Is there a landscape designer in town who specializes in rooftop gardening I have a patio that's about 30x14 and want to design a space to feel like I live on W 23rd street in Manhattan! I would think with all the lofts going up around the river there would be someone who has tapped this niche.

I love the beautiful north light in my loft. It's in an old building so there are heat ducts and pipes and cool stuff, but there is a floating floor (I chose cherry) which looks nice but I like old, cruddy floors. My cabinets are light maple. I wonder how I can make them look more 'vintage.' Should I stain them darker, paint them black?? I like place with integrity, this one is cool, but not what I would have picked had I seen it before purchase. Any ideas how to make my kitchen look more flea-market-find cool and less dull??
