NYC Sublet

I'm sure these pictures don't do it justice, but this is where I sublet an apartment in Brooklyn when I was living there over the summer. These guys (one of whom did Peace Corps Dominican) have traveled everywhere. And they have their apartment to prove it. They are best friends who had been living there for the past 5 years, collecting cool things from around the world and making funky furniture and lighting fixtures out of it! I don't necessarily share their whole style, but I totally appreciate their unique talent! And I loved living there!!

The coffee table has a glass top covering a scene with figures in sand in the bottom of a trunk. The top of the trunk is chained to the ceiling with recessed lighting installed in it as a cool fixture. Records and posters cover the wall on the left.

This was my favorite part. The long hallway was accentuated by cut wood boards installed a little lower than the ceiling. The light shown through the hallway in cool patterns! It was great! You can barely see, but they also had a robot guy on the wall made out of old computer parts, bike pieces, and even metal braces that once lived in one of the inhabitant's spine!

This picture doesn't capture their huge map of NYC on the right wall, nor the multicolored glass light fixtures on the ceiling. I need to work on my photography skills!

Oh, maybe the kitchen was my favorite! They decoupaged the entire set of cabinets! Once again, wish I had a close up! The accent wall was red and had another framed world map with pins placed where they had traveled to, and thread from the pin leading to a cool picture from that place. Very interesting!

This was my room! The bright blue walls were fun! I could just sit and stare at the room for hours. Up until the day I moved out I was still discovering new cool things in the room!
