Montgomery Place Townhouse The unique and exclusive property on Montgomery Place, located between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West, was designed in 1898 by the architecture firm Babb, Cook & Willard. It contains an expansive seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two powder rooms. The firm was simultaneously working on the East 91st Street Andrew Carnegie Mansion during the period, and ensured the 30.5’ wide limestone at Montgomery Place would boast landmark historic details, including six fireplaces, an original Otis elevator, and a grand spiral staircase running across the four floors. After a two and half year renovation, which had modernized the home – adding five skylights, a wood burning fireplace, an outfitted butler’s kitchen and Waterworks fixtures throughout – the landmark mansion was sold in 2014. DHD Architecture and Interior Design were hired by the buyers, a young family who had moved from their Tribeca Loft, to further renovate and create a fresh, modern home, without compromising the structure’s historic features. The interiors were designed with a chic, bold, yet warm aesthetic in mind, mixing vibrant palettes into livable spaces.

I mean, I could just sit in this dining room all day… its just so dreamy! A large part of that had to do with change in wall color (Beachglass by Benjamin Moore) and the lightening of the furniture. While before this room sported a traditional, wood dining table and chairs we tweaked the arrangement by painting the dining table (Pure White by Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan, with a thin layer of the dark wax) and trading in the old chairs for new woven ones. This is a great design tip for anyone on a budget! Keep your dining room table (as is or updated with a coat of paint) and then freshen things up with a set of new chairs. You can have a of the chairs the same or have the end two stand-out, like we did with these woven wing-back chairs.
