Almost there....

Hey everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your Wednesday! We're getting things situated little by little...on the other side of this room & everywhere else - we STILL have a mess of boxes.  I will show it all when it's ready....

  18. Caren: I only have one dog now... The cold isn't as bad.. It's the noise that's taking time for her to get used to. Too much stimulus for her...!

  26. Hi Jen - I think your blog and products are fab and congrats on the move. Just an FYI from a native New Yorker - it's pretty easy to tell which building you live in from the shot of your corner taken from the balcony, like the pic posted. NY street corners don't have the same visual anonymity as streets or yards in Las Vegas, so it's easy to tell which building the photo is taken from just from the store front and restaurant facades across the Avenue. Just wanted to let you know in case you don't want your address basically posted on the blog. All the best -

  27. What a great post! Everything is looking great!

    ReplyDelete
  33. welcome to the neighborhood! there are so many cool places to try on 3rd and 2nd Ave. enjoy being back in the city! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ashley: they're the Brit boots by Jeffrey Campbell. Got them at shopbop... But free people carries them. They run small.. I'm an 8 1/2 & had to get a size 10 for them to fit!

  35. Wow Jen it must seem a little surreal to wake up in NY knowing that you're not going back to Las Vegas! What a whirlwind... looks fantastic though and I can't wait to see how you're going to decorate your new space. Great pics as always :) Have fun!!!

  46. You are making us all yearn to move to NYC now. Use to live in Hoboken (7 mins on the PATH train to NYC). THe Dont honk sign is making me laugh. I have never seen such, and they fine you a whole $350 if you do? Whao. What is the reason behind that anyway. I wish We had one in my apartment, there is this one particular dude who comes for his girl friend everymorning ( i guess to take her to work or something) and he always honks - which isvery rare but i guess he must be new to this town where i live - I wish he wouldnt do that. He honks in the mornig and he honks in the evening. I been meaning to tell the leasing office about him. He always startles me out of bed. LOL - I feel like standing at my window like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America and shouting at him to stop it sometimes. I live in a quiet and decent neighborhood so that his honking behaviour is so rare.

    ReplyDelete
  47. sorinko: ha! you should def complain about him...has he tried using his cell? geez...

    As for the city....the honking is so it won't get OUT OF CONTROL...basically if everyone honked all the time..the city would be way too loud. Its annoying because so many people live in buildings so close to traffic..so they have to set rules.

    In a quiet neighborhood, like my old one, i also heard honking and would get startled...funny, because here it doesn't bother me as much. figures.

  48. Oh Jen, I'm so nostalgic for my time in NY- I see you were by Rainbow Hardware- I used to live down the block on 75th and 1st. Such a great time in my life. Definitely do Corrado's- excellent bread!

  57. hey there, loved your blog, got a question though, I saw you have a dog. I have a very nice apartment and my son wants us to take a labrador, so I was wondering doesn't your dog ruin your apartment? thanks )

  59. Armenian fashionista: hi! My dog is pretty well behaved.. She's about 7 yrs old so she doesn't ruin my apt. Or my things.. However when she was younnger (around 2 & 3 yrs old) she would destroy a few things. If you want a dog & are worried about your apt, you may consider getting an older dog who is already mature. I can't imagine it's anymore difficult than keeping the place clean with a child.. ;)

  60. thanks a lot ) I'll think about it

    ReplyDelete
