Tour a Quirky Brooklyn Apartment Full of DIYs

Industrial designer Sam Ushiro shares a beautifully quirky Brooklyn apartment with her husband, photographer Kyle Larsen. Sam and Kyle work together as the masterminds behind the blog Aww Sam.

The space’s unique design elements are born from the couple’s love for DIY projects. When you step into the apartment, there doesn’t seem to a be a single space that doesn’t have a handmade element.

First on the list is the floor. Running throughout the apartment are light and bright vinyl planks covering the original wood floors. These planks stick to themselves rather than the floor beneath them, making them a perfect solution for renters looking to personalize their space.

The kitchen area is stunning in its simplicity. White cabinets, faux marble countertops and a green subway tile backsplash leave the space feeling clean and orderly. Like the rest of the home, the kitchen is not short on DIY solutions.
