When personal shopper and stylist Marta Escoda decided to move into her grandparent’s apartment, she knew it would need renovating. But while she wanted a fresh start and to make new memories in this place, she also knew this apartment was part of her history and heritage, and desired to keep some of the original character.

Thankfully, that task was made easier thanks to a family of designers. Marta’s father-in-law is an architect and redesigned the home’s layout to accommodate their family.

Apartment Therapy Survey:

Our Style: Classic with modern touches style!

Inspiration: Pinterest

Favorite Element: I don’t have a favorite element. I’m changing my mind all the time, so one day I like something and another day I like something else!

Biggest Challenge: Everything goes perfectly when you have an architect, a builder, and an interior designer in the family.

What Friends Say: That it is very cozy and they admire the tidiness. They say there is a good vibe.

Biggest Embarrassment: The terrace. It is not done yet and I don’t like it at all.

Proudest DIY: The fabric animals I do for the children. The living room shades.

Biggest Indulgence: The living room shades.

Best Advice: Hire my husband for a renovation! Also having an interior designer was very helpful.
