I agree with Parnassus, except on the settle where I'd switch out that green fabric for something lighter / neutral that will coordinate with the window seat and keep the room light. The rug is v pretty, keep it. Move the chair to another area of the room, change out the linen pillows for something in red/blue that brings it all together. It's a beautiful room, good luck!

You did a great job making this apt unique and personal. Def an accomplishment considering the pain of nyc cookie cutter apartments. I do not get it, there does not appear to be a single developer here with an original idea. Anyway... curious, are your dining chairs from room and board, too? Also, any chance you can tell us which neighborhood you're moving to? I can only imagine a loft space with brick exists in brooklyn....

I think this place looks great, love the light. Agree with the other posters re high, sheer curtains, and maybe some light colored throw pillows or blankets on the couch to pull it together.

This is a major improvement, congrats! I'd also hang some artwork or try to introduce a bit of color somehow..

Um... what? I come to AT for design, and a little bit of escapism, not to be reminded of my real world relationship problems. There has to be a much more on topic, on brand way to explore relationships & home than this. I second some of the earlier opinions that AT has changed a lot in the last few years, and I'm having a hard time with the new editorial and even aesthetic direction of a lot of the content.

Hm, interesting... I go for aesthetics and prefer marble. I like my apt very neat but I don't worry too much about germs. I figure they're part of life. The kitchen gets thoroughly cleaned once a week and I wipe down counters in between as needed. Should be enough...

Cool apt. I live in greenwich village too, but have no idea where this building is. What are the x streets?

Sorry AT I disagree with you here, I don't like this look. And, isn't it a little tacky to have all your GG out on display?

This is the best before & after I've ever seen. Thanks! Do agree the door pulls would look better if antiqued.

Love your apt and just turned in my vote for you. The before and afters on your blog really did it for me, you've put in so much work and creative energy, this apt deserves it imo. Thanks!
