What do you do when you’ve got a large living room for a young family and only a few pieces of furniture? You layer. And you have fun with it.
Read MoreBEFORE & AFTER: A MINIMAL, MODERN CONDO
For a young couple who share a love of travel and seeing the world, the idea of coming home to a more minimal space made perfect sense.
With this condo being a renovated storefront, we had plenty of unique features in the space worth highlighting: Large front windows. High ceilings. Exposed brick walls. A large, loft-like main room. I couldn’t wait to amplify these architectural elements with furniture, décor, and art.

HUMPITZ MANOR
When Marc and I first moved in our home a little over a year ago, we faced a common dilemma for renters: how do we make this space feel like our own?
