Graydon Carter, a notable editor and author, has filled his Greenwich Village residence with personal artifacts that reflect his rich life and career. He challenges the negative stereotype of storage units, asserting that his collection signifies discernment rather than hoarding. His Litchfield County storage is immaculate, contrasting with typical views on storage. Carter highlights the importance of both collecting items that hold sentimental value and knowing when to let go of excess through auctions and sales, demonstrating a refined aesthetic sense in his living environment.
To Graydon Carter, a founder and coeditor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair, all of this seems terribly unfair. "No, hoarding is when you save newspapers..."
'You go through taste periods. I probably had 20 French doors... We just auctioned them all off,' he says. In other words, as much as the man knows how to collect, he also knows how to cut.
