The upstairs apartment is ready for us to move in. The hardwood floors have been cleaned, and the walls have all been freshly painted (unfortunately in a light toffee color to set off the white doorframes, but that can be remedied if necessary). My window offers a distant view of an old friend - the Empire State Building. (The view above is from the place I lived in Chelsea 2002-6, also a 4th floor apartment!) And the roof seems ready to be colonized with a deck and garden - though not before Spring...!
