The walls of the living room are a deep turquoise- a color that is a little unusual but completely dramatic. In order to keep the room from looking too dark, the floors are painted in a white and brown checkerboard pattern. For some shots of color, orange, yellow and brown are used to great effect. And the wallpaper in the entry! I think this particular print (can someone tell me what it is?) provides a little maturity to the apartment. All in all, a pretty great apartment for a lucky young woman. What do you think?

I love the paper in the hallway.
ReplyDeleteRonda- Me too. I'm thinking it's Clarence House, but I hope somebody can fill us in!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! So chic. I love it.
ReplyDeleteA perfect apartment for a young woman or man ( namely, me! ). However, how young can she be - in manhattan? That looks pretty..umm...expensive!! I know how young people's apts are in NY and they're not like that ( no matter how beautifully decorated! ).
ReplyDeleteLovely interior for a young woman ...
ReplyDeleteI love the mirror drawer in the bedroom . I Collect this type of 50's furniture . I love it.

ReplyDeleteThe offspring, no doubt, of very wealthy and generous parents!
ReplyDeleteMost aspiring clothing designers in Manhattan cannot afford a $3,000/month one-bedroom apartment, let alone such lovely furnishings...
Glad you like it Courtney and Melanie!
ReplyDeleteBe the Change- I'm glad you like it too! I think I should have said "perfect for a young woman or man"!
Very lucky, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteDoes it say who the designer iS? just wondering. So chic for a young girl!

Not sure about the wallpaper, but I recognize the Simon Pearce heartland lamp in the last picture. I love that lamp...it works in just about any environment.
ReplyDeleteThis apartment is beautiful - for young and old. Nice to see someone young had such consideration for where - and how - they live!
ReplyDeleteI agree, what a beautiful apartment. I love those turquoise walls - they're so dramatic. The wallpaper in the hall is beautiful, and the boxes in the last photo are too.
ReplyDeleteI know I have seen that wallpaper in my travels, but I just can't seem to place it. When it pops into my mind as things invariably do I'll let you know - unless someone else is genius enough to know it. Good post.
ReplyDeleteVery sophisticated! Looks like a million bucks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think it's quite a masculine looking space. In the sitting room, take away the floral sofa and it would make a great bachelor pad.
ReplyDeleteAttention everybody! A reader was kind enough to comment on the wallpaper, but Blogger is not letting me publish it for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteThe wallpaper is Brunschwig & Fils "Gallaudet Diamond".
Thank you very much to the reader who gave us this information!
Thanks Jennifer and especially the reader that was kind enough to inform us!! I love that paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer and especially the reader that was kind enough to inform us!! I love that paper.
ReplyDeleteRonda- I'm glad we now know what that wallpaper is. Still can't figure out why I couldn't publish that comment! Darn Blogger!
ReplyDeleteI love the bedroom and in particular the mirrored bedside chest sitting against those gorgeous yellow silk curtains!
