      It’s great, but they over charge ppl for a closet and get away with fleecing ppl to live with far less. That is someone’s closet in a house, or just the baby’s room. Soon ppl will be sleeping standing in a 200 sq. ft. studio like sardines. It amazes me what landlords r getting away with and consider is ok, and get rich on forcing ppl to downsize to closet size apartment.

    Your talent as a designer is beyond amazing. You have great taste and you have a mastery for making small spaces not just look larger, but making them comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable. Placing the dresser in the kitchen "hallway" is a genius idea. It gives you storage, it separates the kitchen from the other areas and it creates an interesting focal point. The entire apartment is luxurious but inviting.
    If you ever decide to share your home with another person, make sure it is someone who (besides loving & respecting you) understands, appreciates and shares your passion for maintaining a clean, beautiful and organized home. 🧡

Kirsten is extremely lucky as space is a luxury in NYC, a luxury usually only afforded to the very rich.

Would make made sense to convert to walk-in tubs w/showers- older ppl need to soak in tubs as they age plus those with Dementia develop an aversionto showers. A physical/sensation & psychological/regressive response.
