We always refered to cobwebs as Irish Lace.
traditionalmod,
Why do I hate mid-century modern?
Probably because it’s what I was “supposed” to like in my formative years. “Hate” was too strong a word, I suppose, and my dislike for the style is no doubt a personal shortcoming. Nevertheless, I recognize the merit of the best examples of that style and don’t dispute that it’s very much worth preserving. I just wouldn’t want to lived in a mid-century modern building or have that style of furniture in my home. We all have our idiosyncrasies 🙂
You know the difference between shanty irish & lace curtain Irish?
Lace curtain Irish take the pots out of the sink before they pee in it.
Where I come from, it’s called “Lace Curtain Irish”, which means you’ve made a step up from “Shanty Irish”.
Lace Curtains being used, of course, to cover up the mess behind the windows.
Luce, thanks for the addition to my vernacular! Now, I’m off to the Irish Riviera! (See The Times’ Sunday Real Estate Section).
Were I thinner skinned I’d take offense at the “two-toilet Irish” remark.
Seems we can get away with some ethnicisms (?) but not others. LOL
Wait, sorry for the two comments in a row, but looking at the layout of the place and the curb view, it looks like a big diner layout. Like someone took the plans to a diner and then plopped that center piece in the middle.
Since it’s a custom job (clearly) I’d also like to see if there are any hatches or false floors in the place. Seriously, something has to be stashed there.
So why was it sold? Some guy’s Goomah didn’t like it?
One word describes this place………GAUDY…..
I sort of like it. It actually looks more like 2 million dollars than many things in Clinton Hill.
