well, mr. big is a wealthy man. he's been in finance for quite a while. remember he gave up a park ave apartment and bought a vineyard in california. and the apartment they live in is quite a comedown from the penthouse they bought before getting married. and now that carrie is supposed to have authored a string of hit books, her advance for the second or third contract might have been seven-figures.

they're not middle class. carrie was a working class professional on the show who had scored a rent-controlled apartment. otherwise, it would be unlikely she could have afforded that much space in that neighborhood.

i have a friend who bought a studio on CPW about ten years ago. it's a lot bigger than the one in this video. And there are plenty of good sized rentals on the same street for decent, not fabulous, incomes.

(and $700 is a sweet rent! especially for that area. i spent six years paying in the $500s up on 181st Street.)

Thanks for leaving a comment on my ottoman!

Even though my house is not as small as the previous, I still love perusing through small-space books, articles, blogs (did you see you blog on my bloglist???) and just marvel at the ideas and creativity. Clutter is my biggest weakness and these small-space dwellers continue to inspire me to just clean up a bit :)

I live in a pretty small apartment, myself, but thank gawd I'm in Chicago, and it's not nearly as expensive at NYC! I love what she did with the place and the space, but $700/month!?

Oh my gosh - that movie WAS ridiculous. All of it - especially that head crown (I had forgotten about it). Also, I ADORED their apartment. It was so beautifully decorated and the perfect size - though I think my girlfriends and I all uthe same thing - NO WAY in New York. But wow - I cannot image living in as small a space as the one in the video!!!

Idk if I could do an apartment that small, but hey...

Yikes! Just watching that video makes me feel a little claustrophobic. It's great that she's managed to make so much of her space, but I don't know if I could do the same!
