A Colorful, Twee NYC Apartment Any Auteur Would Love

If you close your eyes and imagine graphic wallpapers, footed tubs, flora-filled door frames, there’s a new dream real estate listing you have to see: A New York City co-op so deliciously twee, we’re surprised it hasn’t been designed by Adam Stockhausen.
