Designers, Developers, and Architects to Revitalize Historic
Brownstone
The 7th Annual REAL SIMPLE HOME Will Open to
the Public for Tours In September
NEW
YORK, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- REAL
SIMPLE is bringing its seventh annual REAL SIMPLE
HOME to a historic four-level brownstone from the 1890s in
Brooklyn, NY, and will open to the
public this fall. Over the next few months, a team of talented
designers, architects, and developers will work with REAL SIMPLE
editors to infuse the home with stunning designs, one-of-a-kind
storage solutions, and inspiring ideas. The 2024 REAL SIMPLE HOME
will be revealed in the October 2024
issue, featured on RealSimple.com, and open to the public with
tours starting in late September.
"This year's REAL SIMPLE HOME is a time capsule of a place. The
130-year-old Brooklyn beauty has
great bones and our team of superstar designers is going to reflect
that, accentuate it, and make it even better as a whole. We can't
wait to bring our readers something that they haven't seen before,
all while delivering the beautiful design ideas and smart
organization ideas we're known for," said Lauren Iannotti, REAL SIMPLE Editor in Chief
To bring the 2024 REAL SIMPLE HOME to life, the brand has
enlisted a dynamic lineup of interior designers, organizers, and
developers, including: Barry
Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of
the Brownstone Boys, Brooklyn Grange, Jessica Davis, Amber
Guyton, Hema Persad,
Jasmine Roth, Mikel Welch, and Neat Method. The architecture
team is Alexandra Burr and Allen
Slamic with AlexAllen Studio and the developer is Adam Dahill.
"We are thrilled to partner with REAL SIMPLE as designers for
this year's REAL SIMPLE HOME! Historic brownstones are our
speciality so we can't wait to breathe new life into the entire
parlor floor of this year's exquisite 19th century home. Brace
yourself for a treasure trove of design delights—we can't wait to
unveil our vision for this incredible space," said Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of the Brownstone Boys.
Drawing inspiration from its historic roots and distinctive
charm, REAL SIMPLE editors and the team of designers and developers
will infuse the space with personality, style, and details that pay
homage to its heritage while adding a fresh, contemporary twist.
The backyard area designed by Brooklyn Grange will use both
hardscaping and landscaping to create an entertaining space with a
raised deck, dining space, and native plants to honor the area.
Throughout the home, the cozy rooms will be infused with smart
storage and organization strategies that readers can incorporate
into their own spaces.
The home is located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of
Brooklyn, NY, an area that was
first established in the 1600's. Key features of the home include
storied architectural details like original molding and flooring,
five fireplaces, and a spacious backyard. With sustainability in
mind, the team will also repurpose items from other brownstones in
the neighborhood of that time period and salvage stain glass that
was originally seen in the home's early days. At the same time, the
home will be revamped with modern appliances and reimagined spaces
to be functional for today's modern family.
"I am so excited to show everyone what brownstone living is all
about. There's nothing more I love than bringing these special
homes back to life. Mixing old world craftsmanship with modern
amenities is my speciality and I am truly honored to be a part of
the project and I hope everyone enjoys the journey as much as I
do," said Adam Dahill, developer of
the home.
Eight sponsors have already signed on and will be featured in
the REAL SIMPLE HOME, including Command™ Brand, If You Care,
Minted, NOW Solutions, Pilot Pen, Spoonflower, TimberTech, and
Valspar®. In the past seven years, previous iterations of the REAL
SIMPLE HOME have been held in Florida, New
Jersey, and across New York
City. The 2023 REAL SIMPLE HOME took place at a city
penthouse apartment with waterfront views in Brooklyn Heights.
