The architect measures an outside door to a pantry that was once part of the kitchen.
Restoration Holleywood officially begins. The contractor, architect, decorator and I have our first meeting. We're wildly enthusiastic about the house, each passionate about preserving its historic integrity.
We make two thrilling discoveries:
1. Beneath acoustic ceiling tiles in the kitchen is painted wainscotting.
2. Hidden behind kitchen cabinetry is a door to a small pantry that's been closed off since the seller's parents redecorated in the 1970s. The decorator is particularly enthralled with the blue of the original paint, which still lingers. In the photo, the architect measures the outside door to the pantry. The door was put in when new cabinetry closed off kitchen access, which we mean to restore.

Discovering an extra room. Every New Yorker's dream.
