It felt like a heck of a lot more work than getting contact lenses and replacing a messy braid with a chic bob haircut, but finally-the makeover was complete.

Sometime around the middle of the summer, things really began to change, though.Ĭhic and comfortable furniture replaced worn-to-death folding chairs. I learned… A lot.įor example, did you know? If you do not use a base, your beautiful 6-foot-wide bistro umbrella will, during a particularly windy storm, levitate out of its hole in the middle of an outdoor table, take flight over a 6-foot-high fence, and fling itself onto the roof of a dim sum restaurant four stories below? It’s true! Now, as with any good cinematic arc, the transformation has been a journey.

Have you ever wondered, “How can I turn the prison yard attached to my apartment into a paradise?” Well I have! That’s right-your girl has finally reached one of New York’s golden rings:īut when I moved in? It looked more like an elevated cage than a coveted patio space beckoning to host a sunset happy hour or cozy spring nightcap after a perfect third date.
