renovating backwards
our good friend Janet sent over the note below about an apartment owned by a Victorian collecting maniac and his decked out co-op in Park Slope. crazy stuff. we love this idea… “Every fixture was changed back to something 100 years old.”

from our friend… “For those of us who love to collect things. I went to an open house in Windsor Terrace with a friend of mine on Sunday and saw the craziest place I have ever seen – just insane! Here’s a link to it. Victorian furniture, paneling, so much religious stuff and a dozen plus stained glass windows plus a full size stuffed peacock I mean just covering every inch on wall space. Every fixture was changed back to something 100 years old. Seems this man (in his 50’s) has just bought a big (you guessed it!) Victorian House in Maine and is moving. Its way overpriced and when I was there everyone who came thru just freaked! “

we think the place looks amazing. rich, warm and fun, almost hits that our childhood dream of living in a museum.
