The NYT's Habitats column goes inside the 45 Sutton Place apartment of a fashion director turned real estate broker who's so obsessed with pre-war apartments that she spent $125,000 giving her post-war 1BR an old-fashion makeover. Optical illusions include an electric fireplace equipped with ceramic logs and mirrors to make the flames leap, and decorative molding everywhere. Trying to make something look older? Plastic surgeons everywhere are reeling. [NYT]
