We got a kick out of reading the “Mortgage-In-Laws” piece in the House & Home section today. Aside from the creative approach to affording a brownstone, the interior design of this Carroll Street house blew us away. This kitchen may be the best adaptation of an original parlor floor we’ve ever seen. And the rest of the Park Slope house has a wonderful mix of the traditional and the modern with just the right amount of whimsy thrown into the mix. As the article implies, the $500,000 reno budget probably understates the cost because of all the free input and discounted materials the couples were able to get. Still, what a great job.
