Whether your home is in the city or the country, you can still take some useful design ideas away from this remarkable Brooklyn brownstone from the Brooklyn Home Co. The home’s designers are Fitzhugh Karol, a woodworker and sculptor, and Lyndsay Caleo, a jewelry designer and goldsmith. The two created this dream space by employing both interior planning and architectural design with a main goal of creating a departure from the city inside the home.

We were lucky to have our property lined with trees including Magnolia, Dogwood and a huge Cherry tree. The reclaimed shelving came from a mill in Canandaigua, NY.

The library ladder leads to one of the “guest-rooms.” The large cage lights above the kitchen island were salvaged off of a freighter ship from India. Lyndsay and Fitzhugh made the dining table together from a fallen beech tree. The bookshelves house various collections which are constantly growing and being rearranged.
