Today New York magazine's Wendy Goodman treks to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where she revisits the apartment of former Blue's Clues star Steve Burns that was featured in the magazine's Fall 2010 Home Design issue. The dwelling, a converted 2,000-square-foot garage, was just as Goodman last saw it, except for—oh, right—now there's a mighty fine courtyard igloo.
