In her quest for a unique apartment in New York City, interior designer Kate McElhiney faced the common challenge of uninspired rental options. Ultimately, she found a 750-square-foot Brooklyn Heights unit with charming features like exposed wood beams. While navigating the quirky layout, McElhiney was keen on utilizing her collection of decor without major renovations. Her design experience under various well-known interior designers helped her blend personal style and practicality, leading to a space that truly felt like home.
During her 2023 apartment search, New York City native and interior designer Kate McElhiney craved a character-filled unit that she and her husband could call their own.
When touring her current place-a 750-square-foot unit located on one of Brooklyn Heights' famed 'fruit streets'-she immediately saw potential in the exposed wood beams and lofted duplex layout.
I had amassed a good collection of lamps, textiles, and artwork in the years before we moved in, so it was a joy to finally be able to use all my pieces.
At PPA, I learned how to stretch my imagination as Peter and Alice knew artisans and craftspeople who could make anything we could dream up-a creative's dream.
