The Second Floor

23 years ago - #pre-renovation

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

A niche. What do we put here? I vote for a statue of the virgin mother. Please email us with suggestions.

Gogo's room. She can hang out here during the day and monitor 15th street.

This bathroom is being split in two - a small powder room accessible from the hallway, and the master bath accessible only from the master bedroom. No more stalls. I wanted to take Monica's advice and leave them there for parties.

And up to the third and final floor. The payphone is gone. :(

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.
