BROOKLYN LUXE
“This duplex dweller with three young children had a dream. Well, actually, many…Cue the fairy godmother of decorating, Jenny Dina Kirschner, principal of JDK interiors and fellow Brooklynite…Like any wish maker worth her sparkles, Kirschner has the best resources at her fingertips – an orbit of exclusive tiles, fabrics, lighting and furniture mixed with retro and Target finds…for good measure.”

“My client was aching for height in her living room. They had very low ceilings,’ explains Kirschner. With a little magic and a lot of hard work, she had the second-floor bedroom walls (thick concrete slabs) moved back about 12 feet to create space for a soaring ceiling that holds, like a royal jewel, a Lladro porcelain chandelier.”

“Her [Jenny Dina Kirschner’s] mantra: ‘Things can’t just be beautiful. They have to be practical.’ The vintage library ladder in the mudroom rolls to reach the higher pistachio-green cabinets – and the bench, with silvery bolsters, is pretty but it is also where kids sit to pull on boots…”

“Kirschner sees potential where others may not.”

“The client wanted a whimsical bunk bedroom for her daughter – for future sleepovers. Kirschner redid the small, narrow space, adding a staircase with built-in drawers for treasures and reading lights at every bunk that turn on when extended.”
