Fantastic use of space! I also live in Jackson Heights and have essentially the same kitchen layout. I find I never actually eat in the eat-in part of my kitchen. Creating another use for it would ...
Awesome, awesome place! And I LOVE that the history of the tenement is so alive in the space.
If anyone is interested, I found it listed in the NY Times for $325k.
I also bought a Water Management shower head (the Fire Hydrant hand-held) based on a previous AT post. And I completely agree with @ser—one of the best home-improvement purchases ever. The Wa...
It's neat when you know what's going on (and the last piece is definitely amazing) but otherwise it really, REALLY creeps me out. Reminds me of bedbugs, fleas/ticks, swarms of insects, mold.... Not...
The Astoria chair has been around for at least a year but you're right, it's a nice chair and perfect for a bedroom corner, which is where I have mine. It's super comfortable for a smallish chair a...
Sorry to be nit-pick but product and brand names are the easiest things to spell-, fact-, and format-check, especially products that are so prolific. IPhone? IPod Touch? Really?!
I had definitely seen this space before and would have gone insane wracking my brain wondering where. Thanks to the other AT commenters for reminding me it was on design*sponge!
The last four years of NYC apartments include:
First: $1,200 for a "fake" bedroom (used to be the living room, roommate put up a pressurized wall, hardly any common space), in technica...
Good luck, Alexis! I am mildly obsessed with the NYC real estate market (I currently own in Jackson Heights, Queens) so I'm sure you'll eventually score a great deal. Have fun!

Great color—so soothing. (And yay for JHeights!)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! It amazes me that this is a rental. A truly lovely, comfortable, stunning home.

I'm a really messy showerer (suds fly everywhere) so the whole "shower room" concept wouldn't really work for me but it looks great!

Wow, rad. 'Tis quite the man cave!

Man I love this place. Rest assured I would be making an offer if I wasn't unemployed and could qualify for a mortgage!

*I mean, yours truly feels like a home. ;)
