Read excerpt
The first time I ever had a post go viral on Instagram was for stripping the paint off my brass door plates in my NYC apartment and for good reason- there is something so extremely gratifying about it. All that beauty, all that history, buried under several goopey layers of paint. Each layer a different color, all in agreement to just say “f**k it”.
