ONE BEDROOM NYC APARTMENT – BEFORE & AFTER

October 31, 2013
  • Share
Blue and white living room in Rebecca de Ravenel's New York apartment with a blue and white sofa, white armchair, blue and white striped rug and an ottoman style coffee table

Should start off by saying Happy Halloween. Was walking to get my morning tea and ran into someone dressed as a headless horseman…hmmm…Happy Halloween?

Anyhooo…Love this cute 1250 square foot, one bedroom, one bath, West Village apartment in New York City. It was transformed into a beautiful tropical feeling space filled with personal collected items by French socialite Rebecca de Ravenel. Rebecca’s New York City apartment is featured on Vogue magazine’s website.

Rebecca moved into the space and transformed it with vintage finds from antique and flea markets, treasures from her family, and pieces from her travels.  Beautiful textiles from Raul Textiles and Quadrille in vibrant blues and whites.

Before, she did her magic, the apartment was a nice but regular garden space in desperate need of a face lift.  Heres is the before and after!

What do you think of this New York City before and after redecorate? Like or dislike?

Happy Thusday! Happy Halloween!

P.S. COCOCOZY PRESS ALERT – Forgot to let you know that our COCOCOZY Loop Rug in Pink made the pages of Luxe Magazine in the Octoher 2013 issue! Was so excited to see our rug on the same page as some very prestigious brands! Also a little surreal as well!  Best of friend AM is a huge fan of all things pink.  She chose this color pink for the COCOCOZY collection…AM should be proud that her pink colorway pick made the pages of a glossy magazine!

    What a transformation! I love it. I especially love the console table arrangement. Really eclectic but sophisticated. Thanks for sharing

    I’m drooling over the sweet blue printed sofa! The giraffe is highly unexpected but for some reason I like it!

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.
