Three wood boards painted with faux windows, curtains, and an image of a dog looking out of each fake window.

It's hard to avoid construction in New York City these days, so we thought we would try to make the process a little more bearable for the neighbors and passersby of this Carroll Gardens project.

One Saturday afternoon was all it took to introduce a furry friend to the neighborhood, who kept watch over the project until the new windows arrived.
