Lindsay Hubbard is now “stuck” with a grand piano she never wanted. The Summer House cast member explained the situation via Instagram on Sunday (June 1), more than two weeks after moving into her new NYC apartment.
Lindsay began filming a portion of her living room, saying she wanted a designated play space for her daughter, Gemma Britt Kufe. The new mom said she intended to decorate the area with House of Noa furniture pieces, but had to put those plans on pause because of the aforementioned instrument had taken up too much space.
Lindsay Hubbard says there was a “misunderstanding” with her new home
“OK, so the piano,” Lindsay said with a sigh. “If you remember, the piano was there and we moved it to the foyer because I’m trying to create Gemma’s little play area. You know what? I’m gonna show you the ‘before’ and how much the piano is taking over.”
Lindsay shared footage of the Steinway & Sons piano in front of the built-in shelving units. As shown in the Story, the piece covered a large portion of the room, which made it difficult for Lindsay to finish setting up Gemma’s play area.
“This has been an ongoing drama, and I will spare you every detail…” she wrote. “But basically there was a misunderstanding where the owner’s real estate broker thought I wanted to keep the piano (not sure why since we literally never talked about this piano ever, and the apt was listed as unfurnished)… but now I’m stuck with this massive grand piano until the owner can either sell it or store it somewhere else…”
Lindsay Hubbard shares a look at her baby girl’s living room
It’s unclear how long Lindsay will have to live with the piano, but she confirmed it was moved to near the unit’s entrance in the meantime. She has since been able to arrange Gemma’s mini living room, which featured a set of white-and-pink striped play couches, decorative pillows, two ottomans, and an area rug.
“Gemma’s living room!” she captioned a photo.
Although the play area looked great, it wasn’t exactly how Lindsay envisioned it. Why? Well, the space had a TV that the previous owners also left behind.
“They asked me not to disconnect it because apparently it was too difficult to connect the wires)…” Lindsay explained, “so I turned MY living room to face the other direction.”
Despite the piano “drama,” Lindsay’s home move appears to be going quite well. The Hamptons Housemate has shared regular updates on the process, revealing several peeks at her and Gemma’s bedrooms, her newly painted kitchen, and meticulously organized closets.
Why did Lindsay Hubbard leave her old apartment?
Lindsay said goodbye to her previous NYC home back in May, about five months after she and her boyfriend, Turner Kufe, welcomed their daughter. Lindsay said she loved her old home but felt it was time for a “fresh start.”
“I am apartment hunting for apartments downtown,” she told The Daily Dish in March. “I love my current apartment, but it’s seen me through a lot of changes… I have to start making friends for [Gemma] and eventually put her in school. So that’s the goal. Right now, the location is the most important for Gemma and what is best for her.”
