Architects have the coolest homes....

You know about my LOVE & fascination with New York City right? Well...I grew up there, in Manhattan to be exact. Although I am now a west coast gal (living in Las Vegas) I always dream of one day moving back. You know, in a big apartment in Soho or the West Village. For now I'll blog, manage my business & make lots of money until my dream comes true. Speaking of NYC, here's a stunning East Village apartment I discovered via the New York Times. It belongs to an Architect from Turkey named Koray Duman, he renovated the entire place shortly after he purchased it.

  2. I love the fact that he has plates, books... on display. Most architects always want to hide everything so their homes end up looking empty and just not lived in.

  9. I agree Emily, the white brick walls...are one of my favorite parts of his place. I used to live in a small place in NYC that had white washed brick walls...it was so bright & beautiful during the daytime.

  11. Lovelovelove. It's simple and spare but not austere. It doesn't look like an architects apartment.

  15. Does anyone know where I can get the shelve system or at least what it is called? I really love the idea, but I don't think it is an IKEA system (Stolmen kind of looks like it, but it isn't Stolmen!).

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

  19. Oh! That. Is stunning. Love the juxtaposition of old vs. new and modern. Architects certainly do not disappoint.

    And thank you for stopping by our little place on the blogosphere. :) I've been an admirer of your blog for quite some time! Your story of how you got started in the stationary design biz is very inspiring.
