The front windows face onto a deep community garden across the street where you can commune with your neighbors and put your green thumb to good use. North – south exposures bring sunlight deep into all four floors of the house all day long. 650 Warren Street retains its classic 1860’s Italianate façade, but was fully rebuilt with a contemporary aesthetic inside. Here’s an opportunity to own a fully renovated 20-foot wide, 4-story brownstone in the middle of a quiet Park Slope block. The finish on that cabinet is like buttah (that’s butter in Brooklyn).Here’s an opportunity to own a fully renovated 20-foot wide, 4-story brownstone in the middle of a quiet Park Slope block. We learned how hard it was to match the stain between the salvage pieces and the new lumber, and the many many many times it was sanded to get it just so. The following morning the truck was all loaded up and it was time to make the long drive back, but not before we met Dennis, the cabinet maker who made our cabinet using doors and drawers saved from a house in a neighborhood that was demolished after the devastating flood of 2008. The innkeepers, Warren and Sharon cooked up some of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a while or ever – and I’m one of those people who “worships at the church of brunch,” if you know what I mean. Who does that? (although now that I’ve experienced it, I think everyone should). I don’t have any photos because I was too busy eating a 3-course breakfast. The breakfast was crazy good – like insanely, ridiculous, absolutely bonkers good. The trip also included deep fried ravioli (don’t knock it till you try it) at Shale Creek Brewing, and a stay at the The Flying Frog Bed and Breakfast. There were people there from Germany and Puerto Rico. It was nearly sold out and we didn’t even win the contest of who traveled the farthest for the screening. On Friday night, we checked out the the movie. I mean, what are the odds? How does this happen? Also? Someone who couldn’t possibly be lovelier and made a point to come say hello while we were at the shop. Tons of gorgeous light fixtures too, many restored by Amy, the person behind #52WeeksOfHome. No matter, we got to the shop and the folks at the at Madison Street Salvage couldn’t be nicer. That means driving back in the (dis)comfort and full color smell-o-vision of the junkiest rental truck ever (because of course you’re not getting their best truck to drive it one-way to Brooklyn). From there, we rented a 12′ box truck (turns out you can’t rent a cargo van one way – because of course!). That’s it: Indiana, here we come!Ĭashing in on some frequent flier miles, we got ourselves to Indianapolis. A film I’ve never seen on the big screen. Not only that, but the first weekend we could make the trip, the Artcraft would be screening Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of the formative films from my childhood one that made we want to go into filmmaking. The shop, Madison Street Salvage, is a non-profit that supports the restoration of the Artcraft Theater, a historic 1922 Art Deco movie house. Wouldn’t you drive 12+ hours for this beauty? ![]()
