#artists apt.

Meagan and Nikolas rent the 2nd fl. in a Brooklyn, New York City duplex. Meagan is a visual artist which means that she paints on anything and everything, but murals are her favorite. 

How I would love to do this to my apt. entrance door. 

Meagan also designs furniture, jewelry and clothing. 

They looked at over 40 apts. before they found this one. 

Meagan says the  apt. fits her personality and she is its curator. 

A lot of people define Meagan’s style as “artsy,” which is true, but she likes to say “high class bohemian with some avant garde sprinkled in.”

The 2nd bd. has access to a lovely balcony and is used as their apothecary/tea room/guest room.

Love this.

Being renters, comes with its own challenges when decorating — there is only so much you can change. Thankfully, their landlords are pretty open to ideas. Meagan hated the bathroom, but since she couldn’t change it structurally, she did it with paint.

This small spare room serves as her studio.

This cool artist’s home in France was a horse stable only 5 yrs. ago, when a couple that loves architecture converted it to a home. 

They left the beams from the stables. And, they left the original cement floors.

Enter a light-filled living room with a mint green fireplace. 

They made the fireplace double-sided so that it also faces the dining room. I like the various gray chairs.

They put in a large kitchen in sleek black & white. 

They added a modern industrial staircase to access the bedrooms upstairs. I really like how they painted the doors purple.

The bedrooms aren’t very large, but they have nice windows and get lots of natural light.

The smaller bath has a shower.

The secondary bedroom.

The larger bath has a tub and a shower- love the view of the awning out the window.

This is lovely- a deck out back on the water.

The artist who lives in this quirky vintage apt. in Copenhagen calls his home the Technicolor Voyage and has filled it with his art and colorful furnishings. 

Sometimes, it’s hard to distinguish between his art and stuff he bought, but I’m going to say that this bench-type piece is art. 

Artist Jason Grant styled a colorful cheerful home for his son & himself.

Adult stuff like reading material, a rocking chair, and breakable collections are out of the way, in a colorful corner nook.

Casual work space.

Black & white kitchen with pops of color.

Son’s cheery room with a bright blue metal bed.

Dad’s room.
