The original design of our apartment was transitional with both art deco and modern design influences. In the case of the wallpaper, we opted to go with Art Deco patterns from Bradbury & Bradbury. The living room pattern is "Volute-Platinum". The bedroom pattern is "Stardust-Midnight". The "Stardust" pattern was stenciled from motifs found in the now demolished "Cloud Club" at the top of New York's spectacular Chrysler Building. The wallpaper was installed by Bond Professional Wallcovering, Bronx, NY.

Initially, our goal was to remove the east millwork to create an opening for a larger refrigerator. The millwork was then to be retrofitted and re-installed. Later on in the project, we found an antique Hoosier cabinet that worked better for our needs than the pre-existing millwork. We revised the design accordingly.
