We'd love to visit the apartment from her novel, The Little Women... "Long before feng shui was something people in New York had ever heard of, the Greens' apartment had good feng shui.
There was nothing immediately special about the furniture or the
way the rooms were arranged. There was just some indescribable essence
of rightness in those rooms - the way sunlight fell generously through
the windows at all hours onto the geometrically patterned hooked rugs
that were scattered over the plain wood floors all through the apartment; the way
ordinary museum posters looked especially rich and meaningful when
framed and hung in oddly low spots on the walls (they were low so the
children could see them from the floor when they were small); the way
the front hall door clicked shut, just so; the way any music sounded
marvelous when played on their crazy mess of stereo equipment, which
featured old KLH speakers that Lou had in college."
