Last year, New York Magazine published these shots of NYC apartments and spaces, true diamonds-in-the-rough. Totally worth another look--just the beautiful tonic for anyone battling real estate fatigue.

No Guts, No Glory! [NYP]
Squeamish? Then maybe a gut reno apartment isn't for you, you big baby.

These trees have a long and proud history that dates back thousands of years before they began stinking up NYC neighborhoods.

Mmm... Horsey! [Sun]
Construction will soon begin on the conversion of the historic Claremont Riding Academy into nine luxury apartments. Many of the original fixtures will be saved, but not the interior wood structures that are unlikely to ever part with their horsey fragrance.
