Someday someone will discover the gene sequence for a desire to live in a television apartment--specifically, Mary Tyler Moore's. (The sequence MTM? I totally have it, it's located somewhere around MM, the ability to eat one-pound bags of chocolate candy and then three-course meals.) There's a post-off about TV decor over at Shelterrific, and this has led me to discover an actual blueprint of MTM's awesome pad here. So awesome. All the love for the sunken living room reminds me of my first single-girl residence, a sweet and chic studio at the Kensington House, chronicled once by the New York Times in a studio-centric piece.

My kitchen sink was so wee that I had to fill my stock pot in the bathtub, and my closets left a lot to be desired, but I had the glorious sunken living space. No doorman named Carlton, however, which reminds me--hey, that was on "Rhoda"!

I find a way to not do a lot of things. Like this week it dawned on me that I like to decorate for the holidays--and after purchasing this, I am now kicking myself for not making Our Own Very Special Handmade Chrismukkah complete with pom-pom yarn wreaths and the cute trees, and not collecting a particular color of vintage ornament. OK, there were no photographs of crafty menorahs, but I could've worked something out. So now I'm gazing at other people's totally cute Christmases and experiencing a desperate sense of longing.

I guess I can start making my pom-pom wreath for next year.
