Freeze Frame 1983: A Bold Transformation from Time Capsule to Chic Modern Luxury

This apartment was a true time capsule—purchased and decorated in 1982, it had been used maybe once a year since then. The space was enormous, yet it felt frozen in time. As I walked through, I saw its potential: it needed a bold, editorial touch—something that felt "safari meets Vogue magazine."

With strategic staging, refined design choices, and a fresh perspective, the apartment transformed into a chic, aspirational space. The result? A fast sale at a significantly higher price than previous sales in the building, proving that the right vision makes all the difference.
