A Night at the W

The first night of the fire, we had to stay at a hotel. Luckily, the W Hotel at Union Square accepted dogs.

Trying to get the little princess to calm down.

The was Gogo's first experience with post-modern decorating and she was clearly tantalized by it. As soon as she got into the room, she started running around like a crazy person. I don't know if it had anything to do with the fact that the comforter was down, but when she jumped on the bed, she crouched down and started chewing aimlessly. Go figure.

She did eventually calm down and the second night we actually felt refreshed when we woke up.

Gogo was suspicious of the mirror. She kept running behind it (it was freestanding and not connected to anything).

Relaxing. And thinking of breakfast.

Keith's Office

Keith's Office (aka The Anti-David Room) has been done in a 70's/Blaxploitation theme. I found some fantastic vintage wallpaper on the internet, a lamp from E-Bay, and pulled out the Pam Grier movie posters that David had never let me hang on the wall.

The Creamsicle Room

When we first renovated the living room, we had picked out a color called "milquetoast" that was very plain beige on the swatch. By the time we got to painting the living room, we were exhausted with renovations. The painters first got paints that were the same number from a different paint manufatcurer. It came out very dark olive green. David came home and said, "wrong, wrong, wrong!" The next day he came home and they had painted a panel with the rigth color, but on the wall it came out very peachy. I didn't say anything because I figured David would tell them the color was wrong.

Gogo: Queen of the Jungle

During the summer of the first renovation, Gogo's favorite spot to hang out was in the backyard. It happened once that she figured out how to get loose from the top floor and wandered through a construction zone down three flights of stairs to hang out in the backyard. From then on, we asked the guys on the ground floor if they would mind just keeping an eye on her in the backyard.
