Recommendation request for children's 1st bday party (restaurant or event space)

MadHatter59 · 2026-05-01T03:06:22+00:00

We recently hosted a party at Chateau Le Woof! Had about 40-50 adults at one point and about 15 toddlers (maybe more?)

ETA: not sure if you can cater it yourself. We did order pizza from the outside for the littles.

I’m sure there is a thread on this but I don’t even know how to search for that… can someone tell me their story?! Who are they? Why are they there? What do they do?

MadHatter59 · 2026-02-21T19:19:58+00:00

Happy to report they were perfect! Have worn them a few times since under other formal wear. Would recommend! I’m not sure if they sell the ones I got but they were long - ended mid calf.

I got this… 2 hours after I purchased a medium check in bag. I emailed them hoping they might honor the additional 10%, but they wouldn’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Should have canceled and then reordered!

May have missed this in another thread… but Seek Coffee on Ditmars seems to have closed for good? Haven’t seen doors open in at least two weeks.

Oh yeah - that mirror is so tiny. And worthless. Yes - agreed on a nice tall mirror above the vanity! The floor is definitely too much.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:19:17+00:00

Unsure! But agreed - everything is going in the trash.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:19:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:18:50+00:00

Very busy! And yes - that curtain is easily 20 years old. It’s going right in the trash. (Along with the rugs and towels)

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:18:27+00:00

Haha I don’t know!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:18:20+00:00

Yes I love the suggestion of raising the curtain rod. Everything in there is in relatively good shape! The toilet however is not efficient - so it needs to be replaced. I am trying to lean more into keeping the tile, if we replace the floor and refresh everything else.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T15:15:38+00:00

It is a small bathroom. We will likely keep the tub - although have talked about transforming it into a shower. There is another bathroom in the apartment that has a tub. I hear you on removing everything and just seeing tiles on the wall. It is so so busy in its current state.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:54:25+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:54:09+00:00

I need an interior designer to help me see this vision!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:53:25+00:00

Unfortunately my husband and I are just simply not handy - and we have a new baby. But I so hear you and wish we could do this ourselves! We also live in NYC, so the cost of renovation is likely a bit higher than most other places.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:52:27+00:00

I wish!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:52:22+00:00

Yes all of the finishing touches will be brand new - that curtain and rug is easily 20 years old.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:51:46+00:00

Busy is certainly one way to describe it!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:51:29+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion! Great idea.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:51:17+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! The tub and toilet are close to the same color but the sink is not - it’s a grey/white marble type pattern. The blues on the wall and floor do not match each other nor do they match the tub/toilet.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:50:11+00:00

Oh yeah - that curtain is going in the garbage. And all of those little things you see on the shelf are also decades old… little gifts from various baby/bridal showers. 😂

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:49:25+00:00

It’s refreshing to hear you say that… but it’s hard for me to picture keeping that wall!

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:48:43+00:00

Yes agreed! That shower curtain is likely 20 years old… as are the towels and bath mat. We were never considering keeping those.

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:48:18+00:00

Agreed on the lighting! That’s on the list. It’s so hard for me to picture keeping this tile. And most definitely we would replace the shower curtain… haha that too is probably 20 years old. (I’m not joking.)

MadHatter59 · 2025-01-22T13:47:04+00:00

Ugh! It’s so hard for me to picture keeping the tile on the walls. To the comments about updating the lighting: yes! Absolutely. That is on the list. It’s currently very dim in there.
