The magazine does not knowingly show homes that are currently on or will be going on the market for sale, nor does the magazine show those that have recently sold. The only exception is the Estates for Sale column; <BR/>2. When Architectural Digest commissions a photo shoot, the magazine absorbs the photo fees and expenses associated with such. These costs are NOT passed on to the homeowner. However, if the photographer is commissioned directly by the client (homeowner/designer/architect) to shoot on spec for them (this does happen), the magazine is not involved with these arrangements or costs.<BR/>3. Lastly, homes are like people, some are photogenic and some are not. Therefore, not everything that is photographed for the magazine sees print.<BR/><BR/>I hope you and your readers find this information helpful (and yes, Stephen S. is a nice guy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-38993603577334032672009-03-11T15:42:00.000-07:002009-03-11T15:42:00.000-07:00And you would still live in?

The crushed gravel motor court is appropriate but I would think it'd be somewhat impractical. Some of her artwork and accessories are a little cliche for my taste but that stuff isn't part of the architecture, anyway, and I agree with a previous poster who thought the pool would be better in the middle of the courtyard with driveway access to the garage from the front motor court. If I lived here, I'd want to see the facade when I arrived, not the alley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-90480059916766931292009-03-11T08:13:00.000-07:002009-03-11T08:13:00.000-07:00anon 6:40 hush now we all know you are Woody Allen...anon 6:40 hush now we all know you are Woody Allen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-54193281885076197992009-03-11T04:49:00.000-07:002009-03-11T04:49:00.000-07:00What's with the little figures around the patio fo...What's with the little figures around the patio fountain?

Clay driveway vs. tile pavers, Tile inlay vs. statuary;etc. Sounds like some Frank Lloyd Wright house the way some of these bloggers are gushing over it. <BR/><BR/>But the house is best bought by one of her very rich artsy-fartsy friends with deep pockets and ego to match. Most people want a house, and not some famous persons attempt at overpriced historical interpretation. Anybody can historically renovate a house with help from designers and reference material.
