BROWNSTONE REVAMP – THE BROOKLYN HOME COMPANY!

September 15, 2010
  • Share

Living room with Greek key wallpaper, decorative moldings and a bright rug in Brookyln
Greek key wallpaper is applied inside decorative moldings in the front parlor of a renovated brownstone in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn.(above)

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!

Dining room with decorative mirrors, Greek key wallpaper, slipcovered chairs and a bright yellow Eames chair
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)

Kitchen with a large traditional fireplace, tall built in cabinets and a Sapele countertop
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)

Restored and repainted cake molding in a hallway and stairwell
Cake molding in the hallway and stairwell was restored and painted. (above)

Fuchsia dressing room/lounge with a glass chandelier, custom cabinets and refinished wood floor
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)

Home office with green and white Kell Wearstler Imperial Trellis wallpaper and a green Parsons desk
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.

Children's room with a large map of the world and brown and orange wicker storage baskets
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)

Close up of a crib with yellow and navy bedding
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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
