Big City Digs: Brooklyn Church Turned Condo
From the exterior, few might suspect that this Gothic-style church in Brooklyn is actually home to several condominiums. To highlight the unique architectural details of the interior, LABLstudio painted their client's door a teal blue, outfitted the kitchen with matching tile, and then pulled in antique pieces that speak to the owner's eclectic style.

Eclectic Living Room With Pink Sofa
Part of the home's quirky charm comes from its various levels. A sunken living room is deliciously full of soft poufs and pillows. The dining room is up above with a ladder leading intriguingly to yet a third level.
