Ooo...more shots of the yurts, please!
Your sense of design and decorating is outstanding...no WONDER we're such big fans of yours and AT!

Congrats sir!!!!

I want to see more of that barn! It's gorgeous.

Love the yurt concept but please was that table lamp really from crate and barrel? I could not find it. Please post it's info!

I was so excited to open up the NYTimes and see you there! Do you mind if I ask where you got that bed?

A fantastic weekend space. Well done.

LOVE this!:)

love it, you feel right at home when you enter the house.
the plates on the chair? what 's the deal with that, they would be knocked over by my dog here.

The barn is by far my favorite of all. Colors, lights, space... everything.
I agree with the plates comment above... they just look weird. Love the stripes, stripes and more stripes in the house.
The yurt is the nicest I've seen. Not a big fan of them but that really looks inviting.

Wow! Beautiful and summery.

And Ursala looking so grown-up!

Stunning! I love the photos!!

that pink painted floor is my new favorite thing!

For the person asking about the bed, it looks like a regular bed frame and a mosquito net hung from the ceiling. Nice story!

The BARN! oh the BARN! Those hot pink floors are to die for!

really awesome! congrats!

I WANT A YURT.

A great family retreat !
please post a few yurt tours ~ both summer and winter.

I want to go to there! Congratulations indeed!!

Sorry, but when I posted this morning, the only pics were in the newspaper.... the bed I was asking about looked like it was in an attic room. I still see it on the NYT website, but not here.

What's not to like! I like everything; it's so creative. I want a yurt. I want it all.

I think that bed with the upholstered headboard and nailhead trim (or at least a very similar one) is from Bernhardt - the Cooper bed.

Love it!!! But the yard and those round kind of sofas. Nice, cool, enjoy. Thanks for sharing..

Love the pink floor and red chairs as well as the yurt, it is sooo lovely.. what a wonderful place to sleep! Congratulations on the NYT!

Brilliant, wonderful, marvelous, magical. Congrats on the NYTimes coverage but mostly on making such a beautiful place for yourself and your loved ones. !!!!

Oh, and can we have more info on the following: the AMAZING outdoor rounded white metal (?) couch units on the brick patio; the floor paints (exactly which ones, the white and the pink!); the upholstered beds (love that you have two) and all those wonderful striped rugs...give us the deets Maxwell! We love you!!

Congratulations!

Not at all interesting.. replace the cheap hollow core doors at least! "Real Estate Agent in the Hamptons"

LOVE, LOVE!

Everything about the barn and the outdoor space is magical. Beautiful!

How different the Times' photos make this lovely place look from Maxwell's photos! I saw the Times piece first and I thought Maxwell wouldn't do a place so precious and formal. Then I saw Maxwell's photos and I went Awwww.....yes - this is the real deal. Thanx!

cozy & fun. i want to attend a party in that barn!!

Definitely -- the Times' photos don't do it justice!!

Love it!! (this is what I mean about honesty in design...)

I'm sad to read that you're separated from your wife. The home is really lovely.

Precious and rustic!

I love the overalls the most. Congratulations!

Breathtaking. Now, where do I sign up to rent out the yurt?

Very nice and comfy.

Please explain the plates on and under the chair by the front door when the kitchen and dining are in the barn (?). Curious and curiouser.

Perilously placed plates near door? Lo-tech burglar alarm?

What an amazing family compound. Very magical. I also especially love that white outdoor rounded couch and the soothing colors in the room with all your squiggle art. Am I the last to know about empty-wine-bottle trees? I've only once before seen a DIY variation I thought was uniquely creative; is it to capture light?

Also sad to learn the personal news.

Awesome place! Particularly love the barn!!

Interesting . . . I have a love-hate relationship with Apartment Therapy.

MG-R has promoted small time living in style of which I approve.

However, I began to see through the fine print when I began to understand that MG-R is FROM $$. My "radar" was tipped-off when I started to read many years ago about going to the Hamptons for weekends. If I was scraping by living in a miniscule apartment in NYC I would question how one would have the $$'s to spend lavish weekends in the Hamptons. Turns out, of course, that Mother owns a house on 18 acres in the Springs. Must be REALLY NICE. The NYT article points out that MG-R bought a house in the Springs 16 years ago (good for him) at age 30 for $220,000 and has spent $50,000 DECORATING (good for him, again, if you have the $$'s.)

I bought my first condo (in Chicago in 1993) at 40 for $155,500 after decades of saving and I was thrilled. And in all honesty it took years to get out of the crush of expenses that buying a condo imposes - forget decorating or furnishing.

So, MY take-away was that $$ was never an object for MG-R. The small space living was either a personal choice and/or a challenge, but not because he had to do it financially. To me, that is a bit of a SHAM.

I want to see more pics of YOU, lol. That one shot of you looking rakish and wistful at the same time just isn't enough.

Very inviting & just beautiful!

I like the photos you took more than the times! Really fun funky spaces. However, once I read that you are separated and sharing custody of your 5 year old, all of a sudden it wasn't so great. Waaaahhh. I had always thought of you as the perfect cute family, i'm really sad.

@Magnolia: I have similar misgivings. Whilst design sites are necessarily aspirational, I sometimes feel that AT's message about making the most of small (rented) spaces is more than a little disingenuous.

I love it ALL! Really like what you did with your Apartment Therapy Drawings as well as the framed baby overalls with the mirror up top! What fun! Could I have the barn kitchen with a house to put it in? :)

I seriously want that barn on our property. Would you care to share any plans or blueprints? How do you use the loft space? Do you have heating? Was this a metal building with siding added? Sooooo many questions!

can you tell us how you did the lighting fixture in the top pic?
