NY Home Improvement Blog Patrol
The Real World Brooklyn Cast...Which One Will Cry First?Anyone looking to do a little maintenance on their kitchen cabinets should go check out the newest video on Danny Lipford's site called Kitchen Cabinet Upgrade. You may know Lipford from his television appearances as a home improvement maven, but his website is equally interesting and informative. Here, he shows you how to repaint the cabinets and change the knobs, hinges or doors. For professional help with kitchen cabinets in New York, click Kitchen Remodelers in NY or Cabinetry in NY.
Are we really ready for a third installment of The Real World here in New York? Like it or not, last night was the premiere on MTV. Brownstoner's gave their Brooklynites a head's up, and right on cue, the snarking was hot and heavy on the comment board. If you live in Brooklyn, we're betting you'll be watching, if only to see some of your favorite BK landmarks serve as background for the travails of some of the most vain and insipid people ever put on television. Boy, are the Williamsburg hipsters gonna hate this!

It's Official, Belltel Lofts will be hosting the Brooklyn Real World
It's official, The New York Daily News is reporting that the Belltel Lofts in Boerum Hill will be hosting the next 7 inmates for The Real World Brooklyn in a 6000 square foot duplex.In true New York fashion, this will be the smallest residence the show has ever taken place in, but maybe the most expensive, with a price tag of $6 million. This figure may go higher after airing, similar to the rates for the Real World Suite at the Las Vegas Palms Hotel and Casino.
Personally, I'd ask for a discount, not a premium, for buying any residence that housed what's about to go down this season. BTW, they will also have the obligatory jacuzzi, which upon purchase, would have to be torn out and possibly nuked somewhere in the Nevada desert.
Congrats to owner David Bristricer. As P.T. Barnum famously said, "There's No Such Thing as Bad Press." Which may be apropos of this particular circus coming to town, considering the fact that he beat out over 20 other Brooklyn properties to get the show to the Belltel Lofts.
Unconfirmed still is the rumor of San Francisco's Puck as the ornery, yet lovable doorman...stay tuned.
