BROOKLYN BOUND - A 1200 SQUARE FOOT DUMBO LOFT GETS A $100,000 UPDATE!


Anne Maxwell's nyc loft apartment den with pink lawson fenning chairs, wood floors, and a barn door

This Brooklyn loft belongs to Anne Maxwell Foster, a co-owner in the interior design firm Tilton Fenwick. It was featured on the New York Times website recently.

Maxwell Foster and her husband bought the 1200 square foot 1 bedroom apartment that is located in Dumbo section of Brooklyn for $885,000 last March and then spent almost 3 months updating the space.

The renovation included adding interior barn doors to, transforming a small office into the master bedroom, tearing out the kitchen counters and replacing with Caesarstone quartz counters and changing out cabinet doors...they even transformed a large walk in closet that had a window into a nursery.

After the bones of the space had been renovated...the decorating began.  The designers' goal was to create an inviting atmosphere.

Here's what the updated apartment looks like.

For the living room, they chose a Kravet Medley Sofa ($5,200), the armchairs were $800 for two on eBay (about $800 and the coffee table is a $6000 Oscar de la Renta piece.

SEE THIS HOUSE: UNDER 1000 SQ FEET FOR UNDER $1 MILLION IN BROOKLYN - STAGED TO SELL!

Kitchen and dining area with black cabinets and drawers, stainless appliance, herringbone wood floor, a branch inspired chandelier, a wood table, mismatched painted white wood hairs and carved stools made from tree trunks

Could the title of this post be any longer?  Note to self...shorten post titles so they are not longer than the post...in other words, Coco, learn to self edit (uh I think that is impossible...the self-editing part...just ask my friends who have been on long phone conversations with me...LOL!)

Anyhoooo.....

Here's a cute little space...an apartment for sale. This real estate listing on realtor Corcoran's website boasts 969 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths for $949,000 in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood. This condo was renovated and styled by The Brooklyn Home Company. A condo that is clearly staged to sell!

I like the use of black beadboard in the kitchen in and the bath.  I also like the black painted window trim in the living room. While some of the furnishings are not quite my taste and would love to see some window coverings in the living room...overall this little space reads a nice neutral for anyone to come put their decor mark on it. Oh did I mention you can buy the furniture along with the apartment? Well you can.

Den in an apartment with light wood floor, white tufted sofa with black legs and upholstered, an oversized wooden doubles as a side table and two black coffee tables

Living room with black trimmed windows, a white sofa and matching armchair, herringbone wood floor, tree trunk coffee table, grey chest of drawers with yellow drawer pulls and a ship on the top and a black table

Bathroom with black beadboard walls, a pedestal sink, marble tile floor, a single pendant light and a mirror in a wood frame

White bedroom with a chest of drawers, canopy bed, and white animal head sculpture, wood floor and a green and white accent pillow

Apartment bedroom with wood floor, light periwinkle walls, white drapes, two white side tables with mercury lamps, the bed is white with a blue and white graphic printed accent pillow and duvet cover

so what do you think of this apartment...does the staging work? Would you ever buy this? What do you like? What would you change?

Happy Monday!
