Our Digs For NYC

After a short, but not so sweet flight from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach and then from the MB to NYC, we have swiftly made ourselves right at home here in New York. We are staying in a penthouse suite (Britton's father's cousin's [BFC] apartment) in Jersey City, right across the Hudson River from Manhattan. We get to walk down to the water front each day with  sweeping views of the NY skyline where I proceed to say 'What is that?" a million times while pointing.

The apartment is in a four-family brownstone, and is wonderfully decorated with little wooden statues and wacky shoe art done by none other than BFC herself. 
A gorgeous chest of drawers that BFC may be using to store her art supplies. It reminds me of a  classic 3-ring circus with the red paint and ornate gold flourishes. 

Some zany shoe art. I feel like tiny people should be playing croquet and nibbling biscuits in this shoe.

Meow.


Mad Hatter? Try Mad Cobbler. 
Beautiful well-lit kitchen with lots of greenery and an AMAZING wooden cutting board/countertop. I also loved the clay tiles on the floor.

And really awesome totems all over this place. These were my favorite due to placement. I believe they are the kitchen gods. I will pay homage to them with a fun-size toblerone.

I am so happy to have such a wonderful place to stay (for free no less) in New York. Stay tuned. More to come!!!
