A Jewel in the Crown [My Brownstone]
These have made me chuckle every time I’ve seen them. Someone should organize a show of found art from Brooklyn homes and yards. Congrats too on a beautiful looking house.
Thankfully, we did very little in the living room but have the floor sanded. We haven’t even repainted! A blessing considering that we gutted the kitchen and extension, gutted an upstairs bathroom, had a new electric service panel installed, along with new BX for A/C and kitchen and laundry appliances, replaced a ceiling in the front room 3rd floor (no photo posted), did a lot of prep and painting in other rooms…yada, yada, yada. Still plenty of work to do. Just finishing the garden level bathroom this weekend, with subway tile (oh no!) and a mosaic design.
Thanks for looking, anonymous!
I’m loving that living room. Did you have to do a lot of work on it?
