Demo!

We have gutted our apartment.
The little cartoon I drew on the wall on Valentine's day is long gone. So are all the walls, the appliances, the really nice bathroom in back (gulp!) and basically everything.
It's actually really exciting. Our space looks glorious in its raw form. The wall of windows, finally free of any obstructions, is absolutely dazzling. The ceilings seem even higher and the space even grander. Best of all--without the old walls and kitchen cabinets in the way, we can better envision the apartment that we've designed over the past months.

Here are some of our latest shots..
Our building. (In case you we wondering where all the action was taking place)


Our building permit. You need one of these to start knocking walls down and the NYC Department of Buildings doesn't make it easy to get one.



The wall between the living room and former bedroom--gone! Behold the windows!



Wall dividing living room and TV room is gone. This wall will be replaced.



Big mess of plumbing and electrical in the back wall.


The old master--minus the closets. Turns out the floors used to be black--who knew?


Kitchen is no more.
