In the entry area, a garden stool—for Kim to put on and off shoes or use as extra seating in the living area—can be neatly tucked away beneath the console, and a woven basket offers extra storage.

Statement Pieces

A show-stopping entry, anchored by a heavy-set mirrored console and an opulent sunburst mirror, sets the tone in the apartment. “Storage wasn’t an issue in the living area so I looked for pieces that felt clean yet bold to really carve out an entry area, ” Andrew explains. “Because we went with a mirrored console, I chose a mirror where the focus was more on the frame for visual balance. Pairing bold pieces like these together is a great way to set apart any space in an open floor plan.”

A vintage marble-top table centers the dining area. “Since it’s a small dining space, I went with a circular table so that there’s room to move around it, ” Andrew explains.

Vintage Cool

The vintage marble table was the furniture piece that everything was built around. The slope-arm chairs (to reiterate the table’s round form) and silver-frame mirror (to reflect light and give the illusion of more space) help round out the dining space along with an unexpected cluster pendant. “They’re a contemporary, fun juxtaposition to the vintage table, and it’s a fun way to mix aesthetics, ” Andrew says.

But beyond just vintage good looks, Andrew knew the table was perfect for Kim. “I love cooking and always have people over, ” says Kim, who’s finally ready to entertain more at home in her new dining space. “It’s her first dining room, ” adds Andrew. “I wanted her to have a table that’s durable and has longevity, and this is a piece that could move with her to other places in the future.”
