Artful Living in Austria

by kate on January 25, 2011

As a prestigious journalistic enterprise, The New York Times has a clear obligation to provide a story and not just pretty pictures for the homes it features. The Home & Garden team at the Times seems to sincerely enjoy the history lessons as much as we do, however, and for that I love them dearly.

Last week they shared a wonderful space with the most interesting background. I won’t recap the entire story here, since they tell it so well. I’ll just say that this apartment—the only one left in an old 19th-century mansion—shares the building with an odd class of tenants. I can’t decide if living above this particular outfit would make me feel incredibly safe, or immensely uncomfortable… You can read the article here and find out what I mean.
