You need your own TV show.
I wish!! Thank you!
Nice to see someone who gets how buildings work...too many videos focus purely on aesthetics. I live in NYC and know when things look good for the price - I need more specific information like this!
Well said! Thank you!!
I recently had some work done on my home... who knew you had to tell the flooring people that you expected them to put flooring all the way to the walls... they decided to not finish where they thought the built-ins would be installed in the closet... Only the built-ins are floating as it's a wet wall and I didn't want them to get wet in a flood.
Who knew you had to tell them you wanted all the baseboards caulked... not just the room where the discussion takes place.
Who knew you had to tell them that you expected that one coat of paint covers the the whole wall... not just the top of the texture, but the valleys as well! I could go on and on!
No wonder you have your special crews and stick to them... This contractor was recommended by the insurance company, so I expected good work. Boy was I disappointed. 💖🌵🌞😷
I love your cadence and ease! You are unafraid to be yourself -- you narrate with confidence and without overcooked passion.
Thank you! 😊
The "master' reference was actually an eye opener for me. Thank you.
Hey. yes.. seeing that in the listings and floor plans on the MLS system here.. . Most welcome!
The idea for lowering the ceiling in the master shower to keep the steam in is incredible!! My goodness Paula you think of everything. Great work!
Thank you!!! Learned that the hard way!!🤣🤣
Wow, I’m glad your back, I really appreciate your ideas and then see the fantastic results.
Thank you!!
floor outlet is a nice touch, and remembering to do it before you put the flooring back in
Yes.. that's critical!!
gender and power issues aside, you're the master of new york city apartment renovations paula.
Many many thanks!! I so appreciate that!!
Gender doesn't matter if you're damn good at what you do.
'a master suite with its own wing by design' before I've even seen it I'm sold
Thank you!!!
Love those magnet relay switches, Paula.....And, it's nice to see you. 😉⭐🏆
😊 thank you!!
Btw, I don't know why you dropped from my algorithm. I thought you were sick, so I thought I'd check your channel. I was so relieved that you are safe and well. Lots of love xxx I've missed your wonderful transformations!!
Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed the explanation around the central air system and how it works.
Glad to hear it! Thanks Craig!!
Thank you for the floor plan on the first video! It really helped to see the transformation. I also really liked the street view. Nice to see a new video!
Sure! I think it is helpful and glad you liked it.. yeah I had to add the street... was perfect for this one. Thanks!
I love every apartment you do you are truly talented
Hey.. thanks so much!!!
@@pmddllc you’re welcome 😊😊
Incredible work. You are absolutely the best. Thank You for sharing such an amazing project.
You should have 100 thou+ subs, actually make that 1 mil+ subs. Such a pro, enjoy every moment you share.
Hey Thank you so much!! I wish!! As a small business.. it's always a struggle to stay in business!! Esp now during the Pandemic.. everything has changed and new business completely fell off for the past 9 months...hope we can turn the corner.. ❤️🤗
Thank you for sharing Paula, you’re stunning as usual.
Thank you too!!
Great to see another video from you after what must have been a difficult year due to COVID!
Yes it was! Thanks so much!!
Wow! Amazing transformation! I love your work! Bravo to you fabulous lady!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent work as always, Paula.
Awww.. thank you so much!!
I am always just in awe of your expertise, love watching your videos, could watch one everyday. X
Wow, thank you!
A foyer! An apartment transformed into a home! With this generous entry and powder room you have recaptured the prewar architectural spirit. I would give Ms. McDonald carte blanche on any project -the "client" is unable to make the best choices.
I know.. it's so nice to be able to have the space to do this!!! thanks!
@@pmddllc
The flow of an apartment needs to capture that Stendahl awe!!!
You are the Goddess of renovation Paula. Every project you do turns so beautiful❤️💕
Sorry so late in reply.. COVID got the best of me..at times.. but happy to hear this.. thank yoU!
Beautiful! And that herringbone floor! 😍
Thank you!! 😊
So happy to see a new project! Beautiful.
Thank you!
Love your videos Paula! Always enjoy seeing a new project! Stay safe and healthy this holiday season!
Thank you!
I love that you addressed the change from master bedroom to primary bedroom
Hey.. Thank you!!
It only changed in the minds of those who play identity politics. If PM chooses to sully her content with this nonsense, it's her business....but virtue signaling is NOT a virtue.
@@albinosquirlz times are changing. Let people give bedrooms new names if they think it’s the right thing to do
@@MikeA1 except it sounded like she was just appeasing the mob, rather than honestly buying into such a stupid narrative.
This is quite a place! So much room and with your expertise it will definitely be a show stopper. I am, however, a bit amazed that people are still rehabbing, fixing up, etc., etc., while many New Yorkers are scrambling out of the city. Hope all is well with you!
The City is actually safer then most places because we are so manic about wearing masks I and taking precautions.. evident in the stats... but the the City was already a soft market in renovations declining since 2016 which was a peak in real estate market. Actually seeing activity for purchases above $3MIL but not impacting me for new projects.. People definitely buying at low end too..from brokers I know. I think the City appeals to a specific lifestyle.. and most that can afford to renovate and buy here probably have a home away or retreat outside of the city.. Wish I could!!! hahaha!! I cannot!
Stunning.
Thank you!!!
Great work! Very interesting to see the technical challenges which you must overcome to have this beautiful and functional outcome.
thanks so much!
Frick! You’re fabulous!
Thank you!
Love seeing that street view! That apartment looks stunning.. I applaud you for tackling such a challenging project.. You’re definitely a master of this craft. 👏
I’m kindda laughing & shaking my head about the “PRIMARY” vs “MASTER”BEDROOM argument. People have gone overly sensitive nowadays & how every single damn thing has got to be politically correct. 🤪✌️
Hey thank you so much and it really was challenging! So proud of this one!! between COVID and everything else, it's a huge accomplishment!!
It’s not politically correct, things just change
Pretty good job! I love the ceilings, but people are moving out of NYC because of the density and overpriced real estate.
Beautiful work, Paula - as usual. And - I didn't know you could sound proof the wall to keep the neighbor noise out. Can someone come to my place and do that?
Haha! Yes, it's really great.. no more hearing your neighbor's every conversation!! or music/tv!
I love the hexagon tile in the bathroom! I was looking at that same tile a couple of weeks ago!
Thanks.. me too!!
Just gorgeous! I love your tours of these apartments. So blue-chip.
How high are the ceilings? I’m amazed you were able to maintain the height even after having to add ductwork into them. ❤️
Thanks.. Over 9 feet.. yep was a challenge!
Love this!
And loved how you showed the boiler thing etc
Thanks Sharon!
Yeah she’s back love watching her videos 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!! ❤️
perhaps someday we can change the entire English language and put every word and phrase under a microscope so that not one person is offended! but I doubt it. ;) you're nothing but class, Paula, thanks for the WONDERFUL vidoes of your work!!! :)
Thank you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exquisite work as usual Paula... Abrazos
Thanks so much!! 😍😍
I had no idea the term “master bedroom” was suddenly politically incorrect. Since that was long after slavery ended, the term was a reflection of the word being used to reflect the status of the owner of the house, who was male and the home’s “master.” Here’s an article that says it was first used by Sears, in a catalogue for a 1926 kit house. www.trelora.com/blog/master-bedroom-origin/
Hi there, thanks for sending this! Yep..its evidently changing terminology in software development too which uses same terms.. for I guess code relationships .. that sound byte from a new younger client..here.
Hello how are you doing today..
Another fantastic rebuild by Paula! The shower in the "Primary" bathroom is my ultimate must have. I was wondering if the faucet could have been placed closer to the entrance, avoiding getting drenched with cold water?
I've seen real estate listings also use the term "Owner's suite" in lieu of using master bedroom/bath.
Hi.. there was a structural column on that wall so we could not..but it's a thermostatic shower body so it's not cold.. set temp.
You educated us on master vs primary... then you called it a master closet 10:20?. Lol! I don't think I'll be able to adjust to the new lingo since my house has two master suites... how do you have two primary bedrooms? When the definition of primary is singular? ❤🌅🌵😷
@Suzi Saint James PRIMARY does not mean singular.. it means main or first in order. Stop overcomplicating it.
Sorry it was 10:15. ❤🌅🌵😷
Sorry, you didn't get my humor, but if you are going to nit pick... How do you have two "main" or two "first in order" suites? Both suites have a huge sleeping space, huge walkin closets and very nice full bathrooms. According to your definition which one is the main suite? Sending lots of Christmas love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵. 😷.
@@suzisaintjames not interested in your apologies or conjecture lady. You can have two "primary" sized rooms.
Political correctness gone mad
How much is the area?
Hi Paula, thank you for that tidbit on "master" bedroom... I need to cut that term out of my vocabulary
Thanks!!!
Grandma is selling a New York Apartment?
Why is she in every frame? I like to space without her always in the middle.
Just use "Main Bedroom" if you have too. But everyone is still saying "Master." Primary is dumb and will die soon.
Never, never associated "master bathroom" in a slavery context. PC gone absolutely mad!!!
I know.. but, onward!! thanks!
I don't think anyone will change from calling it the master bedroom. It is, after all for the master of the house. Before it's changed due to the racial inference, it should have been changed for the gender inference, surely? It's nuts.
Also, I really don't think any person of colour would be that bothered.
The Dakota.... uploaded on the 40th anniversary of John Lennon's murder... ummm?
Total coincidence.. but so nice to post this!!
@@pmddllc actually... it's nice to see a new beginning .... as always, beautiful work.
Lots of money spent. but still dated.
