Black, booked and busy! Please give us more black people living their best lives in their wonderful homes
Candice Brown-Brathwaite Black, booked and busy! So beautifully and succinctly expressed. I totally agree with your desire to see more black people living their best lives in their homes
Yes 😊 darling.
And Universe make me one of them!!✊🏾✌🏾
That part! 😀
@Candice Brown-Brathwaithe:I was thinking the exact same thing!!!🥰👍🏾
I’m not the jealous type, but DAMN she is living the dream as an artist; to fully fund your home with your talent and live in a home reflective of your design style 👏🏼
ADOS
Yes. Forget the dream home. The dream life. Well done Malene.
More Black creatives! I love seeing how the Afro-descendent diaspora translates their various cultures into their home decor :)
Yes!!! I went the cream/beige route. Inspired by the sands of the Caribbean and the Behr color coconut twist for my Caribbean roots, I brought in black frames and decor, and added pops of color using artwork, floral arrangements, plants, and print and bold color pillows, and texture using linen, woven basket, etc.. I like her house. It would have been nice to know the sources of her artwork since I would like to start investing in some.
I agree! And I love the way you said that!
Reminds me of brown stones on lefferts
Her house is lovely, the colors are so warm, the art spread across the house is beautiful, such a welcoming home!
Yes please!!!😍
I have been staring at those blue doors for years and wanting to know what was inside. The change to the facade of the house alone was pretty epic! I am so so happy to finally see the beautiful interior and owner!! My neighborhood rocks!
I’ve done a photo shoot in her brownstone... super dope.
Very pretty! Unlike the constant barrage of sterile white and beige we often get
@isobel64
Well there's a new color on the Sherwin Williams block 'greige'... that's grey & beige... aka*boring. I need colors in my life...
isobel64 exactly 👍🏾
I agree.
Color adds character.
I am considering painting my kitchen red. Not sure what shade, muted or bold but I am going for it, LoL.
LoveMusic4652 you go for it baby. Colors does enhance one personality 🤓
Exactly !!! The neighbors house looks like..the other neighbors house which looks like....yeah !!
This home is so sunny, one would think they were in the islands.
Had the absolute pleasure of staying in her parlor level Airbnb before moving to NYC in December 2017 and it was just as beautiful, her attention to bright colors and small details was so fresh!
As a polynesian woman I absolutely LOVE your style. So vibrant and rich with soul. I was getting sick of the whole "white on white" trend that everybody seems to be doing at the moment, this is so re-freshing!
Yessssss
L Bee, I completely agree with you; I don't like the hospital white either. I love her aesthetic.😁
I don’t know why but I started crying looking at this beautiful picture of that market woman. It’s outstanding beautiful. It has a soul.
Sues Anna the painting is beautiful and definitely draws your eyes to it. Its powerful and stunning. And I love the description by the homeowner!
Please. Stop lying for attention.
@Dream Dream Serene Edgy.
It's that painting that made me click on the video!
I love seeing my Caribbean people do well 🇯🇲🇹🇹🇺🇲
Ari Entyse this was exact thought. The use of color really shows 🌸🌸🌸
@@akualikewater Right?! The funny thing is my father used the same color in our house. He has bright yellows, blues, and reds throughout. Same with my Grandma's house! Her house in the video instantly made me feel at home! 💙
Ari Entyse nice ! There is something so uplifting about this color and decor. I wish this sort of interior design was popular in the states :)
You forgot the Haitian flag
@@akualikewater Absolutely!!!! It is just a shame that we all do not think that way; can you imagine if we did!!!!
I miss houses with a different color in every room. You have brought the Caribbean to your home. Beautiful! It reminds me of life back in the West Indies.
Tell it, girl!!!! Me too!!! Since I was 18, I was aware that "COLOR" is the eye sights aromatherapy!!! 🌅🌄🌌🗼
I have decorated, painted every room in my home a different color. My kitchen, a bright yellow!!
@mizzmolly me too!
Being a black student in interior design most of my peers are white , definitely due to my location. I'm excited to get in the field and be surrounded by people who are more diverse. I love her initiative .
Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw those awesome door handles on the bathroom doors. Just magnificent!
Red door, purple bedroom, amazing art, and visible washer and dryer in the kitchen. Interesting and cozy, I love it.
The apartment conveys her personality so well! Both she and her apartment are gorgeous!!
I am an Australian woman living in an old Queenslander in the wet tropics. Getting ready to paint walls, ooohhh yummmmy, I've found my colour pallet, thanking you. Wonderful paintings too.
love the stories behind her paintings
Bravo to the women in the marketplace! These women are independent business owners. Beautiful home!
I admire people that do renovations like these
Beautiful Black woman, I wish you peace and joy in your lovely home. Inspiring to see ownership by a sister in gentrified Brooklyn.
Ola Ronke Do you seriously not think this person is gentrifying her neighborhood by kicking our squatters and renovating?
Will Robinson is that a joke ?
Well looks like it depends on whether you define gentrification as a cultural effect or an economical one.
@@willrobinson5097 if i purchase a home that is most likely in the milllion dollar range i’m gonna kick you out.. what makes u think it’s okay for them to live in her house?
She's so classy. I love her home. And she's pretty, too.
OMG I love that yellow velvet sofa soooo much. What a beautiful home for a beautiful spirit.
Very very tasteful. I think this is the best decorated brownstone townhouse I seen and I'm obsessed with how people decorate them on UA-cam.
Beautiful! I'm from Brooklyn and I truly can relate to those Brownstones... Thanks for sharing!
I clicked just to get a better glimpse of that beautiful painting in the thumbnail. I can’t stop staring at the lovely colors. The blues, the greens. I’m mesmerized.
Such a beautiful woman and space!
Beautiful home w/ beautiful colors...from Napa Valley CA
Aaaah she's so pretty, 😍 everything is beautiful we need more people like her embracing culture.
Lovely It's So You🤗 Cozy and Inviting. Very Rich in Culture. Nice👍
I adore her home! Literally my dream home!
As an artist and decorator myself, I think her use of color is masterful.
I especially liked how her outfit was used to coordinate with the decor.
So beautiful and unique. No white walls with gray furniture and blandness. Color but in an artistically controlled way. Wow.
The Home Is Beautiful and so is she
This place is gorgeous! The wall color in every room is perfect!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how her vision transformed this space that was in need of a lot of TLC. It's now a fabulous, artful home.
Her collection of art is so perfect, her home is stunning.
Ugh, so beautiful!! I’m not usually into bright colors, but I would totally live there (or have her decorate my place).
I thought the same exact thing! 😊
Agreed! Absolutely beautiful, love this woman's entire aesthetic.
Both she and her home are stunning!
What a beautiful classy creative lady.
I love the colours and sense of style.
Kindest wishes and happiness from New Zealand
Loved! Please, more black creatives!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love seeing women of color living, flourishing and enjoying life. More of this please!!!
The host has my dream job. I love looking at homes and to interview the owners is icing on the cake.
Colours are almost frowned upon in the current trends. I love all the colour and warmth in that beautiful home. The artwork is incredible too. Love the stories behind them!
The bedroom color is PERFECTION. So much beautiful color throughout the home. Love it!
what an inspiration! just beautiful. .. you, your art, and your home.
Wow .. beautiful home.. I love the entrance blue versus yellow walls..a pastel dream.. especially that the painting continues onto the ceilings!
Her bedroom and bathroom are goals! Such a stunning home reflecting a stunning woman.
I love this! 💕 Such a visionary. Her style is amazing.
Remarkable woman, remarkable house, remarkable art. A lesson for all those people, interior designers, decorators with the trendy works and the lack of soul. Thumbs up!!!!!
Each room in my house has a different color! I love what she created. So serene and joyful. BEAUTIFUL!!
That painting behind her is magical. So beautiful.
I love how the painting behind her looks like it's casting a darker blue shadow. It's not intended to be mistaken for an actual shadow because the blue tone is too vivid. She wants you to see right away that's an artistic concept. It's so minimalistic yet so creative.
Awesome art collection
~"As a creative person...we have vision."👈🤗
Spoken like a true artist.
I love it.😄
Very true. I can find the beauty and/or potential in anything.
Great job. Stunning home.
The painting on the wall behind her is stunning!
Stunning - her, her home, her art, her vibe!
Beautiful, and so inspiring. Love her vibe! ♥️
What a warm, glowy home. Very beautiful story and owner. Bravo!
Jahnes Love. This is sii lovely!!! So proud of myCaribbean people in Brooklyn for building it down and for not giving up on their roots. This gorgeous renovated house is a space we dreamed of dwelling in as children and this beautiful and talented sistah has made it real! I Love those paintings of the market women! She should fi a children's story book! And, if the J train goes to that street or block than I think that I was a squatter there invited by a Guyanese Rastas bredren sometime in December 2011 when I first came back to NYC. There was a woman squatter upstasirs and the rasta was downstairs. The staircase and entrance are very familiar. Blessed Love.
What a beautiful home, art and such a gorgeous lady.
Absolutely stunning. That bathroom!!! The hand-painted art, her handmade tile designs!! Everything was exceptional. I also love how she explained the women in her artwork. Many times women of African descent are painted and described with such sorrow, but she flipped it! I wish the tour was longer!
This home is jaw dropping. It's curated but not cold, full of light and bright, but not bland. It feels attainable as its not an 18 be mega mansion. I loooooove all the color and decor. It just feels... Happy.
Beautiful black woman and home, very eclectic and inspirational! Love the beautiful colors in each room! 😊 ❤️
I loved how inviting your home is. I love the colors and the flow! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Dreams do come true.
I am in deeeeeeeep love... This is perfect inspiration for my future home!!!
So much beauty in her, her home, & the art 💙💚🧡. I want to see more homes of black people 🖤🖤🖤.
Yaassss!!
The best home I’ve see thus far on this channel.
The touches of yellow,mustard and joy 👑

What a beautiful and inspiring home. The style, art work, sculptures and creativity took my breath away. Absolutely brilliant, this is what a home should look like, not the dull beige homes that seem to be the norm. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us
She's speaking my language. I love love love everything about it! I love the fresh, bright color palette and artwork.
