Brownstone Dining - Beauty's Of Era's Past

Brownstone Dining room inspiration. As a real estate agent I see many types of homes. And I can appreciate both traditional and modern living. Today I am in the brownstone mood, what with so many gorgeous brownstones in Hoboken and Jersey City, and found some pictures of inspiration for you to enjoy on this beautiful Saturday.

I absolutely love this photo (image from thepresidentwearsprada.com). The dark wood paneling against the white linen walls are so classic and gracious!

And this one is so fabulous! It's traditional but with a modern and rustic edge. Don't have exposed brick? Fake it like in this photo! Gorgeous! (image from chadbstreet.com)

And finally, this white twist. So chic. I love that they chose to paint the wood floors white and the brick all white. It just screams modern but it has awesome texture and a nice organic feel. Love it. (image from dwell.com)


What's your favorite? Are you decorating a dining room in a traditional space? What's your inspiration!

Hoboken Brownstone Condo With Roof Terrace

Hoboken Brownstone Condo With Roof Terrace


Check out this new listing by Hudson Place Realty. This is probably one of the nicest condo's I've seen. It has a proper kitchen for this size a home, lots of windows (I love natural light and so do buyers) and it has an incredible roof deck plus, something so uncommon for Hudson Street Brownstones, it has an actual garage attached to the building.

I previewed this property on Tuesday. It is a spacious three bedroom plus den duplex with another wood staircase leading to a beautiful over-sized roof deck with views of the park and the Hudson River. I think it's priced very well, except, the property taxes are hard to swallow at $21K

What do you think?
Here is a link to the actual listing (Will pop up as a broker MLS print out).
