This entry is from a townhouse project recently designed in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The house was a historic brownstone on Garfield Place and the interior space and rear facade were renovated.

A vintage wooden bankers bench and a fun wood circular hooks gives a warm welcome in this entryway. For a whimsical touch, the wainscot was painted with a contrast painted liner and was carried through on the doors. A durable Chilewich mat added protection to the floors but also added cheerful color to the floor. As a final touch, artwork was framed above the bench to elevate the sophistication of the entry.

A lime-green bench provides additional storage and a place to put your shoes on before leaving the home. Black and white wallpaper surrounds the space with texture, adding visual interest and contrast against the clean white millwork.

The second entry to the townhouse is designed so it can be used as a family entrance that flows into a tv room, but also as a guest suite and guests have their own entrances.
