I'm hearing that we're still scaring the crap out of people like our parents and other so-called adults who have our best interests in mind. Why exactly was it that we bought this house? Well, to your left is Reason Number One. That is Central Park. I mean, that is our back yard. As you can see, it is a completely blank slate for Katherine to bend to her will.
I'm a total sucker for beveled glass mirrors like this one. And I love the mill work. This is in the parlor on the entry-level floor.
Pay no attention to that shower in the closet. Yes, this may be the #1 item on the wackadoo list, but next to it is another gem - a china cabinet with (almost all) original molding. And beveled glass doors. Did I mention I like beveled glass? This floor had been being used as a studio apartment, and this appears to be their best answer to getting a shower for the tenants. Needless to say, it's coming out.
This bit of fabulosity is in the tenant's living room. Don't you want to live here? It's for rent. Er, not quite yet though.
Another shot of the tenant's living room. Yum! Sunlight!
This is the entry to the building. Lots of great detail you can't see in this picture, but take my word for it.
And this is us. We left the closing and went to Target to buy an air mattress so we could spend our first night in the new place. We got to the house and immediately started ripping up the floors to see what kind of job was in store for us. Then we stopped, looked at the whole house, and thought about what kind of job was in store for us. Not long after, our friend Miriam snapped this shot, which pretty much sums it up.
