Vintage anything lends a warm-n-fuzzy feeling. Whether it’s an old style coat, a red barn in the countryside or a wallpaper pattern in the Big Apple, nostalgia delivers a smile to the heart. It’s timeless and classic and just fun to wear or see or live with.
Metal refinishing is coming our way in droves, from safes and signs to elevators, fences, sinks and industrial sites. It just might elicit some degree of bewilderment and hesitation to encounter a damaged elevator door.
Tucked in between Broadway and the Hudson River, a block from the Hudson River Waterfront Greenway, this charming apartment needed something to spruce up the kitchen. We are not positive the greenway was instrumental, but it could have been for the choice of Sherwin-Williams Retro Mint color for the lower cabinets.
There was a time when interior residential design presented every room enclosed in its own walls with a door. Heating would have been one consideration, with fireplaces or heat sources in each room before central heating could reach all the spaces.
The Museum of Modern Art, Central Park, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Times Square and more are mere blocks from this wonderful Manhattan apartment. The resident here has the most popular kitchen sink, which is stainless steel.
First impressions can set the stage for any experience, and you don’t have to be a germaphobe to experience a spot of hesitation stepping into a dirty elevator.
