Birthday Countdown Wish List | A House in the City

{A traipse around the West Village on a day I was sure winter had broken and spring had waltzed in, Nat and I discovered the most lovely, and I must say intriguing front door with the most delightful address- 875 1/2 Bank Street.  Whimsy in the West Village- enough to deem love at first sight and then and there it was decided...one day I shall live here}

I'm not quite wishing for a house in the city, well yes one day, but mainly just the book titled Restoring a House in the City to prepare for that, dare I say, said "one day." Some people dream of a sprawling multi-acre farm or prime waterfront property, but I dream of...

...nostalgic, tree-lined cobblestone streets and quiet neighborhoods secretly tucked away in the biggest cities on earth. I dream of renovated Brooklyn brownstones the perfect mix of neo and "trad..."

and pre-war treasures overflowing with character from ceiling medallions to chandeliers in the heart of Greenwich Village. If only my feet would one day find those antique wood floors, I promise I would never hear the creaking and squeaking. 

I'm certainly aware that all of the above comes with "unless I win the lottery price tags" so I will settle for the book since it is after all chock full of my hopes and dreams :)
