Even more pictures! Pictures are taking over—whoa—that couch is ugly and huge! The majority of this week's Home & Garden is devoted to various tales of regrettable purchases and decorating choices...

- Regrets Only: Yes, that is Joan Rivers.

- Dark Plots Conceived in a Tudor Setting: At Home With Nelson DeMille, author and conspiracy theorist. (Lots of interior images on the second page of the story.)

- In Cape Cod’s Dunes, Something’s Growing Besides Scrub Pine: Houses, new and old, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore.

- Room to Improve: My house needs a new furnace. Which one should I buy?

- Personal Shopper: Thanksgiving tabletop. A lot of turkeys and pumpkins, but other stuff too.










wow. joan rivers' "regretted" folk artist is from the town where i went to high school. her home, a teensy wattle-and-daub shack, has been converted to a museum, which is curated and run by her grandson. i've always remembered her work because it was so unique and her grandson was so nice.
also cause my high school friends and i used to steal swigs of southern comfort behind her house on saturday nights.
and my friend linds just had! to have this cuter than cute dutch oven! you could really only cook the cutiest stews and the best foods in it! anything coming out of this oven would have to be magnificent!!!
Actually, the folk art is the only thing in that picture that looks alive. And the Nelson deMille house is a barf-o-matic. Both the Rivers and De Mille prove that money can be a curse.
(Please let me be cursed with money so that I can prove to be the exception to the rule.)
