[above: the dining room table was a street find (!!) in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, near our Vena Cava studio. I couldnt believe that someone was actually getting rid of such a great table, so I wasnt going to take it- and the owner happened to walk out of his home right then. He explained tha the loved the table, but didnt have room for it in his new place, and proceeded to call me a car to take the table, take it apart, and help me load it into the car- so unbelievably nice!! The chairs are a score from the flea market in Brimfield, MA, which I recovered in African fabric. Brimfield is a killer flea market that happens for one week three times a year.]
view from my living room into the bedroom. I found this life-size porcelain monkey at Modest Designs on Wythe Street, which inspired me to paint this one wall dark navy so the monkey was more prominent. I love one dark wall in a white room. The chair- Im not sure if its a real wassily but whatever- is from housing works- their website is a total goldmine.

my bedroom, with a black and white striped Ikea rug with a vintage brown striped horse blanket over it (Ive tripped over the buckle and almost ate it innumerable times), a CB2 printed comforter, and a 70s black flocked poster that says “just bone me” This poster made me laugh out loud when I found it, and my partner Sophie suggested it go over the bed, which is now its new home.
my living room. The rug and white couch are hand-me-dows from my parents. I had the lucky timing of moving into my first real apt just as they were moving out of my childhood home.
my 40s pink tiled bathroom.
