Brownstoner ventures outside its usual Brooklyn bounds with a new renovation blog, focusing on a row house in Astoria. The 2,400-square-foot, two-family, Tudor-style-facaded house is "a pretty face with nothing behind it," in the (loving, we're sure) words of its new owners. Among other things, they'll be moving the rental apartment downstairs, increasing access to the backyard, opening up little rooms, and trying to make the interior not so bland. ['Stoner]
