Tour this $3,350 Bohemian Brooklyn Loft

Name: Chyelle @FBookMarketSlut

Size: 970 sq ft
Type of Home: Loft, 2 Bedroom
Years Lived In: Renting, 4 years

This loft is its own piece of art. Chyelle (also known as FBookMarketSlut on Instagram) has created a layered, botanical, design forward space that overflows with quirky beauty and retro charm. Not only is the outcome stylish, it's a great example of furnishing an apartment by rehabilitating, recycling and conserving resources. It is not an exaggeration, nearly this entire apartment is furnished with Facebook Marketplace finds. Check out her IG for weekly curated finds in the tri-state area.

Since moving into her rented space, Chyelle (who lives with one roommate) has installed a glass block wall, renovated the bathroom (she got a tub!), removed a wall to create a dining space, installed a washer and dryer, retiled the kitchen counters and backsplash, designed two steel ladders to access the loft space, coordinated the building of a deck, added an archway in the foyer, and built a mini loft for her two cats, Qadir and Martin, among so many other projects.
Thanks, Chyelle, for sharing all of your finds with us!

MORE FROM APARTMENT THERAPY

[WishingThePanda]

As someone who grew up in a hoader home, she is not a hoarder. That's a psychological state in which the person hold onto things out of anxiety but also hates the conditions in which they leave. She enjoys her clutter, and it is clear that she cares for her items and places them with intention.

“Do something that is true to yourself” 100% the best advice for making your space your home 🏡

[hesherette]

this is seriously one of the most gorgeous spaces i've ever seen! she is an amazing artist in all sorts of different mediums, WOW!

[natbuchbinder]

Love the energy and uniqueness of this space. Down with minimalism!

[barbarawillis]

Loft spaces are ideal if you want to display collections of big art pieces, tapestries, rugs or quilts, and in Chyelle's world, chairs. Love the elevated platform built for storage. In a way, her home looks cozy to me. Love that her adorable kitty has plenty of space to run around in.

[CKism]

Such great taste. She has so many fun pieces and has put them together in such a cohesive way.

[heidibee]

I love the apartment. It is well thought out and complex. I also love the very active kitty.

[nohandle]

That's a tough space to work with, imo. No idea how she pulled this off, it's so gorgeous!! ❤ P.S. Please continue painting, you're so good!

[sumar]

Awesomely unique loft & sweet cat. Love this woman’s vivacity.

[gladysperez]

She has her own taste. She is able to live on a loft and place all of her things and still feels free to move around in her own home without walking on top of her items in a clean place. Goodness gracious it’s her place!

[kimmead]

A lot of stuff, but it doesn't look cluttered. All her plants look so healthy. Green thumb envy.

[wendynatter]

I love a home that is also your studio/creative space so there's no boundary between living and creating. One flows into the other seamlessly. So cool!

[joyceleonard]

Gorgeous apartment and love her fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing.

Amazing space filled with beautiful art while at the same time jumbled and disorganized .
Its giving college dorm on steroids
I’ve seen other artists lofts that look fabulous, and I don’t mean “expensive” just fabulously put together.

[jocosus]

When I think of "NYC chic" - Chyelle and this apartment is my ideal. #Kudos

[LittlePinkPiggy]

I absolutely adore this loft. I think I could move in tomorrow and not change a thing. There is something about eclectic homes which is just so comforting.

[IoBletzaki]

You are an amazing painter! Don't give up creating! Keep on!!!! I love your portraits

[EdelweisSusie]

Very homely and she’s made use of every square inch of space. I’d place a rectangular rug in front of the sofa to make it even more of a snug area, and a rectangular glass-topped coffee table on top of the rug would look gorgeous too. Well done!

[thisis.michelletorres]

It's interesting, that's for sure! Great for artists. I'm a minimalist so it was hard to watch 😅but good for her, she's enjoying it!
