The couple behind an Instagram account that documents Brooklyn’s most beautiful brownstones renovates one of their own. Take a look inside their Italianate brownstone in Carroll Gardens complete with lots of period details
Photo: Bernadett Pava In 2014, Eve and Ilya began the hunt for a brownstone rental in Cobble Hill. They strolled the neighborhood after work, admiring the historic houses and dreaming that one day they’d find their own. Four months later, they landed an Italianate brownstone in Carroll Gardens complete with lots of period details.

The original cast-iron radiators were intact in every room. Here, in the living room, is a pink marble side table from CB2 with a handblown-glass sculpture by SkLO. The oil painting by Lino Lago above the sofa was commissioned for the space. The area rug is from Solo Rugs.

Under the bedroom bay window is a vintage vanity table sourced from Chairish. The fringed slipper chair is from Pier 1 Imports. The perfect balance of the owners’ aesthetics, they say, has been matched. “In the morning, the sun hits the taupe wall treatment,” Eve says, “and gives off a warm glow. It’s now very hard to get out of bed.” Photo: Bernadett Pava More From Design Hunting See All
