"About a year-and-a-half ago, after a series of unfortunate events, Natasha Badger, a B2B marketer and content creator, had one of the most New York-coded fortuitous events that could happen: StreetEasy randomly presented her the perfect apartment. While showing her friend the seemingly meager amount of options available, a 400-square-foot studio apartment in Manhattan appeared on her feed. "I was immediately attracted to the natural light, exposed brick, fake fireplace, and bedroom nook," Natasha says. "I submitted the application and requested a tour on the spot.""
"Even though she described the initial space as "dark and dirty and gross," she still saw it as a blank canvas. She grew up between Denmark and America, and she wanted to infuse her background into the new apartment. Throughout her time living there, Natasha has filled the home with Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen pieces, as well as Facebook Marketplace finds. While she incorporated her heritage, she also wanted to honor her personal growth in the design."
Natasha Badger discovered a 400-square-foot studio in Manhattan via StreetEasy and quickly applied and toured it, signing the lease within days. The initial space was dark and dirty but offered a blank canvas. She infused her mixed Danish and American background into the design, combining Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen pieces with Facebook Marketplace finds and practical Amazon purchases. She prioritized natural light, exposed brick, a bedroom nook, and a cozy aesthetic using linens, green accents, and curated objects. The result is a small but personalized home that reflects both heritage and personal growth during nearly three years in NYC.
