This Long Island home has been making the rounds online — it recently won the 2008 Peconic Honor Award for Architecture/Renovations & Additions from the AIA and is featured in Dwell's upcoming April issue.

I love your armchair at the bottom of the stairs (and everything else about your house). Can you tell me where you got your chair?

Joe looks peeved in every photo.
They have installed a red Ikea kitchen. It's beautiful.
