I really loved this couple in the Times Homes section, which is a rare thing. Usually, I loathe the people they profile, because they are stupid and wasteful in their quest for gold covered door knobs. Sure, sometimes I’m masking jealousy, but let’s not talk about that.
This story, which has much better pictures in the hard copy, profiles this unusual home. It’s in the East 60s in Manhattan, with an enormous art studio on the ground floor. The guy runs an art school. And she writes little novels on the upper floors, where they live. They’ve also got three kids. So, they’re all at home working and raising their kids all at the same time. The wife tries to separate things a bit. She arranges playdates in the kitchen, not at her desk where does her writing.
If you like your work, if it’s more of a calling than a job, then this has to be a really nice way to live.
Apt. 11d 
Why are they little novels? Because they’re geared towards teen-aged girls?
Thanks for pointing out the article, I would’ve missed it, and I’m actually a fan of Ms. Brashare’s books.

I’m impressed that you don’t have any jealousy issues with this couple. The’re gorgeous, well off, live in a fabulous house in NYC. Fortunately, I’ve never wanted to write novels, or paint classical pictures, or I’d be dreadfully jealous.
I too really like the combined use space. I think it works when it’s a calling, but also when everything is going well (i.e. there’s enough money, and the you get to pick the students). Current zoning stuff usually prevents things like this, though. I would love to see more of it, people who combine work & family in a way that let’s the kids see the work. My own work (i.e. the lab work) is impossible at home, but I do enjoy my kids seeing the other stuff (like analysis), and hosting scientific colleagues in my house.
