A modern lighthearted and comfortable Park Slope Brownstone
A Brooklyn apartment full of inspiring ideas and details
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! It seems like another lifetime ago when I used to live in Brooklyn, first Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and then Park Slope. I’m full on domestic now and living in the suburbs of Washington DC, but there are times when I miss the quirky apartments and having 10 cafes all within 5 blocks. The apartment below is much nicer than any of mine were, but it still makes me nostalgic for Park Slope living!
For a New York apartment, the natural light in this place is amazing. Ant that mirrored mantle! I thought it was the entrance to another room at first. Notice the tin ceiling, which was a common characteristic of the brownstones there.
Exposed brick was another fun element in a lot of apartments. These old buildings were full of character and charm.
So serene and beautiful!
I really like the wallpaper and pink door in the bathroom.
The ceiling is actually painted a soft mint to complement the antique runner.
A fun blue home office and guest room.
Principal of Wills Design Associates Lauren Wills is a friend of the family and helped them transform their home into a modern and comfortable space. Wills loves creating contrast and a statement, so the black accent wall in the master was a way to do that without being over the top.
Check out the lamp table wit the bird legs! What do you think of this light-filled Park Slope home?

A bright Brooklyn home filled with light and airy layers
Fashion designer Ulla Johnson’s Brooklyn home tour
Ulla Johnson’s Brooklyn home is sure to inspire you to rethink the way you use textiles and texture. Similar to the garment’s that she designs, every piece in her home needs to be globally minded, comfortable, and chic.
White paint and neutral colored furnishings create a peaceful environment throughout the entire home.
I’m really crushing on the vintage Swiss midcentury leather and chrome chairs!
Johnson is well traveled and lived in various countries growing up with her archaeologist parents. Souvenirs abound everywhere, including on the shelves. I love this bookcase because it doesn’t take itself too seriously!
Macrame curtains, muted pinks, and a basket full of stuffed animals make for a sweet little girl’s room.
Even her son’s room is decorated with artifacts from around the world. I can’t get over how light-filled the spaces are.
The master bedroom follows the theme of serene by utilizing white paint and neutral textiles.

Layers of color: how to break away from monochrome and embrace color
Sometimes, you can describe what you mean – you need to a picture. I think the following examples are a great way to describe how to layer different colors in a space to create a harmonious and memorable room.
Scared? Start with the guest bed bedding to try your hand at mixing colors. From their you can build the confidence to work with larger spaces?
Anyone here a master at mixing colors? Or are you afraid?
