Photo: Ralph Modica/Compass One Saturday morning in April of 2020, after about a month of full-time working from home with her husband and two kids , Niamh Sproul decided something had to change. On a whim, while her husband was out getting bagels, Niamh began transforming one of the bathrooms in her Williamsburg apartment into a private office.
She slid the desk in her bedroom onto a blanket and dragged it into the bathroom, where she positioned it over the toilet. This was a success , so she brought in a fake plant. Next came some photos, books, and candles . “I did think about what people would see on my Zoom background,” she says. Colleagues, though, thought she had gone to a hotel or moved; she only told a few people the truth. Sproul worked in there from “9 to 6 at least” for a good 12 months.
As it happens, the family is moving to California next month and will be dismantling the setup, which, per listing agent Ralph Modica, was “the showpiece” at recent viewings. A closer look the transformation . Left: Richard Caplan, Right: Ralph Modica/Compass. A closer look the transformation . Left: Richard Caplan, Right: Ralph Modica/Compass.

not the dookie desk
Whoa!
Wut
That’s weird, especially if they were on zoom calls.
Looks ridiculous
The Airstream Bambi has the toilet in the shower...
Great idea, especially in space deprived New York. New York as we know, though, is bricked and cornerstones on great ideas. Lucky us, eh?
What's that sound in the distance? Tumbrils?
“one of her bathrooms” tells us all we need to know
I’m impressed that anyone in any of the 5 boroughs has a bathroom to spare.
Can’t figure out if you lost me at “one of the bathrooms” or “Williamsburg.”
Great to have more than one bathroom.
In the Airstream 'Bambi' the toilet is in the shower...

On a whim

When you flush your toilet, even with the lid closed, ‘matter’ becomes aerosolized and disperses everywhere.
Good way to ruin a perfectly nice bathroom
Ok.

Tell me you live in New York without telling me you live in New York...
Didn’t realize there are apartments in NYC with more than one bathroom.

That would be the perfect setup for someone with IBS.
