Decor inspiration from the neighborhood

Hard to believe such fabulousness once dwelt so near me.
Another home by Athena Calderone, this one at One Brooklyn Bridge, which locals may recall as the erstwhile 360 Furman Street.

I at one time gazed out on this view when I had a part-time job here folding laundry.

Ms. Calderone transformed the industrial loft space with a mix of neutral paint, antique and modern furniture and wood floors.

She has since moved on to other neighborhoods due to the lack of organic grocery stores in walking distance.

So real yet surreal.
