Keri Russell’s Brooklyn Brownstone
Loved these shots from this month’s Elle Decor feature on Keri Russell and her husband Shane Deary’s home in Brooklyn. Deary is a contractor and craftsman, and the two renovated the 1860′s building themselves, including restoring the floors, which Deary pulled up plank-by-plank, numbered, refinished, and replaced in their original location. Um, wow.
I was obsessed with Felicity (I think it’s one reason I transferred from UNC to NYU– I re-watched the entire series during my first semester at UNC, and in the show, Felicity attends the fictional “UNY”…), and now, I’m obsessed with Keri Russell’s actual life.
Industrial in Atlanta
Being from Atlanta, I was super excited when I came across this loft apartment in the King Plow Art Center on Design*Sponge! King Plow Arts is a former plow and agricultural equipment factory and warehouse that is now home to the Atlanta Actors Express theater, an event space, and other artsy companies. It’s located in the super hip East Side neighborhood, and I’ve been intrigued by the space ever since I went to a Bat Mitzvah there when I was twelve!
But I had no idea you could live there! The industrial heritage-meets-residential is so up my alley, and though I am absolutely in love with San Francisco, I found myself immediately checking if lofts* were available and how much they cost. I think there’s a possibility that I will live in about twenty different houses/apartments in my life because I can see myself in anything from an industrial loft to traditional Tudor style. But I digress.
Here, I present to you, the home of photographer Rob Brinson and his wife Jill Brinson, who is creative director for Ballard Home. You can read more about them and their home in the interview at D*S. Also, I fell in love with their pug, Ricky Bobby, who has his own website. He doesn’t have use of his back legs due to a spinal injury, and he has his own foundation to give wheels to disabled dogs! The website is hilarious/awesome.
*In case you were wondering, you can get 2,300 square feet at King Plow for $475k.
