This loft was featured in The New York Times this weekend. I have lived in many places but never Manhattan. If I were to live there - this is how I picture my "residence". I would obviously also be imagining an enormous bank account - this loft was $3.2 million.

For me, its the free-flowing, open plan feeling. Rooms full of inspiration. Slightly industrial but warm and inviting, at the same time.

Two single women share this apartment. They have their own living spaces with a communal interior hallway. One of the women wanted a full kitchen along with a marble counter top for candy making. The other was happy with a microwave.
Both an artists - one paints enormous canvases so needed the wall space - the other draws and created from her bed - so furnishings in her room are very minimal.

The bookcases in both lofts are pieces of art, in their own right.
