lol. I like that weekly feature too. You can usually guess which apt they chose by looking at their surroundings in the opening photo. They should put that photo last.

I love the size qualifier about the bed. "The largest piece of furniture will almost necessarily be the bed." Now I'm curious, what else could possibly be the largest piece of furniture in the bedroom?

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

LOL! Yep... this article was not written for the decor obsessed!

I love picking the apartment, too. Kind of like House Hunters, NYC style. I read a lot of tortured language in decorating articles, but that’s really funny.

yes, dee, I wondered about that

myself. What could possibly be bigger than a bed???

I suppose if you have a large suite the bedroom might have a sectional. Although I suspect that gives the writer too much credit.

What will they think of next?

Dee, I have had and I have seen sofas in MBR suites, sometimes a love seat, sometimes a full sofa, but a sectional would be ... possible but doubt I've seen it as they are so ungainly. I guess maybe a huge entertainment center in bright red could be more of a focal point then a bed, esp since it is on a vertical plane. But we are really reaching here!

Well, my son has a twin bed and his wall unit is bigger than the bed, drawers and shelves. So there’s that.

And hey, they are also called “bedside tables”.

I like this quote:

<A well-designed dining room, like this one by Mr. Redd, should leave enough room around the table so guests can easily slide the chairs out.Credit...Simon Upton>

Lars, that's hilarious! Makes me want to imagine some other NYT shelter quotes:

"A well designed room should also have an opening that is large enough for people to pass through to gain entrance to other areas of the home"

"A well designed bathroom should include a source of water in or under which a person can rinse off the COVID19 germs they've encountered that day"

"A well designed room should have at least one source of (preferably electric) light so that the space may be safely used after sunset."

It’s kind of pathetic that these funny made up quotes sound like they could have been pulled directly from the pages of the NYT!

running...how could you forget...a well designed bathroom has storage for 5000 rolls of toilet paper!

Also, I really wish they would bring back actual editors, or begin using them in the first place in some online news articles I read.

Omg. Thank you all for the laugh. Much needed.

Thanks for the funny stuff today!
