A vintage chic New York City apartment, decorated with a beach and nautical theme.
Marie DiManno, director of the shop at the American Folk Art Museum in Manhattan, used to live in a beach house on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. But in 2010, six years after her husband's death, she decided to leave the beach and bought a two-bedroom co-op on the Upper West Side. Her vintage collections, of course, came with her. Some 40 vintage sand pails, 60 glass floats and more. The lady swimmer on the wall is a wooden sign from a 1930s motel.
One very interesting feature are the interior windows. You see from one room into another which makes the space feel very expansive.
Here a close up of the Vintage Beach Sand Pails. A selection of 18 pails, made between 1900 and the 1970s, are displayed in niches on either side of the sofa.
A concrete sailor that was probably made in the early 20th century as a garden ornament sits on the radiator cover.
And the ship is a vintage iron weather vane.
The vintage retro breakfast nook sports some of the beautiful fishing Glass Floats, neatly lined up on a tray. To read the full article and view more pictures, head over to the NY Times: Bringing the Beach to the Upper West Side.
