When I decided this would be my first photo recreation, I contacted my uncle, Eliot Goldfinger, the only man for the job. Eliot is a genius on a lot of levels.

So I called him and described what I wanted to do. He sounded excited but I had no idea the lengths he would go to. When I drove to his house in New Rochelle, he showed me how he had recreated my childhood kitchen in his basement by replacing door handles, rearranging furniture and laying down new tile.
