In her 110-year-old apartment in East Williamsburg, Jackie Cantwell undertook significant renovations to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. She painted the ceiling and trim in subtle gray after initially attempting an ochre color she disliked. The living room is decorated with a blend of vintage and modern pieces, including a handmade table in front of a nonfunctional fireplace. Jackie enhanced the room's ambiance with layered lighting options and fabric details, showcasing her unique style while respecting her landlord's traditional approach.
Jackie describes her landlord in her current place as old-school, "so I couldn't go as wild as in my last two apartments," but opted for subtle neutral tones.
She painted the entire ceiling twice; the first was ochre which she disliked, later settling on subtle gray that she says softened the room.
