My mailbox was nearly empty on Saturday, so I decided to drag my nephew (who is visiting for the summer) to Barnes & Noble with me to fulfill my visual needs.  It is where I re-discovered ModernHome Living magazine.

We first met at a newsstand in Manhattan in the Spring.  It was it’s first issue featuring Mario Lopez.

Celebrity or not, I love to see homes belonging to others.

Their second issue, which I purchased last Saturday, features a tour of the apartment belonging to Sex and the City’s Big & Carrie.

Their apartment is a little too modern for me but there are certain things I liked in particular.  Such as Carrie’s pristine closet.  I would spend my entire day in a closet like Carrie’s.

The upholstery and fabric in the apartment is stunning.  In fact, I was tempted to take advantage of a great deal being offered by Maddie G Designs on the Belgravia fabric.  I just needed a game plan.

What strikes me the most about this apartment is the attention to detail.  There was not one thing overlooked by the set designers.

Since I can personally attest to being a family of two, I find the apartment living for two quite fascinating.

If I were to replicate this style of design, the first designer to pop into my mind is Robert Petril.  I can see him take an inspiration such as Big & Carrie’s apartment and create a design that is on the edge.

I would be content just to have a closet such as Carrie’s.  And maybe just one pair of Jimmy Choos on display on the shoe rack. Admittedly, I do not believe my feet can withstand a pair of Jimmy Choos for more than 10 minutes but they do make a great accessory for a closet like the diva herself, Carrie Bradshaw.

Thank you, ModernHome Living Magazine for dreaming of the possibilities.  It was a fun journey.
