Before & After: A Series of Unfortunate Updates Are Reversed at This Brooklyn Brownstone

After Jake Hurwitz and Jillian Vogel bought their Brooklyn row house in 2020 and started a top-to-bottom remodel, the couple turned into foragers. "Alan from Demolition Depot was my best friend for a few months," says Jake, a comedian who’s name you might recognize from CollegeHumor. He and Jillian, who was a producer on 2022 movie Fire Island, would search for parts at the depot for their new-old home, built in 1910. "There were deep rabbit holes, like trying to find ceiling medallions that had the exact same pattern from the original in the basement. It was really fun."
