apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love your cozy bedroom and I love the muted colours throughout. I'm not sure I understand the furniture arrangement in the livingroom though...

What is the day bed or futon arrangement?

i love this! it looks fresh, tidy and comfortable.

I love your living room, it's perfect!

yes, i don't understand the day bed arrangement either but so what--it still looks great with nice style and an eclectic aesthetic.

i love it. it's very tasteful, but not boring, stylish but not sterile. there's a kind of spontaneity and warmth and it makes me curious about the person who lives there.

seems to be filled with usable and/or beautiful things.

Simply irresistible.

what a terrific design...everything seems multifunctional in a good way...like a parisian apartment without the clutter.

Lovely space: exactly the right mix of old and new.

Fantastique. I'd love to see what an overscale mirror would look like where the Menonite star is currently. Very tasteful.

That's so beautiful and serene. I love the mix of modern and antiques.

Does that giant chaise thing in the middle take the place of a couch? i love that! what is it/where'd u get it?

this is my exact taste in design... this is my dream place

One of my favorite house calls. I love the furniture arrangement in the living room, because it's haphazard, and very European feeling. So disorderly! I definitely fall into the trap of placing furniture in obvious ways sometimes. The bedroom is tiny, like mine, but I envy your windows because it makes the room feel way more airy. Good job.

The third person who has the exact same couch as me....Door Store, anyone??

This inexplicably makes me think "Last Tango in Paris" (in a good way). Nice job!

This is the kind of space I'd live in if I didn't have a husband, two sons, and a big smelly dog. Thanks for letting me live vicariously for a few moments. :)

Very nice, seems relaxing and easy to fall into "comfy" mode once you get home.. I can dig ;)

I am super curious about the kitchen tho...

I love the mix of modern and traditional.

Re daybed: I wondered where it was from or who made it. I am looking for something like that.

The Futon is made by Innovation dk.

Their stuff is pretty good. All their casual convertibles have pocket coils and steel frames. The price range for casual convertibles go from 500 to 1200.

Absolutely "dreamy." The person that decorated this apartment have excellent taste.

I really like the colors and layout of the bedroom. It gives such a lazy day snuggle in feeling. I would love to hear the renter's thoughts on the living room arrangement. I don't understand it but i want to.

I completely love this place!

It's an accomplished blend of old and new, marvellously restrained, and I especially like that antique oval desk.

However I just itch to straighten the daybed, the cowhide rug and the chair :)

Really beautiful apartment! For those of us who love our luxury NYC real estate, this hits the mark!

Very well done. The only tweak I'd make is adding color the the bay window walls. Maybe a rich but muted gold or yellow only in that nook, to pick up on all the tones of your gorgeous floors and wood pieces.

You have a very light touch, and know when to stop. This is a unique talent.

love!

The oval desk is wonderful. Where did you get the corner dresser in the bedroom? I absolutely love that piece! Your apartment is very soothing and well done. Not sure that I would have thought to put the same pieces together, but the result is amazing. Job well done!

Thanks! The corner piece from the bedroom comes from The Conran Shop on 59th and 1St Avenue.

This is fantastic. The consistent colour palette allows a great mix of modern and vintage. That Chinese ceramic stool is perfect texture to offset the whole space.

You have some really nice pieces and I love the neutral layers in the living room. What a perfect folding tray table in the hallway!

love!

I want a house tour... what wonderful use of texture!

Does anyone know where the narrow table/desk in front of the windows comes from?

Beautifully appointed and exquisitely edited. You have a sophisticated eye for form and intuitive understanding of object relationships.

i am so taken with this! (and try to refrain form comments like this but what a mix of sweet, sophisticated, subtle, rich, a touch of extravagance, warmth...).

KatherineD: the antique Pine table in front of the bay window comes from a Thrift shop - Housing works in Chelsea. They always have great pieces, just have to check often!!
