New Yorker Seinfeld used to joke that every time you paint your apartment, it gets a little bit smaller (New York apartments have a reputation for having being painted hundreds if not thousands of times, with fixtures and light switches often lost under latex and lead). Looks like it's somewhat true: while the paint chip above (photographed by Amy McKenzie) isn't from New York, it's got an estimated 150-200 layers of paint and is one centimeter thick, with her fingertip at bottom for scale. As we type this, our gaze is wandering over to our walls and wondering what's underneath there.
