A dream grows in Brooklyn

Friends of ours are having their second baby this fall. And they're also in the process of buying a brownstone - a new home for their growing family and their dreams of finally putting down roots in a special place.

Like most houses, this one will need a little tender love and care. We're thinking something inspired by Jenna Lyons' beautiful home...

A nod to tradition, without taking it too seriously,

a few playful details thrown in for good measure,

a simple farm table paired with Bertoia chairs, maybe,

all the while remaining classic and clean-lined for sure...

I think it'll look great once we're done. We probably won't start work until the spring, but it's fun to start thinking about it...no?
