Marco Pasanella and Rebecca Robertson's Loft

We love Marco Pasanella and Rebecca Robertson's Manhattan loft featured in a recent issue of Martha Stewart Living. The couple live in the converted 1839 warehouse with their son. A few things we love...

The open floorplan of the loft, once used for shipbuilding, could translate to alienating, too-big spaces. Instead, though, Pasanella and Robertson have created "rooms" that feel distinct and inviting while retaining the warehouse's original loftiness. Case in point: both the kitchen shown up top and the living area above are exposed to one big loft space. But elements like the cabinetry, drapes, and rugs make each "room" its own. This home is certainly a lesson in defining spaces with tools other than walls!

See Apartment Therapy's take on the loft's bedroom here and our take on Pasanella's book, Living in Style Without Losing Your Mind.

I love those library ladders! I suppose with those shelves you really would need that! The wooden beams are gorgeous, I love how they look against the white, it really breaks it up and gives it a nice balance. Where is that rug from?

That is a great-looking kitchen, but perhaps not the most practical. I worry about the super-high shelving, breakable items, and that skinny little ladder. Seems like a two-person job to get anything down from the upper shelves!

cute place!

Great. Now my paperwork is covered in drool.
