Artshot: Mimi Vang Olsen, West Village

Whether you've seen her cards and calenders in stores or you've passed by her neighborhood fixture of a studio on Hudson in the West Village- you've probably contemplated having your pets portrait done by Mimi Vang Olsen. Her style is based on itinerate american folk paintings of the 19th century and she, after years of doing this work, is a master. Remarkably detailed with lyrical forms and patterns, her custom pet portraits are truly making the trip to her studio to see- not to mention, she's very charming!

Gothic Touch: Inspired by the Churchyard

Inspired by the church view of the East Village two bedroom I showed you Monday, I've decided to divulge some secret obsessions: Darryl Carter and Gothic / Gothic Revival Decor. As I've been searching, I find it's no wonder that Mr. Carter is a fav- juxtaposing traditional forms and styles with a clean, modern palate, making every element in the room seem scupltural and important. What I've shown of Mr. Carter's has gothic elements that highlight what he does best.  I'm not one for excess ornamentation, but I do love the quality of craftsmanship (let's face it, laquered fiberboard is a bit soulless) and the patina of a historic piece.

Down by the Churchyard: East Village

This is a great opportunity to rent on one of the prettiest (and truthfully, most convenient) corners in the East Village. Listed as a two bedroom (it's railroaded), I think this is a perfect unit for a single or a couple that would like an extra room for an office or for storage. It's a side unit, so there are windows in every room and french doors-  light and bright. The price is great for the area, so give me a call if your in the market to take a look!

Location: East Village

Special Features: Lovely Views, French Doors, Incredible Location, One Flight Walk-up
