NYC Apartment







I know, I know this home has been featured over on Design*Sponge, but I really have become smitten with it. I try hard to be somewhat blog original, but sometimes I find things to be so inspiring I can't help myself. This is one of those times. That kitchen full of subway tile is such a dream. The inky black doors have me drooling. Oh, and don't even get me started on all the art work. You must check out Design*Sponge for more images and full write up of this home formerly owned by interior designer Ellen Hanson.

  1. Everything about that apartment makes me giddy. Moving from our home to a 1600 square foot apartment has its challenges. After seeing these pictures, though, I feel ready to take them on!

    Thanks so much Paula!

  8. Totally agree re: those doors. The fact that there are two, side by side, makes it! And you can see a sneak peak of another one in the living room shot. Love it! Marija

  16. Where is this apartment in NYC precisely? None of mine while I lived there ever looked like that. Then again, I was a poor college student at the time. Still. I'd move back in a moment if I could live there.
