brooklyn apartment no. 1








I'm back! This week is school vacation for my kids and we zipped down to New York for a long weekend to stay with my cousin and his wife who live in Brooklyn. They own two apartments overlooking Sunset Park, one where they live, and one they use as a music studio and a crash pad for any lucky family members who come to visit.

I'm always inspired by other people's houses, so here are a few shots of apartment no. 1 where we stayed. I love this place. It's small, cozy, charming and very liveable. My kids were ready to stay for the long haul! I'll post apartment no. 2 later this week.

Also, thank you for your kind comments on the cowl. Some of you have asked for the pattern and I will post it later this week as well.

More on New York tomorrow too!
