Splashes of Color in East Village

A sunny workspace awaits you in this comfortable and oh-so-typical New York apartment. I love living in my one-bedroom apartment because it features all the traditional Big Apple amenities. The living room, kitchen, and bedroom have classic white walls, so I had a clean slate to work from. I kept the bedroom simple and minimalistic because I wanted the workspace there to be free of clutter and distractions. The desk is positioned between two large windows so there is plenty of light and an awesome view while you are working.

I added funky splashes of color in the open concept living room and kitchen. The backsplash in the kitchen is unexpectedly fun with the lime green, glass tiles. The youthful stools around the breakfast nook have unique, quirky cushions in bright colors and bold patterns. I carried the hip colors and patterns into the living rooms as well. There is lively wall art, vibrant throw blankets, and modish pillows on the sofa. Don’t mind the bicycle hanging on the wall…that’s what New Yorkers do.

The neighborhood is just as fun and unconventional as my apartment. Within walking distance, you can get sushi, ramen, tacos, pizza, and vegan cuisine. There is a cool, old cemetery nearby. You can also visit the Museum of Ice Cream New York, located just a few blocks away. Everything is pink there … the exterior of the building, the slide, the counter. Everything. The museum is still open during the pandemic and the staff does a great job of making sure all their guests are safe.
