Russell Frederick set out to document the "sweet things" about Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.

Pictures from Sit-Read.com's Launch Party

On Friday night Bedstuy Modern joined a couple of friends in Williamsburg for Sit-Read.com's launch party. The event was held inside of Strawser & Smith on Driggs Avenue.  Here are a few of our favorite pieces.  Any drooling as a result of the flyness of the furniture, quickly vanished at the site of the price tags. One of our friends suggested we just rent a Uhaul, take a trip to a thrift store in Jersey, and load up. In all honestly though, we'll be back. I don't mind skipping a few meals for this first piece.
