An Interior Design Student’s Bright Brooklyn Apartment

Name: Kate Location: Brooklyn Heights — Brooklyn, New York I live in a two bedroom, pre-war federal-style townhouse in Brooklyn Heights, as one of four owners in the building. I moved here four years ago from a studio in Gramercy to get more space, but mostly because I love the sense of history in both the apartment (it’s got thick moldings and an old marble fireplace), and the neighborhood. For me, walking through the streets on a Saturday is an exciting activity in itself.

7 Rooms That Break Rug Size “Rules” (And Still Look Good)

I’ll be honest, when I got the brief for this article, I took one look at the title and thought: no way.

Marie Kondo, Take the Wheel: I’m Trying to Part with Sentimental Clutter and it’s HARD!

I have some things that have been sitting in drawers and closets for years and—while I don’t need or use these things—I am pained to part with them. Some are inherited, some were formerly important, some never made sense, and a lot are scraps: of papers, events, good days, and really amazing trips. They’re little material bits of my life that sit in drawers or the back of closets. And I’ve never figured out how to part with them.

Side-by-Side: Two Identical Lofts Decorated Totally Differently

Beyond satiating curiosity, getting to see how different people tackle the layout of homes with the same floor plan is also illuminating. Do the same people have the same design challenges? Do they use space in the same way? Does architecture have a strong affect on the furniture and accessories selected? Tirsh and Minky share a lovely North Oakland loft with their dog Arnie. As the owners of Hunter & Lew, a design studio, having a home that fosters creativity is clearly important to them.
