Better bathrooms, more art, and how about a whole other apartment. Five New Yorkers share their home improvement fantasies!
- New tileI hate the tile in my bathroom it’s ugly and pink and old. I rent from somebody my family knows, so my dad has communicated to my landlord that we’d help with the labor if they provide the materials. I think it may happen this summer. If it happens I’ll be happy to get new tile, but now I’ve got to help with the work. -Ana, Bushwick
- Livelier wallsI’d love to have more things on the walls: built-in shelves to display some things I’ve collected, and definitely more art. I love large-scale photography. I’d love to have one piece so large it covers an entire wall! And of course gallery lighting as well! - Len, Inwood
- Drain helpAt this point, all I want is for them fix the damn drain. I feel ickier coming out of the shower than I do before I get in. -Lisa, Bronx
- A place for plants and partiesI love everything about my space, I get lots of light even though my room is so small. But, I wish I could have a little outdoor herb garden outside my window, especially now that it’s summer. I miss my garden at my parent’s house. Having a little bit of green makes such a difference. While we’re at it, I’d really love a balcony for planting -- and parties! -Bethany, Morningside Heights
- Another apartmentThe apartment beneath us is for sale. I wish I could buy it and make a duplex! I’d add a home office with a separate entrance and a laundry room and a room for watching movies. -Henrick, Upper West Side
