So what has kept me away from blogging the last few months? Finishing up a project out in the country, a new OTT job on Park Ave, an addition to a client's house and last but not least, we finally bought a small apartment on Riverside Drive which needed a lot of work and of course a trip to Europe that had been planned last January when we didn't know any of this would be happening.
The front hall
This was the original living room with french doors
you can see the door and wall on the left which was added at some point
Sort of odd pass thru made the apartment feel dingy and poky
We started by removing all of the trim and wallboard and then went about restoring the floors
Removed the partition that had been put up to make an extra bed room, not original to the apartment
Widened all of the openings and raised them almost to the ceiling which created a sense of space
The opening before we opened it up
Bathroom is now clad in floor to ceiling marble tile with small marble tiles on the floor
Our color palette
We carved out a nice hall by modifying a deep closet and moving the door to our bed room. All of the original doors from 1910 were stripped
Looking from the bathroom to the hall and beyond
Created a new smaller entrance hall that opens directly into the living room
New kitchen painted F&B Clucnh
The new space furnished. We added built ins and cleaned up all the surfaces
One of our side tables
Looking into the Living room. Bookcase before it was filled up
A corner of the living room

It's been a long summer, but we're finally in the new space and it's just about perfect for us. We're very grateful
and that's all I have for today
