Carolina S. Ortiz transformed her 1929 Upper East Side apartment by painting the gray walls a brighter white and adding personality with decor. She used botanical peel-and-stick wallpaper on the back wall and hung fake plants from a curtain rod for greenery. By choosing IKEA cabinets that serve as bench seating with storage, she increased organization in her kitchen. This enables her to host comfortably, as she keeps appliances and serving platters stored, maximizing the limited space efficiently.
"I wanted to make sure I found benches that could double as storage, so I looked for different types of cabinets and storage units that could fit in the space, and used painter's tape on the ground to test out different unit measurements before I made a purchase."
"I love hosting, so this allows me to have all the things I need to have friends and family over! I’m super organized and like having a designated place for everything, so when one piece of furniture can play double duty, it makes life easier."
