Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I am a Broadway stage manager, and my boyfriend is a musician. It was important to us to combine each of our own aesthetics and showcase previous works we’ve done without making it a shrine to our achievements. For us, having a comfortable place to come home to and unwind in after our evening shows was most important to us.

Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less: Comfortable, Funky, Stylish

What is your favorite room and why? The living room. Besides the incredible lighting, the plants and the color scheme make it feel like a jungle. It was important to us to not have a TV as the focal point of our space, instead opting for two bookcases and original artwork.

Any advice for creating a home you love? It’s sometimes worth it to spend a little more on quality pieces. Our couch was not cheap, but we plan on having this baby with us for the next 10+ years!
