最初的顶楼,保解释说,“是一个彻头彻尾的灾难的20年代公寓与扭曲地板发霉的养兔场的房间。”(The sole remnant of the former space is the '60s chandelier hanging over the arched mirror in the entrance hall.) Today, thanks to its clean lines, white-stained plank floors, golden tones and heavenly views, the five-room space is suffused with a kind of unbearable lightness of being, as it were—away from it all ... warm, calm, serene. "This apartment is all about the spectacular views," says Barman, "from every window, including the dining room. Elaine wanted it to be that, of course, but also asked for banquettes so you could lounge." Or, in her husband's case, pile up papers.

"He's seen it all, knows when it's good. The other morning he woke up and said, I feel like buying a painting today,' and off we went looking. Both of us could sit in art galleries and libraries all day."
在这个项目之前,伊莱恩·乔伊斯·西蒙说她“总是表面更感兴趣,而不是内部的房子。我不能挑选窗帘来拯救我的生活,虽然我一直都知道我喜欢什么。最初的时候我和约翰购物,他问,你喜欢什么?”我说,我不知道。让我们去看。”,我指出一把椅子我喜欢这里,也许人的腿。当他走过来,在我的壁橱里,他惊呆了。你的鞋子在哪里?你没有任何。”,我告诉他,我所有我需要的重要的,因为我知道我像一个特定的高跟鞋和其余的时间运动鞋和公寓。’”
事实上,仍然使保是著名的谦虚couple-starting第一次遇到。“我得到了一个消息,西门夫人想要咨询,所以,当然,我去面试。伊莱恩delightful-pretty,冒泡的,。与此同时,她的丈夫谁感冒了,一直低着头,表示极大的友好。我想,漂亮的女人,但不知道丈夫。无论如何,当我离开的时候,我注意到一个孤独的海报,前门旁边的:广场套房尼尔·西蒙。都说了。我心想:你能多么愚蠢?”
