Design inspiration from a Sex and the City 2 apartment

Our friends over at HGTV.com have a great blog called Design Happens.

Editor Chelsey Bowen wrote a great post about Carrie and Big’s apartment in the new Sex and the City 2 movie (which is beautiful, by the way, but I don’t understand how they can afford it).

I haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know what neighborhood they live in, but I’m guessing Park Avenue or the Upper West Side. (Leave a comment if you know.)

As a fellow New Yorker, journalist and former single lady who met the love of her life in the Big Apple, I can relate to Carrie.

I only wish I can relate to owning an apartment as amazing as hers. Somehow, my junior 1-bedroom just doesn’t compare. Sigh.

Have a side of real estate with your turkey with these holiday tips

thanksgiving-decor-homeThanksgiving is around the corner, meaning less focus on buying and selling a home, and more focus on preparing your current home for the holidays, shopping for presents and getting together with family.

If you’re like me, you’ll probably check out the movie “New Moon” to see what all the hype is about (if you haven’t seen it already). FrontDoor got into the vampire spirit with a slideshow showcasing the Cullen House from the popular “Twilight” movies, which is listed for under $3.3 million.

But if you’re among those hard-core homebuyers or sellers who won’t (or can’t) stop just because turkey’s on the table, here are some holiday tips from your friends at HGTV’s FrontDoor.com.

Happy Thanksgiving!
