(Welcome Geoff! — Geoff Bentz is a new daily contributor for Apartment Therapy New York)
With summer heating up New York, neon fashions are hitting the sidewalks — but can neon be used to accent a home? Would DayGlo décor fit my pre-war brownstone? A dose of bold neon can turn an ordinary setting into a work of art. Suddenly my traditional living room looks like it belongs on display at the New Museum. Or at the very least, like I belong in Williamsburg. Check out these bright ideas...

Welcome and thank goodness Apartment Therapy finally has a blogger without multiple personalities... its refreshing to see a blogger use the singular reference.

discomonkey: sarah rae started out without multiple personalities as well. Give Geoff time and I'm sure he'll be forced to write in the AT multiple personality style as well... unfortunately.
This issue alone has significantly caused my interest in AT to wane.

Geoff - welcome! Enjoyed the inaugral post. And yes - please don't let them take away your use of the first person!
PS I also appreciate the "ideas" and "furnishings" as opposed to "idea's" and "furnishing's" ... :)
