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!

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!

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
