6 "show" apartments at Meier's 165 Charles Street are about to open for a looksee. Jill's already booked to go. More pics and a report on Monday the 13th.

On the surface H&H may be all about the Oscars this week, but underneath there's some great furniture and design going on. There's also intrigue going on as H&H editor Mike Cannell just announced his departure for REAL simple magazine.

But let's get to the important stuff, on with the roundup...
