A Renter Turned a Brooklyn Apartment into a Colorfully DIYed Sanctuary (Wait Until You See the Cat's Office)
""Something else she's working on in this apartment is "leaning into a new found identity as a creative person. In the internet age there is so much to take creative inspiration from. I have about 20 ideas for every one that I actually execute. Typically concepts that make me laugh or feel really unique are the ones that I am able to get across the finish line," she writes, using Tony's "office" as an example."
""I hope that my choices honor the integrity, charm, and history of the space while also injecting a bit of modern eccentricity," she admits. "The space is cozy, joyful, and practical. I enjoy contrasting vintage dark wood furniture with bright colors and organic patterns. Decorating has really been an exercise in getting to know myself on a deeper level. I am famously indecisive, so each item in the space has truly been agonized over in the process of FB Marketplacing, DIYing, or vintage shopping.""
Annika Morgan and her cat Tony live in an 875-square-foot, two-bedroom prewar rental with picture frame moldings, tall ceilings, and large sun-filled windows. Annika secured the place quickly and treasures having a dedicated workspace as a self-employed nonprofit freelancer. She pursues hands-on projects, DIYs, and furniture finds, enjoying the satisfaction of making things herself. Annika is exploring a creative identity, generating many ideas but completing a few that feel unique or funny. The apartment balances preserved historic integrity with modern eccentric touches, contrasting vintage dark wood with bright colors and organic patterns.
