Jenny and Chris Merge Styles in Williamsburg

Name: Jenny Kaplan and Chris Corrado Location: Brooklyn, New York Chris and I have been living together for about a year. I moved into his apartment, where he has been living for the past six years.

Before & After: From TV Armoire to Built-in Banquette Bench

Christina’s TV cabinet wasn’t looking so hot anymore. Ten years old, she had tried to sell it on Craigslist twice, without even one bite. She had even considered dragging it to the curb to give away for free, but it was too heavy to move! Christina felt stuck with a piece of furniture she didn’t love anymore. Until she had an idea to totally transform it into something completely new.
