There is nothing Kiki loves better than a Capitol Hill row house with good bones and traditional lines and accents. Will be standing by on the UES to see how this evolves.Kiki of NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637211875874002307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-77980331065601943072010-09-13T07:30:25.017-04:002010-09-13T07:30:25.017-04:00Reggie-Civility is a wonderful standard as well.Reggie-Civility is a wonderful standard as well.Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-25542929451977950662010-09-13T06:03:12.900-04:002010-09-13T06:03:12.900-04:00Reggie is nurturing his wounds, for he has been ca...Reggie is nurturing his wounds, for he has been called up for hoisting his petard.

I had something exciting happen to me that I know you will appreciate. I recieved an email from the artist Harrison Howard when he saw my shopping post on my blog where I referred readers to his wonderful work. I know that you are an admirer of his work, in fact you and Joni are the ones that introduced his work to me. Thank you for that, I hope to own at least a Giclee of his work someday. Just wanted to share, I am so thrilled, KathysueKathysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272239664279235716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-53704841435199372142010-09-10T13:43:23.835-04:002010-09-10T13:43:23.835-04:00Owner of said row house lives in the 21st century,...Owner of said row house lives in the 21st century, therefore while appreciating the features of the 19th century period, she feels the best way to respect old and new is to marry them together. Owner wouldn't dare plaster over the character of the home any sooner than she would disconnect the electricity that also brought the home into this modern day. She wouldn't care for that one speck.

If your writer lives in a Capitol Hill row house, odds are that it was built in the 19th century. And no 19th century builder (or resident) of a house would ever have allowed the walls to be left exposed brick. They would have been plastered. Reggie doesn't understand the mania for exposed brick, in fact he doesn't care for it one whit, except in industrial buildings, lofts, or restaurants, which is where it belongs in his view. Absent plastering the brick, Reggie would at least paint it.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.com
