So you read that T Magazine story about Dinder House, that 40-room Georgian manor in BF Somerset or wherever England, and you get to the end, and what is the one thing you want to see?:
At Crawford's suggestion, they turned the ballroom into the kitchen and created a Lego room. If a room with a perfect view dedicated to Lego sounds ostentatious, it isn't here; it's used daily.Am I right? Lego room? And then there's no picture of it.
Well, I couldn't find it online, but I did find this sweet candid shot of the exterior, including the porch which features enough plastic ride-on vehicles to make you wonder what happened to the carriage house. Also, one garbage bag. You stay classy, Somerset!

Now my playroom just feels silly without an Aga.
There is the cover shot, which I bet is the room in question http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/04/01/t-magazine/tmag-coverSpringDesign/tmag-coverSpringDesign-tmagArticle.jpg
Nope, that's the playroom, not the Lego room.

Between the lousy set of shots in that T magazine and the awful redesign of the NYT Magazine (not to mention the loss of The Medium, Cohen as the Ethicist, and On Language), I cancelled my subscription. Now I can use the savings to build my own freakin' Lego room and not take photos of it.
