I dearly loved and miss the office at my old Lyndale home. I'm an incurable nester and now, having nested well in the Emerson parlor, my longings for Lydale are subsiding.

The Emerson living room is back in order. Now, this beautiful space nurtures me as the parlor does. Lyndale pangs diminish further.

Ahhh, so good for my heart. This is what my displacement looks like. New, discrete, loudspakers on the bookshelves bring musical beauty to the space.

Here's the north sun room, poorly photographed.

This photo does a bit more to show how lovely the sun room is.

Here's the dining room. Aaron's choices are terrific: understated, elegant objects on the plate rails, and a killer Stickley cabinet pressed into service as a hi-fi rack.

I've lived in a number of south Minneapolis apartments that featured built-in buffets, none prettier than this one.
