Let them raise eyebrows!

Sooner than you can say, "Why, oh, why did someone remake The Stepford Wives?" Laura in Apt 11D will be posting from her home in the suburbs. (See our entry "Urban flight" to which Laura affably parried, " Mental Multivitamin has no problem with her three kids in Chicago. Well, Chicago ain't New York City. Try finding a space big enough for a minivan in NYC and then parallel park. And there are no apartments with backyards in Manhattan. Perhaps a roof garden, if you're Donald Trump. Try finding an affordable apartment in the Lower East Side.")

Tonight Laura writes that her plans to turn the diningroom of her new home into a library are being met with raised eyebrows. Here's hoping that this response will give her more solace than "Urban flight" did.

Laura, let them raise eyebrows! Yours is a most excellent plan.

We've been doing it for two decades. Here's our latest if not complete than certainly comfortable transformation.
