Hattie

The living room has a set on either side, I was worried they had been completely taken out like so many apts in my building but we were lucky! I did this back in 2020…the start of my restorations! #pocketdoors #oldhomerestoration #nycapartment

So nifty and $25! Mind blown #KitchenHacks #stovegapcovers

New home project loading...thankfully it's a small one. I am often asked what my creative process is for coming up with project ideas: 1. I think it's living in the space for a long time, seeing how it functions/how I need it to function and a lottttt of trial and error in experimenting with different set ups. 2. @pinterest! I save pretty much any image I like & organize them into folders. When one of my spaces isn't feeling right, or functioning in the way I want it to, I go back to those folders to look for commanalities. In the case of my butler's pantry, storage is what l'm lacking- who isn't in an NYC apartment-and I have a big empty wall (aka preciois real estate!) going to waste. Looking at my saved images, I paid attention to what I was liking about those rooms. Apart from the utility of having storage on multiple walls, I liked the cozy, closed in feel those rooms give. I think enveloping my space like that will take it from feeling more like a hallway to an actual butler's pantry, so l'm excited for its next iteration. Of course, it's a narrow space and still a walkway, so not doing anything too crazy! #butlerspantry #pantry #kitchendesign #nycapartments #interiordesign

I’ll post more houses we looked at soon but wanted to share a brief recap of the story with my NYC apartment! Don’t worry, I’m still keeping it forever! Just looking for a weekend home, investment property and next canvas. So excited to take you along. #nycapartment #interiors #interiorinspo #interiordesign #diyproject #historicalhome

Replying to @JamieT part 2 of making my butler’s pantry more functional. Really like where this is going! Paint color is Treron by @Farrow & Ball #butlerspantry #pantry #kitchendesign

Bagel brunch part 1! PS my storage unit is @Manhattan Mini & a literal lifesaver #brunchideas #nycapartment #interiordesign

Their reactions at the end🥹 aren’t they the cutest?! I love hosting them! #nycapartment #interiors

Part 1! After years of doing home projects, I can confidently say my favorite are the ones that give us more storage. Part 2 is posted! #diywardrobe #builtinwardrobe #bedroomideas #nycapartment #radiatorcover

May have taken me my entire life but finally found the best solution for this space! It's a narrow walkway, so we couldn't add shelves all the way down the wall as you'd probably run into them when walking by. Shelves above and a brass railing below lends storage for everyday items and clears space off the counters! Yay! Linking all products we used on stories & saving to the butler's pantry highlight.

Part 3/finale! The key to a girl’s ❤️ is storage #builtinwardrobe #radiatorcover #DIY #interiors

I found this tour I filmed back in 2020 (exactly 5 years ago almost to the day!) and WOW I am in awe. I added the current photos so you can see side by side how much has changed! It's amazing to see how much work l've done since then, but I think the best part is hearing how I talked about how things "originally would have been" or how they "should be" not knowing that one day l'd be able the bring apartment back to its intended condition! Never in a million years would Hattie from 2020 think she did away with that closet, restored that swinging door into a passageway and replaced that bulletin board with custom glass. She would have NEVER believed you if you told her that dark & tiny kitchen would one day actually be a deVOL kitchen and she'd be mindblown to hear that 5 years later she's still working on restorations and not quite done!! I knew I did really good when showed Sebastian the original video from 2020 and he was like "wait what is this, your neighbor's apartment upstairs?" Unrecognizable apparently! #nycapartment #nycapartmenttour #DIY #interiors #interiordesign #nycapartments #prewarbuilding #prewarapartment

Grateful and so excited to be entering this new chapter! #countryhouse

So of course I threw a bagel brunch for the girls! #diningroom #nycapartment #diningroomdecor room
