I live in Queens and had almost given up the idea of buying a home and still being anywhere near New York City. I have a million questions but I'll keep it to a few. From what I have found online about Newburgh it looks like new businesses are starting to open, does it seem like it is really starting to turn around? Do you feel safe there? Is it difficult to be a non-driver there (I too have never learned to drive). Is the commute to NYC really not that bad? I hope you don't mind me peppering you with questions but I was really excited to see what a beautiful house you were able to buy.

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered before but I have only become "acquainted" with you in the past month - since the (dare I say?..) Homie contest. I wouldn't know where to begin to repair a window! Of course, there is the web and Home Depot, Tru Value, etc., but I'm wondering if you grew up in a with contracters? I'm very impressed with your house but it makes me a little tired to look at the before-and-afters! BTW, I have two Chiahoos and they rock!! Little Dogs Rule!!

That's such a cute name. :) <b>puck:</b> Our "fireplaces" are not wood-burning (as is the case with many attached row house). This one is really just a decorative mantel in front of a chimney, with a recessed area for a gas or Franklin stove. It's not visible in these photos, but there's a gas supply line on the bottom right side. We don't have a stove connected now, but maybe someday! The other mantels in the house are over heat registers/chimneys (the house has 3 chimneys). Until steam heat and cast iron radiators were installed in this house (probably in the late 1800's), the house would have been heated with a coal furnace in the basement. The heat registers functioned just like the ones new houses have today, but those crazy Victorians loved to build decorative mantels around anything that gave off heat. :) Victoria: I’d love to see a photo of Coconut!

I've just done a tad bit of research on the bichon/chichuahua and it has answered so many questions. Coconut totally does the Bichon blitz thing and walks forever on her hind legs. I just thought it was her! Well besides all the other decorating/inspiring service you provide, you've ended the mystery for one doggy family! Thank you. Coconut also weighs 10 lbs and could be Bruno's twin. Seriously. Thank you so much Anna for answering my question.
