Name: Brittany Martino
Location: Chelsea New York City
Size: 501 sq ft
Type of Home: Studio apartment
Years Lived In: Renting 3 years
Originally from New Jersey, Brittany comes from a diverse family with several siblings, 2 sets of adopted siblings, and French Bulldogs the family rescues and raises. Her many travels, her years teaching with Americor, and her passion for people’s wellbeing is all reflected in the thoughtful but vibrant decor of her home. Brittany says, emphatically, that your home should encourage you to reflect, find inspiration and take action to live with purpose. Her 501 sq ft apartment is steps away from the High Line in Chelsea. Outside she’s surrounded by people and art from all walks of life. Inside her very bright studio apartment, she’s surrounded by a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, an Abby Scott Baker women’s suffrage poster, a cowhide rug, shutters from the Second Chance project in Baltimore and many more unexpected pieces that all come together in a colorful balanced collage. Some tricks that make her space feel larger: obvious and open pathways from the front door to the bedroom nook, white wood floors that reflect light, minimal window covers that bring the outside in. One of our favorite features is the awkward closet in the bedroom that Brittany turned into an open vanity. After removing the closet door, she wallpapered the nook with peel and stick wallpaper, added painted shelves and attractive organizing baskets to create a feminine and unexpected bonus area. So go ahead- check out the tour, leave your comments and enjoy this sunny Chelsea studio!
