Natalie continues her home’s story: “As a photographer and interior designer, both of my careers have a big emphasis on the home. I am always thinking of how I can create artwork that will enhance interiors and create a moment of calm and bliss in people’s everyday lives. My goal as an artist is to create more beauty in the world and create pieces that are affordable and accessible to young adults and beyond.”

“The first thing that caught my eye was the space — I saw so much potential in the 11-foot ceilings and the 1,000 square foot wide open floor plan. I was immediately drawn to the charm of the 1920s building — the columns, brick wall, and exposed pipes give the space so much character,” Natalie describes.

“I found the apartment on Streeteasy and the listing had photos of a similar unit. We were living outside of the city at the time, so we were able to take our time until the perfect place came along. We checked everyday in our favorite neighborhood for weeks. Once I came to tour the apartment, it was completely empty so the scale became very apparent and I realized we were going to need some bigger furniture. It definitely took a lot of imagination and time to get from a blank space to this,” she says.

“I think that the building was originally some type of industrial warehouse or textile factory,” admits Natalie. “We love how it currently feels like a modern day artist’s loft in the heart of downtown Manhattan. The building has a great creative energy and liveliness — a few of the neighbors I’ve met are painters, music producers, content creators, and designers.”
