Touring a prewar upper west side apartment

We got to tour Hattie Kolp’s prewar Upper West Side apartment in the fifth episode of our series, Bagels with the Boys. Hattie grew up in this apartment and renovated it after her parents moved out of the city. From adding crown mouldings to painting the walls and restoring historic pocket doors, Hattie has brought back the charm and character to her apartment. While enjoying PopUp Bagels, we discuss how she became an interior designer, her experience as a content creator, and how her apartment renovation turned into a love story. Check out the full video on our YouTube.
