House Beautiful: The Googles of Park Slope

David Howell Design

Mr. and Mrs. G quietly moved in to their exhaustively rehabbed PPW manse, formerly haunted by Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany. They even handed out candy on Halloween and said I could show you the pictures on the condition that I never darken their doorstep respect their desire to fade into the proverbial woodwork from now on.

Here's a sneak peak at the house, designed by the firm David Howell Design. DH was very nice on email; from New Zealand; and willing to discuss The Piano and Whale Rider with me. The website makes you click around so go to residential and then townhouses and then Park Slope townhouse to get your virtual tour.

The photos had me drooling just a bit and wishing I'd bought Google stock when I had the chance. I'm so very glad they got rid of that black living room and restored the miles of beautiful woodwork.

Have fun, kids! I bet YOU guys didn't hire a Christmas tree decorator. At least I hope not.

See you around the hood.

Curbed Cup Scandal: STOP CHEATING, PPL

Ok, so apparently Allison's ploy to get people to vote for Park Slope a billion times in a row in the yearly Curbed Cup Best Neighborhood competish worked.

In the Park Slope v. Roosevelt Island head to head, Park Slope *appeared* to win by a landslide. Only when they looked into a bit, they realized we only won by a smidge cause everyone in both Park Slope AND Roosevelt Island is apparently a lying, cheating sack of shit.

Anyway, we're still in the game...but we gotta reel it in if we have any hope of winning this bitch for realzies.

Honesty is the best policy, ppl.
