New York City Based Designer Brad Ford's Manhattan Apartment

I really love the way earth tones are used in this apartment.  Brad Ford is a New 

York City based designer whose Manhattan apartment is showcased in this post.

The natural light coming into the apartment is just fantastic.  

There is really no substitute for natural sunlight in a home.

I love the interesting image on the wall and I adore

the velvet covered modern styled Scandinavian chair

even more.

The organic looking wood pieces of furniture in the living 

space really helps the place feel more homey and inviting.

Super adorable child!

Space is a commodity in Manhattan and this is a nicely laid

out open floor plan for a modest kitchen and a great dining

space.

What a fantastic table setting.  It has a very natural and organic

vibe to it - the aesthetic reminds me of a lot of ceramics and table 

settings that are used in Japan.  Understated elegance in a natural and 

organic sort of way.

Another interesting photo at the top of the kitchen cabinets 

and having a lower table in the kitchen area is always useful

for keeping an eye on kids or chatting with company while

tinkering in the kitchen.

I'm a sucker for sheepskin and soft materials.

Bet most of children's rooms don't look like this.  

But it's fantastic isn't it?  Elegant, cozy and simple.

Convertible crib into a miniature bed and a fantastic map of the world

above.  I grew up with a map on my wall as well and loved it.  It helped

me greatly improve my geography and since I love travel, I love sticking

pins in the places I've been and look forward to new places to visit every

year.

A great angle for the bedroom.

Here you can see how minimalistic it is - but the bed looks comfortable.

Hope you've enjoyed this house tour.  What did you like best about this

apartment?
