Loving this 4-story redesigned and renovated historic brownstone in Brooklyn. Yet another fabulous design creation from The Brooklyn Home Company.
New York Brownstone Revamp
I like the fact that the design takes advantage of everything old in the house but adds a new twist to all of the fantastic architectural detail throughout.
Have some friends of friends who live in Brooklyn and who also have a fabulous renovated brownstone…I may have to “impose” and ask if I can take some pictures there next time I am in New York…just might…
Well for now, here is this great brownstone!
A bright yellow molded plastic Eames chair plays host to the home’s dining area that also features decorative mirrors, slipcovered dining chairs all around a rectangular dining table. (above)
The custom kitchen features a large traditional fireplace with marble surround and painted mantel, tall built-in pantry cabinets in soft black, solid wood Sapele countertop and a red rubber dipped chandelier. (above)
Cake molding in the hallway and stairwell was restored and painted. (above)
A fuchsia dressing room/lounge with a glass chandelier separates the master suite and the master bathroom. Custom walnut cabinets and shelves were built for storage and the original wood flooring was salvaged and refinished in a dark ebony color. (above)
The iconic green and white Kelly Wearstler Imperial Trellis wallpaper is used in the study/home office. A glossy Parsons desk sits in front of a tall window.
A large wall map of the world acts as art in the children’s playroom while wicker storage baskets in brown and orange keep toys organized.(above)
Sweet dreams in the nursery…detail of the baby’s cute yellow and navy bedding. (above)
What room is your favorite?
Again, have to go get ready for work and make it in for an early morning meeting. Oh boy. Running now!

Beautiful! Totally loving the dressing room. It’s so cheery and fun!
Dressing room!!
love the greek key wallpaper.
Beyond amazing! I love everything- especially the wallpaper!
All of those rooms are beautiful but where/how do I find the moldings like in the 4th picture. Talk about a beautiful detail. I attempted googling for “cake molding” like you called, but it just results in baking molds. Not quite the same haha.
playroom, loved the map! So great for kids.
Lovely home, I too liked the “cake molding”
Cake molding in the hallway and stairwell! absolutely lovely! Good enough to eat…..smiles.
the greek key wallpaper is so subtle yet makes such a statement, i love it!
Love the playroom. The orange makes it pop!
I like your blog and your name! We designing “Coco’s” need to stick together. Come see me at http://www.cafedecocco.blogspot.com or http://www.decoccodesign.com
Keep up the good work!

ADORE the dressing room. If this were my dressing room, I would never leave it. I would have my girlfriends over for martini parties or afternoon tea in that room.
My favs: stairwell (love that design and color!!!) and the delicious dressing room/lounge.

That’s my house! So funny, my mom ran across your blog and couldn’t believe that it was our Brownstone! Funny too, my nickname is also Coco. Brooklyn Home Company did an AMAZING job on our renovations, love everything about it 🙂
Thanks for the shout out!
Love the wallpaper. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Brownstone! The way that they blended the modern elements with softer, more cottage components (such as the slipcovered chairs) make it eclectic and interesting. I also adore Kelly Wearstler’s trellis wallpaper… very fresh!
Hey, I can’t view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
I am wondering where you purchased the world map decal. I thought I found it online once, but now I can’t find it. I would love to buy one.
I LOVE the details in the brown staircase, I am dying to know how it was done? Was it free handed? How did you do it?
Thanks, Vanessa
