In this week’s episode, Michael and Mabel introduce their home, a top-floor unit in a 1930s three-story walk-up. Surrounded by nature, the couple moved in a year ago, appreciating the blend of an older building style with their lifestyle.
Their two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment spans 1,340 square feet, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and ample storage.
The interior is designed around their “mid-century kampong” aesthetic, a blend of vintage and rustic elements.
The open-plan living and dining areas foster social interaction, with the living room intentionally free of a TV, focusing instead on conversation.
Their vintage furniture, mostly sourced secondhand, reflects their love for treasure hunting, complemented by reupholstered acorn chairs and a custom-built coffee table.
Artwork collected from their travels enhances the space, adding personal and global narratives. The balcony, at the tree line, offers a tranquil, forest-like retreat, ideal for morning coffee and hosting gatherings.
Their kitchen, notable for its spaciousness, allows the couple to cook together comfortably.
The apartment’s decor, including a mix of dark taupe and bright red walls, adds intimacy and vibrancy, aligning with their eclectic art collection and evolving style.
