Smart, sophisticated apartment remodel
Small changes, such as adding a window seat in the master bedroom, solved big problems. "In a vintage house, closet space is always an issue. You have to create it wherever you can," Eva says. The window seat left room for new tall closets at either end of the wall. Hand-painted tone-on-tone stripes bring sophistication to the walls. Mid-century lamps bring glamour to the bedside.
