Diamonds, for some, are a girl’s best friend. Other luxe lovers dig designer finery.
But Kristi Hemric, a married Upper East Side mom of four, adores décor — and you sure can’t miss it.
With the façade of her five-story townhouse on 78th Street as her canvas, she artfully beautifies the building with faux flowers, spending hours (and a small fortune) on the lavish landscapes she dreams up in her head.
To toast the dawn of spring, the millennial covered the exterior of her crib, located between Second and Third avenues, in light pink tulips, peonies and bows, bidding the grayness of winter a cheery farewell. For Easter, crochet carrots, bunny rabbit busts and rosy roses took center stage on Hemric’s ever-changing, never boring stoop sensations.
Ahead of Mother’s Day, she hit the motherlode, adorning her doorpost in toy petals, much to the delight of tickled onlookers. Over 5 million digital fans gave the pretty playthings a virtual thumbs-up, too.
Her efflorescent embellishments are public displays of affection for a community she loves. And it comes with heaps of precious perks.
