A touching story of transformation and love, Karin’s journey from the busy streets of New York to the sunny atmosphere of Los Angeles is told.

She moved to America, loving the jazz, difficulties, and pleasures of New York life after leaving her birthplace of Germany in 1939.
She developed a wonderful and inspirational relationship with her daughter by raising her with a fiery love and dedication as a strong single mother.

Karin’s life narrative tells the tale of a family that became closer as a result of their common experiences and sacrifices, not merely geographical locations.

Over time, Karin fell in love once more and her relationship with Billy, her stepfather, demonstrates the kind of lasting bonds that can develop in later life.

Regretfully, Karin’s physical distance between her daughter’s family in Los Angeles and her own location in New York became an urgent concern following Billy’s death.

The answer? An amazing makeover of an outdated, disorganized garage into Karin’s warm and inviting home, demonstrating the limitless nature of love.

The project was large-scale, driven by the desire to create an incredibly comfortable living area out of the once-dusty garage full with memories.

Property values had skyrocketed, so Karin’s daughter and son-in-law made the decision to put money into this heartfelt project.
They sought the assistance of Pierre and Carmen, their next-door architects, who contributed their knowledge and inventiveness to the project, creating a room that was both practical and bright.
