Jeanne Fu House Tour

Inspired by my friends and Apartment Therapy, I wanted to share a travel adventure of the local sort: a house tour of Chez Fu, a 500 square foot studio in a brownstone building on the Upper East Side:

IMAG8346-1 — My daily ritual: hanging the keys to Chez Fu above the entryway

IMAG8372-1 — A fun and modern shower curtain brighten up an otherwise bland bathroom

IMAG8374-1 — with black, white, and green accents to match

IMAG8355-1 — A canvas from Kenya and vintage calendar adorn the entryway

IMAG8348-1 — A mix of masks from South Africa, Puerto Rico, and Argentina a quirky kitchen make

IMAG8326-1 — DIY to die for: a makeshift fireplace and fire engine red Ikea Expedit bookcase room divider

IMAG8327-1 — Arguably the studio centerpiece, this Ikea gem provides privacy and superb storage. Bright, poppy accent furniture and decor add a sense of eclectic modernism to the living room space.

IMAG8361-1 — Additional ‘floating’ storage thanks to Ikea and Dad’s DIY talents

IMAG8370-1 — A Manhattan studio with decent closet space – as high as they (there are two) are deep!

IMAG8365-1 — A Kenyan love mask and Indonesian wooden decor hang above the ‘bedroom’

Fin.

Looks fabulous Fu! I need you to come to South London to give our place a makeover! Am currently in SA still (just went diving with Great White Sharks!!!) but will give you a call for a long overdue catch up when I’m back in the UK. Yeri xx
