haha was reading that while waiting for my bodega pancakes this morning and thinking "if i had brought my phone, i'd be linking this on quid/ag, but if i'd brought my phone, i probably would not have bought the paper to pass the time waiting for my pancakes"

Can't lie. I am a big fan of Young House Love. The whole endeavor should be something that fills me with irritation but they are just so charming I can't help but like them. I sincerely wish them the absolute best.

Guilty here too--although I haven't read their blog in a long time, I remember their wedding and their first house reno and all their wonderful tricks and ideas. I really should hate them, but I don't.

And there was the hedonistic all-day affair in Dubai, where I topped off courses of Japanese, Chinese and Lebanese food with a full English roast beef dinner, all consumed while hovering above the desert in an air-conditioned five-star hotel restaurant and guzzling a jeroboam of Veuve Clicquot.
I know right?

yeah I think so too, it's just a silly, inflated word to use for merely not being on the ground.

it's just standard issue annoying nyt style writing -- same with "guzzling a jeroboam of Veuve Cliquot" -- cramming *distinguished* words into a small space where they don't actually make the description more precise, just more haughty.

He decorated his bedroom lavishly, prominently hanging an image of himself on one wall. Some of the furniture was custom made; some is antique. “I felt I had never been content with my surroundings,” he said. Now, he absolutely is.“Home decorating turned into one of my projects,” he said. “It’s a luxurious pop-art environment that reflects my taste and is a true representation of me.”

On the Lower East Side, a renovated two-bedroom in a building with a roof deck and a gym was almost $4,000. “It was pristine,” Mr. Papier said, but small in every way. “The staircases were tiny, the closets were tiny, you open the door to the bedroom and immediately walk into the bed.”
And it was on the top floor of a six-story walk-up. “That is a lot of money to have something that is an inconvenience to you,” said Mr. Papier, who travels often, lugging suitcases. “If it is a dream apartment, you can suck it up,” but this was not.

Eating watermelon in the summertime is one of the great American rituals. I've been to parties hosted by African-Americans where watermelon was served, unselfconsciously. I hope that Ms. Woodson can return to that childhood joy that she once experienced.
