@@HattieKolp restored homes have more character in them and the history they have. Honestly, I love that more than the newly build ones that typically always have a few different layouts, but pretty much the same
Me too! Why turn a pre-war apartment into a monument to Ikea and neutral tones! It's given you such a lovely space to work with.Butler's pantries are so special,especially if you love to entertain.❤
When I was 6 my family sold our cottage that had been in the family for almost 70 years. They could not afford it anymore. I vowed to buy it back when I grew up. And when I was 20, I had enough money to buy it back. I painted and refurnished it just the way I remembered. It made my Nana so happy, and ever since we spend every summer swimming and having fun at that cottage.
Stunning work! Can’t wait to see the finished makeover. I wish more people would show their journeys with us. Sending you all a greeting of love, hugs and many blessings. LLL ❤
You’re right WAY too cool not to return to original passage to the dining room. Hurry up I can’t wait to see it! Just kidding..boy do I ever know how time consuming reno’s can be. Fabulous job 😊
Brilliant! I can't WAIT to see the entire property finished, staged and lit perfectly for atmosphere then filmed to thoroughly enjoy walking through with you. Great job so far.
I have seen most of your renovation videos , love the way you changed everything and made it your own and kept the original as much as possible, very smart renovations ; and the music almost from long ago , beautiful ❤ . My question is if you don't mind my dear your age ? I think you are just lovely.
I love what you do in your apartment, is such an inspiration. I wonder how much has your rent gotten up since that time you said you pay $1300. I hope you don’t mind me asking. I have a rent stabilized apartment but every time I renew the lease rent goes up a couple of hundreds.
Looks good ,your just expanding the space and its gonna look great! I like that wallpaper though. It will look more spacious even if its a tight area. Can't wait to see it! And I like how you decorate. A nice piece of stained glass would look great above that door.....
I want you to hurry up with your reno, but I also know how time consuming, and waiting on pieces you don’t find just anywhere. Your apartment is going to be beautiful!
Its really cool. When i qas young i did already did was cover chairs or anything. You will love all this mire. It nice for you both. That was kinda nice wallpaper. Very nice so far. Very talented. My parents just past 60 years. They started doing things like this. They still date.that is a secret. Some time irs just a little ride to desert then picnic lunch then home. Yoy be in my prayes 💗❤️😎😎😎💙
Would love to see you replace the window in that door. I have a door just like that and need to replace the window but have no idea where to even begin. 😬
To bad he's passed but my uncle used to make stained glass vintage transom. He made so many here in PA that he and his family would go on two vacations off his windows. They were gorgeous. But think about a stained glass transom/
Be very, very careful!! After major renovations, landlords will often jack the rent because, as a result of your renovations, the 'property is now more valuable'.
@@dianegenx let’s ask questions and not judge shall we? If you’re new to my content you may not know that I would never demo anything unless I had absolutely no choice as I have built my entire career on restoration. Floor sloped 4.5” in places so not only the subfloor but every single joist needed to individual surgery to get the floor to even out
It looks fantastic! Do you have a lot of rules and regulations that you have to follow because it's a pre-war building? I've heard that sometimes it's quite a nightmare! I love pre-war apartments and how quirky they can be. :) Good luck!
And this is what it means when they say ... not everyone starts adult life on a level playing field !!!! imagine a life where your HOUSING is given to you!!! (housing like this!! not a tent trailer from the 70’s😏) and especially during this horrific housing crisis. where most young adults spend 75% plus of their income on housing/rent. After paying insurance, transportation, phone bills etc nothing is left for food and of course any kind of clothing, entertainment,traveling and needless to say .. there’s no money to do any kind of renovations!! So as of now .. this is who is thriving ..people with $$$, people with generational wealth etc. where the rest of the population are struggling to afford to exist only. This is in no way ...LIVING!! This has nothing to do with this creator. just an example of how others live. I truly wish EVERYONE could be so privileged 😊❤️
I found her FAQ on her website! She does not own, it a rent-stabilized apt. with her name on the lease, and she does not expect she will ever move out unless the owners of the building sell the whole building!
"...previous renter..." I'm confused, do you own this apartment or not? I understand that generations take over apartments due to rent control, but wouldn't you be limited in the changes you can make?
I love how you’re trying to restore some of the character into the apartment again, but add some modern touches
I’m always on team restore but yes, the kitchen was pitiful! Gotta draw the line somewhere! Thank you ❤

Thank you for doing opposite of what builders do.knocking down original walls.etc to make it ' modern'.so refreshing to see you
I will never have the opportunity to do what you're doing, so I am totally invested in your series ❤
The apt is so beautiful!! Historic buildings are my favorite 😍
What a great house! good luck in all your efforts
As a fellow New Yorker, I can tell all of you right now a pre-wore apartment that looks like that is amazing sauce. OK it’s just unheard of.
Pre war* :) sorry for grammar police
@@CoolV3gan *pre-war
@@MsRosieA that’s the one ☝️
@@CoolV3gan You don't know. Maybe the apartment has never been worn! lol
Stunning work! Can’t wait to see the finished makeover.

I would love your kitchen as it is to begin with

Now I just need to figure out how I’m gonna live without that closet 😅 yes, going to be worth it for the natural light the pantry will get now!
@@HattieKolp oh I know it’s a challenge but I’m sure you’ll come up with something amazing.
This is going to be fabulous!
This is amazing!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see what you do!
Enjoying this tremendously. Thanks. ❤
I am so excited to follow along on this reno! You have done such an amazing job with all that you've done with your beautiful apartment!!!
@@monicahayden51 thank you so much!

Love those old places with all the character❤❤. And, please do, work on getting that butler 😊
Love your renovations, so fascinating to watch. I was curious do you have a floor plan you could post? Thanks💜💜
I loved that wallpaper!

Hate to lose that gorgeous Art Nouveau wallpaper!!! I was hoping that was something you were adding!!!!
Love that you’re sharing this because my parents also have home that is older and I would love to do this if I got the chance

and that wallpaper was so cool
I loved it with the black and white harlequin floor.
Love it all. Sooo inspiring and you’re very artistic and clever!
I love your taste!! stunning.
Wow it looked nice before but can't wait for the new look!
Oh my 😮 so much work but already looks promising 😍
Please keep updating. I'm an interior designer and I like this.
I admire your vision everytime I come across your short videos. Had to subscribe today!
Oh, I've always wanted a butler's pantry ever since I knew what a butler's pantry was. 😢
Love!❤
I am a curator in primarily German and French museum furniture
This team starting with the young, lady is amazing obviously
Hated to see the little penny tiles demolished.
They're prolly only like from the 1950's so no great loss. Also, can easily be replaced as all the rage now - HDepot, Lowe's, etc.
@@L.Fontein7They were older than 1950's ...such a shame..why demolish just to replace possibly ..what a waste..it's all love ly .but ...too bad😢
It hurt my heart!
@@karenhill3970 She said the kitchen was renovated by the previous tenant. So they're not that old!
Absolutely beautiful. Well done, you should be very proud of yourself. God bless 😊
I'm loving this! Wish you had full videos to see the entire process.
@@Makeupbylinaslays thank you!
Please post a FULL tour. Would love to see a long video
Sending love from Bangladesh ❤
Luv this reno
Thank you!
So much fun to know that is the home you grew up in. Have fun fixing it up.
You should go to A family treasure in NJ the have a lot of cool vintage stuff ❤
Nice.. renovation work .. always good therapy.. ❤😊
Love your place! Love the style.
How exciting. I love you apartment so much ❤
Amazing 🎉

I lived in Manhattan for 10 years. How the heck did you get a building permit to do a gut renovation? It takes forever...

The penny tiles!!! 🫣😭

Great choice.
Wow 😅🎉😂❤ love it

The window is what makes it charming
Would love to see you replace the window in that door. I have a door just like that and need to replace the window but have no idea where to even begin. 😬
I just found your account. LOVE IT!!
I would remove the door and just leave it as an open entryway, it will create more open space.
Loving that wallpaper tho!
I've seen this apartment on TikTok. Amazing work done so far! What do your parents think about the work you've already done? I would be blown away!!
Why would anyone close off usable space like that?! It's going to be so neat!
To make a closet! Thank you!
@@HattieKolp Ohh, I missed that part. Sorry!
You rock girl...❤
we just did my husband's childhood home!
Magnificent! 😎
The only thing I'll be missing is the butler. I'll work on that. 😂
so cool!
Love pre-war buildings. I grew up up in one too
È bellissima ciao dall'Italia❤

I can't believe you destroyed that beautiful old octagonal floor tile. 😩
I know... I'm old. 🤷

@@HattieKolp then mosaic does accommodate uneven better than larger format tile...
@@ValeriaVincentSancisi so you want my joists to get leveled and the new subfloor to be laid without demolishing the tile? Very innovative!
Do you have to get work permits and all that to do a reno there in NY?
Gotta say, I love the original kitchen.
Marry that guy already.
Nooo...dont change the glass 😢its perfect
Please be careful I did marble floors. They get slippery when wet. I took mine out.
The butlers pantry looks at least twice the size of the kitchen.
It looks fantastic! Do you have a lot of rules and regulations that you have to follow because it's a pre-war building? I've heard that sometimes it's quite a nightmare! I love pre-war apartments and how quirky they can be. :) Good luck!
I’m new here and I was just wondering do u own this apartment or are you renting ??
Butlers pantry in NYC??
Girl that’s rich right there!!! 😂
The title is giving Arconia vibes.
It's lovely..but cannot believe you destroyed the hexagonal tile ...it's very unique.....those tiles😞
@@karenhill3970 I wouldn’t never demo anything that wasn’t beyond repair. Needed to dig up both the tiles and the subfloor to replace the joists
It's a shame the original flooring was ruined and the window has to go.
I am a New Yorker and it’s very normal to live in apartments your whole life for anyone curious.
The world's tiniest kitchen
Do you have a diagram of your planned renovation?
Nice, but a shame to lose that vintage hex tile. I'd have kept that if I could.

but you smashed the original unglazed hex tile...:{
But now there is two doors from
Kitchen to the dinning? I would keep the closets
@@MariCristy no just one
In NYC are these true apartments, as in they’re rented, not owned by the occupants? Just curious.
Just discovered your page! This is going to be so fun to follow along with! Do you own this space?
I found her FAQ on her website! She does not
own, it a rent-stabilized apt. with her name on the lease, and she does not expect she will ever move out unless the owners of the building sell the whole building!
@@jessicasamantha.Thank you!
👍
"...previous renter..."
I'm confused, do you own this apartment or not? I understand that generations take over apartments due to rent control, but wouldn't you be limited in the changes you can make?
Rent or own?
Dinning room in 2024
I’m thinking your man will be your butler…maybe…on your birthday! 😂
So you coffee bar is gone?
Omg don’t change your butler pantry it looked so much the era
She clearly cannot handle difference of opinion, lol!!
