The Last(?) Big Renovation

15 years ago - #house

One of the last big renovations was the Bollywood Room and my office. As I'm sitting here writing this, it's hard to believe that this room sat full of junk for years. It's hard to remember that the carpet was ripped up by the door from Gogo trying to escape. It feels like my own personal cave. I never want to leave.

So, after give tours of the house and listening to everyone rave about the X-Men Bathroom, David decided to trust me on my plan for a Bollywood Room. Not because he liked the idea, but because he would do anything to stop people gushing about the X-Men Bathroom. I think he realized that the Bollywood Room had the potential to be the coolest room in the house.

It's close...but there's no beating the X-Men Bathroom. No Way.

The Second Floor

The second floor. This is really our floor. It has Gogo's room, the family/entertainment room, and master bedroom.

The New Kitchen

Shortly after finishing the new kitchen, we saw a commercial for Martha Stewart. We were stunned to realize that we had unknowingly (I swear!) built Martha Stewart's kitchen....except we have a better countertop. But in terms of "look and feel" Martha and ourselves are in agreement. This is either very good or very bad. After spending any amount of time in the kitchen, you will be forced to agree that we nailed it. Especially on a summer day, the doors open to the backyard, everyone hanging around the island without me having to yell, "GET OUT OF MY WAY! I'M COOKING." You will soon forget you are in Manhattan. Let's take a tour through the kitchen with David, shall we?

The House Tour

If you want a virtual tour of the house, this is the place to start. When we bought it, it was the Bowery Mission Women's Home. Even though it's been privately owned for 8 years now, we still occasionally get visitors to the house hoping that it's still a mission home. Sad, I know.
