For our second Home Style feature, we visited Amy Helfand at home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We hung out and took pics inside her amazing row house and then headed out for lunch at Fort Defiance around the corner on Van Brunt Street. It was a magical morning, visiting this quiet hamlet tucked into NYC. Head below the jump to find out Amy's favorite things and her annotated home style.

I'm loving that headboard but I'm loving Amy's curls even more.
Amy from one curly girl to another, what products do you use on your hair?

I gotta go with the bright colors on white, and although I can't see the entire sofa I love it's comfy vibe. Extra triple bonus points for featuring your pup - what a dear.

I love the kitchen tiles. Could we see more? Does Lubna have a web site? Yes, the dog looks like a loving, gentle creatures.

Found Lubna and she seems to deal in English pounds. Does this mean she sells only in England?

ciscogirl1 it says on her website that she does international orders and accepts Paypal. Try emailing her directly as their is a link. Hope that helps.

I have been to San Miguel de Allende... how did I miss this place, Casamidy?? Must make another trip and stay at their hotel...looks fabulous. Now Apt. Therapy is in the travel business. Great!

I have to have that headboard.

I like the scalloped edge painted on her bedroom wall. This is a simple and attractive solution for all those uneven wall/ceiling joins. And it's also great for people who have difficulty getting that join edge straight (like me). Like the look a lot.

Hi Danze
Thanks so much for the tip. I'm in the UK and didn't expect Mixed Chicks to be available here but luckily they are, so I'll definately give them a try. Thanks again x
