"When Jessica Sailer and her husband fell for an 1870s Italianate building on a quiet block in Brooklyn Heights, they were willing to endure a number of attendant concessions. Given considerable renovation delays, the couple and their three young children went through a series of small rental apartments and, for a period, lived exclusively on the home's top floor. There, meals were cooked on a hot plate in the laundry room"
"While the couple originally had a minimalist, Parisian vision in mind, after they decided to work with Remy Renzullo-with his own passion for 18th-century houses and layered interiors that look like they've been lived-in for generations-there was a shared leap of faith regarding the project's ultimate direction. The London- and Connecticut-based designer usually avoids relying on visual references, yet in this instance Renzullo felt it might help identify common ground, so he began to pull archival imagery."
Jessica Sailer and her husband purchased an 1870s Italianate in Brooklyn Heights and endured lengthy renovation delays while raising three young children. The family lived for a period on the home's top floor, improvising meals and navigating a broken ankle during the move-in process. The couple initially favored a minimalist, Parisian aesthetic but shifted direction after hiring Remy Renzullo, whose interest in 18th-century houses and layered, lived-in interiors guided the project. Renzullo researched archival imagery to find common ground and emphasized sourcing furniture, art, and architectural elements. The undertaking extended over seven years and prioritized classic, collected spaces.
