Tilton Fenwick in the NYTimes article “Patterns to Make Dumbo Blush”

It’s here! Grab your copy of the NYTimes to see Anne’s DUMBO apartment – or check it out online: article / slideshow.  A special thank you to Tim McKeough, Trevor Tondro and Ryan Scherb, the outstanding writing and photography teams from the paper.  We had lots of fun working with all them over the past few months.

Above / Art and objects on the wall collected over time.  The large black and white photograph was a gift from Ryan’s best friend, Jeff Martin.  The photo depicts a football game between rival high school teams Northfield and Deerfield in 1965, where a fire of the building behind the field wasn’t enough to even pause play! Photo was taken by Robert S. Van Fleet, courtesy of Northfield Mount Herman School archives.

The patterned chairs which inspired the article’s title are 1970s vintage (we didn’t reupholster!) from 1stDibs@NYDC.
