NY Home Improvement Blog Patrol
So those flashy (pretentious?)showrooms for the newly built or still under-development condos in Manhattan and Brooklyn are not immune to the real estate/ credit crunch. Josh Barbanel of the New York Times has an article detailing the freezing of ad campaigns and the pulling of sales agents on projects that are at least a year away from completion. What will we miss more about visiting the sales showroom, the ability to scan the sign-in book for friends names or just the overall feel of a touch of Vegas right here in Manhattan?

Photos from ATCertain facets of Japanese culture freak us out, like talking shrimp cartoon characters, vending machine shopping and now, from Tokyo, comes a home design scheme that you have to see to believe. Apartment Therapy LA has the story and some eye-popping photos of something called the "Reversible Destiny Lofts". The architecture features outlets and switches in hard-to-reach places, uneven floors, strange entrance and exits, and colors straight out of your most recent nightmare about that time you got separated from your parents at a carnival. Good luck with all that, Tokyo residents.
