Name: Christina Salway https://www.instagram.com/christinasa... https://www.11211design.com/ Location: Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York Size: 2800 SQ FT Type of Home: Brownstone, owns Christina Salway's home is not small by any stretch of the imagination, and it's not the typical type of home we feature on Apartment Therapy, but when our House Tour Director, Adrienne, shared her remarkable story and the gorgeous photos, we couldn't resist reaching out to Christina for a video tour. And sure enough the interior designer and home restoration expert was a wealth of knowledge, sharing practical tips for how to work with contractors, how to source high-end tile on a budget, and how to manage expectations during construction. Touring her beautiful home is a feast for the eyes and oh so inspiring. Christina says, “When design is your passion, everywhere you go there’s information and inspiration. Be thirsty and curious…See art in everything.” With this philosophy, Christina and her husband John restored this Greenpoint brownstone using their hard-earned renovation skills, her love for antiques, and her flair for good storytelling.
