🏡We got a chance to check out the @brooklynheightsassociation Designer Showhouse and it was so gorgeous! 

Every other year, the Brooklyn Heights Association takes over a historic Brooklyn Heights brownstone and selects cutting-edge designers to showcase their work in each room. Not only do you get to tour this amazing brownstone, but you also see how each local designer transformed their space. From silk wallpaper to custom molding to the @mudaustralia dinnerware, the home is full of design details that will make you swoon.

Plus, one of our very own Atlantic Avenue businesses, @shapelessstudio , designed the mud room, including the dreamy custom mural

🎟️The Showhouse is open now until November 3rd. Buy a ticket or book a tour at brooklyndesignershowhouse.com. And thank you to @cosbar for providing goodie bags for Showhouse attendees! #brooklynheights #interiordesign #brooklyndesign #atlanticave
