"The duplex five-bedroom apartment on Attorney Street that Daniel Vosovic calls home seems ready-made for a television sitcom. There’s the location, on the of-the-moment Lower East Side, with its mix of detox juice bars and Old World knishes, runway models and streetwise misfits. There are Mr. Vosovic’s four roommates, who work in disparate industries — cupcakes, high fashion, education and sofas.
And there’s the fact that Mr. Vosovic has already scored a success on the TV reality show “Project Runway."
"It’s nice to have some sort of family here where you know each other’s business, their parents, everything,” Mr. Vosovic said." "The first time they saw their new home was the day in September 2007 that they moved in. Not only was it filthy, with an unidentifiable slimy substance on the walls and a rotten mattress on the floor tagged with a sign reading “Keep this if you’d like,” but it was also about four feet narrower than the place they had been shown. That meant it was missing a huge closet and had a much smaller kitchen."
"All major decisions, like what couch to get, are voted on. And there seems to be only one hard-and-fast house rule: If you leave dishes in the sink for more than 24 hours, they will be put in your bed, under the covers."
