Love It or Hate It? Times Square Station 42nd Street Chair
American artist and metalsmith Boris Bally was commissioned by the New York City Transit Museum to create his Times Square Station 42nd Street Chair ($2,200). Each one-of-a-kind chair is handmade in his studio in Providence, RI, with pieces hand-cut and edges shaped and filed by hand from reflective aluminum signs inspired by New York's famous MTA graphics. I'd love to see one of these in a New York City kitchen, living room, or even an office.

Neither was trained as a designer or architect, but their skill is undeniable. And you might say, their design style is influential.
Glenn Close Lists Her Upper West Side Digs
$11.8 million is a lot of money. A lot of money. If I had that kind of money, I would most definitely buy myself a beautiful spread, and hire a fancy decorator to fill it with killer décor.
On the Market: Crow Hill
Oooh if only I were a millionaire! I just stumbled across this historic Greek Revival home for sale in Upstate New York (Kinderhook), on the market for $1.9 million, and I've died and gone to heaven. On the National Registry of Historic Places, the property, called Crow Hill, was built in 1839 by American General Charles Whiting on more than 30 acres on a hill overlooking Kinderhook Creek, with views of the Catskill Mountains.
Cupcakes For Dudes: Love It or Hate It?
Like it or not, the cupcake craze is still so, so far from over. On the heels of frozen frosting shots, cupcake cars, and Twilight cupcakes, a new concept emerges: Cupcakes for dudes.The Village Voice tipped us off to New York's Butch Bakery, which refers to itself as "where butch meets buttercream." Here, devil's food-fanatical alpha males can choose from flavors like Jackhammer and Driller.
