Home inspiration: Brooklyn brownstone
My friends Mike and Emma shared photos of their Brooklyn brownstone on Design*Sponge this week, and it's as quirky and fun as they are. The coolest part? They have an actual Alex Katz painting in their living room. They found it on eBay for a deal, since it had a small tear in the corner. ("I could care less," Emma says.) Incredible.
And on their perfect paint color: "When we bought the house, the walls were orange—sherbet orange—it was very Santa Fe," says Emma. "We knew we had to get rid of the orange. We spent a lot of time thinking about blues and greys, and this is Wedgewood Blue."
P.S. Their awesome Manhattan wedding.

I love that wall color. I've actually seen Wedgewood Blue around a lot of spaces that I love.
Also, Joanna. I used a picture of you and Toby for a link on my blog, I hope you don't mind.
So beautiful. Their layout and decor is perfect.
thanks for asking, aura -- no problem at all, it looks really cute! :)
They sounds fun and I really love the Alex Katz painting...and the colourful chair in the corner with a cool pillow:) What a great place!
Happy Friday:)
I am so in love with that table! Oh my!
i have been trying to convince my boy to paint our apartment that color, it's so nice!
what a great room! isn't it sweet that the picture goes with their decor? did they plan around the picture to was it just a fluke?
the painting is incredible!
What a beautiful home! And I absolutely LOVE their sofa! I am dieing with envy here!! BTW, is that Woodie Alan in the painting...?
ok... i'm in LOVE with this place! i can't imagine this being MY home. i would never leave. ;)
GORGEOUS! Just adore this! Nothing like having fabulous friends who inspire you in the design department! I know you're inundated with requests but if do find a spare moment in between being a super mum and a super blogger I'd love for you to check out my Snickers Macarons that I just posted :)

What fun pieces!
- My brother has asked me to decorate his bedroom, but I have been having the hardest time, he wants either blue or gray walls, this color would perhaps be perfect!
♥
I'm sure theirs is original, but I have always wanted to fake architectural details like the panels in that shot! Would looks so awesome.
i love their home!
and i would not give a hoot about the tear on that painting either.
wedgewood blue, I'm going to have to remember that color because I really like it!
LOVE!
This is a beautiful room! I absolutely love the wainscoting on the walls, along with that amazing color. Adore that sofa too! :)
I loooove that painting!
that rug is fabulous!! I am in search of a rug equal in greatness for my new home!
bird, the rug is from anthropologie; they got it at a sale. xo
Love that paint color, their home is amazing!!
thanks for the link to their website; i just bought the two letter scrabble word print for my boyfriend, who is an avid scrabble player. and just yesterday i was beginning to enter panic mode on what to buy the boy who wants nothing! :D
i'd like to live in this house :)
That couch looks SO comfortable.
Their place is so charming, but their wedding (I just saw it for the first time), incredible! David Sedaris? Brilliant.
Gorgeous! I love when people are creative with decor, I'm trying to be haha getting there slowly. Love the color they chose for their walls!
Love the white panels in contrast to the grey...my fave. Beautiful. XO Valerie

Who makes wedgewood blue?
Amazing ! love the mix of pattern and styles, the result is a very warm space.
I love the ball like flowers. Big fan! my friend makes felted ones like this and I have had my dried "billy balls" on my kitchen table for a couple months now. Gotta love perfectly round strait stemmed things in vases! hee! happy weekend joanna. xx
great painting and i love the wall color!
very interested in those flowers...
Gorgeous paint colour! Wedgewood Blue...I shall make note of that. What brand did they happen to use? Something fancy like Farrow & Ball? Or something more "everyday user" like Benjamin Moore? In any case, love their palette! My kind of place!
I've been thinking of blue and grey paint myself lately for our master bedroom - this is lovely!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Jo!!
♥
this looks like a place id love to just drink a glass of wine and relax in.
are they willing to adopt a 31 year old daughter? I want to live there.
Oh, their home is as adorable as they are. Love the gray walls/white trim! And don't even get me started about the Alex Katz! Just saw his portrait of Anna Wintour at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The Alex Katz painting really makes the room. Very cozy!

That seriously is the perfect wall colour! What personality in that place!
Love the apartment, and their wedding was beautiful!
Could you tell me where they got their couch? We have been looking for something like that...
That is such a lovely room.
Btw, Joanna, did you know model Brooklyn Decker listed your blog as her favourite in a recent interview?
Wait, can we just take a minute to talk about the ALEX KATZ painting from EBAY? Does Alex Katz know this? Must go down as the best Ebay purchase of all time. Amazing. Well done, you two! (And well done Joanna for mentioning it!)
Nice living room, Jo.
What awesome friends you have! Their wedding looked so fun.
i love the mouldings here! and that painting,,,,totally fabulous. what a find!
Love that blue. The walls in my room are that color. That sofa looks so comfy. Perfect:)
This makes me want to start re-decorating
What an awesome paint color!!
The Alex Katz was a print, not a painting--big difference :)
i saw this on design sponge and was loving the molding in their living room! envious over here...
oooh what a cool, calm blue.
they do have a knack for design, their place is SO lovely!
xo.
I adore it. And I love their paint color choices.
that really is the perfect wall color!
stunning! just love the rug!
I have been all about decor recently...and I love the color of their walls and the molding. Also, great painting...it's amazing what you can find on ebay!
I loved this living room when I saw it on d*s! On my monitor, though, the walls look more the ever-so-pale seagrass green that I have been coveting for ages, and which I finally found: Pearl Colour at The Little Greene. Given that my sofa is also tufted charcoal, I am now confident that it will all work well together. :-)
Beautiful home - don't think there is a single thing that I don't LOVE!
I am in love with the wall color! So perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Kate
Can't believe that an Alex Katz painting was auctioned on ebay.
