Lazy Sunday

Aside from Mugatu's, I think this might be my fave townhouse in New York:


Doesn't it look like Bunny Mellon's after an occupation by these ladies?


It was cold and overcast today, so after a trip to the Brooklyn flea (where I resisted purchasing a Brutalist mirror depicting all twelve signs of the zodiac) I drifted all the way down State Street and waited for a tenant with a grey pony tail and a hot red hoodie to finish taking out her trash before I snapped this shot.

I don't know if the teal shutters and Crayola blue door were an intended mismatch, but I love. LOVE.

  4. Love this, and the Brooklyn flea, that bank building is just too beautiful, although the crowdedness kind of gave me spasms

  5. Isn't that the Virgin Mary watching you from the townhouse window to the left, second floor?

  6. I kind of wish the tenant was in the pic... always curious to see who lives in the buildings I love! Especially if the tenant and building look alike, like people do with their dogs sometimes.

    Just re-watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and remembered how gorgeous that building is... I posted it here:

  10. Beautiful, but then "any little rat-- Any little rat's nest in New York, any little mouse hole, any little rat hole, even on Tenth Avenue" I would take.

  11. Awesome that Jason can quote Little Edie so perfectly on point. (According to this month's Vanity Fair, Little Edie lived in the Barbizon for five years before being summoned back to GG.)
