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.
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.
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!!!😍
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 !!
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?
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 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!
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!!!!
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!
love the stories behind her paintings
Bravo to the women in the marketplace! These women are independent business owners. Beautiful home!
The apartment conveys her personality so well! Both she and her apartment are gorgeous!!
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.
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.
I love how her vision transformed this space that was in need of a lot of TLC. It's now a fabulous, artful home.
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.
This place is gorgeous! The wall color in every room is perfect!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
What a beautiful classy creative lady.
I love the colours and sense of style.
Kindest wishes and happiness from New Zealand
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!
Both she and her home are stunning!
Such a beautiful woman and space!
Yes! This is such a beautiful home. The brightness of the rooms also reminds me of how my Mexican home was decorated as a child.
The host has my dream job. I love looking at homes and to interview the owners is icing on the cake.
I adore her home! Literally my dream home!
Stunning - her, her home, her art, her vibe!
An other Nola Darling gat to have it all, I love it!! Go Sister Go!!!
Absolutely love seeing women of color living, flourishing and enjoying life. More of this please!!!
what an inspiration! just beautiful. .. you, your art, and your home.
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.
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!!!!!
Red door, purple bedroom, amazing art, and visible washer and dryer in the kitchen. Interesting and cozy, I love it.
Beautiful, and so inspiring. Love her vibe! ♥️
I admire people that do renovations like these
Loved! Please, more black creatives!❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s beautiful how she sees the paintings on the walls as Saints. ♥️
The best home I’ve see thus far on this channel.
The bedroom color is PERFECTION. So much beautiful color throughout the home. Love it!
Each room in my house has a different color! I love what she created. So serene and joyful. BEAUTIFUL!!
~"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!
Her collection of art is so perfect, her home is stunning.
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.
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.
Such beautiful, tranquil inspiring colours! Love how Malene's earrings match the woman's in the paintings. She truly lives her art!
My husband and I are in the process of fully gutting the 1st level of our home. We both want vibrant colors on the walls. This is beautiful. Thank you sista ❤❤. Beautiful done 🤚🤚.
So much beauty in her, her home, & the art 💙💚🧡. I want to see more homes of black people 🖤🖤🖤.
Yaassss!!
I LOVE THIS!! I love seeing black women living in their truth and authenticity. She made that house a home and did it beautifully! I aspire to have my future home reflect my heritage and personality. She's an inspiration :)
This is the home decor style I have waited for...
The bedroom was my favorite!
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!
That painting behind her is magical. So beautiful.
she looks like a painting herself...painting come alive..so sweet..
What a delightfully cheery space.....definitely tasteful and true to our heritage.
BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED STYLE, GRACE, & ELEGANCE
I love how alive her home is with the colors and art work. 😊
So much YES in this space. every space exudes the confidence of its owner and creator. it speaks to me!
Very very tasteful. I think this is the best decorated brownstone townhouse I seen and I'm obsessed with how people decorate them on RUclips.
honestly this house touched my soul... just beautiful!
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
Wow! Love her taste. Such a beautiful dwelling!
I really do adore her story and I'm crushing on those wooden sculptures...Blessed you are 🦋
Such wonderful colours!
Greetings from Las Vegas! I am totally in love with her bathroom,from features to mirrors. Just super! She has a peculiar way of decorating but it all works out. There are many different colors in her decor and it comes together nicely cause she uses pastel colors.By the way, I'm Caribbean too. I'm Cuban American.
What a beautiful home! Love the color and especially the artwork!
I love cold colors, with warm touches!
Beautiful! I'm from Brooklyn and I truly can relate to those Brownstones... Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love this, like, the yellow stares, bright colours the art, everything has a personality. Love it!
love the strength of the women on the wall!
I love her and her work! She’s so inspiring and just absolutely fabulous!
One of the most elegant and beautifully done houses in the series, a lot of the episodes have overdone campy decor but she’s really placed everything with intent absolutely beautiful
Love this video, loved this artist, loved the content on her house!
She's such an amazing artist, I ❤❤❤❤❤❤💚🖤 her home.
A delightful home for a most charming person!
Gorgeous Space.
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.
I'm so inspired when I see such beauty. A Rose truly grew in Brooklyn with this.
the colors in this house are absolutely stunning
Love the bright colors, her artistic style n love of her heritage❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful! I love her rugs!
I love it. So much life and vibrance. Definitely has a Caribbean feel. Sunny and full of happiness.
Her home is so vibrant and inspiring!!!!!! I love it!
Talent and taste - the artwork is fantastic! En mi mundo dios es una mujer negra. Respetos.
What beautiful color and style!!! Fabulous!
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.
This is so inspiring and the pastel colour’s she used for her wall is therapeutic!
Love it. Love it. I feel like I traveled to paradise peeking inside your home. Thanks for sharing.
I wanted to see more of Malene's home because it's so beautiful. This is a small snippet of a unique aesthetic design. I love color especially on walls but since I'm a renter, the rules are different. Would love to know more about her tiles because they are fantastic. Malene is truly talented and I applaud her.
I am a middle aged white American man, and I love your home. It is beautiful.
This place is gorgeous! Love the spaciousness, style and decoration of it! Color always makes a place a home! Be safe everyone! 💕
Awesome art collection
She's speaking my language. I love love love everything about it! I love the fresh, bright color palette and artwork.
Her home was so refreshing. As a young artist, I find her truly inspiring! ❤️🙌🏽
She takes the term "people of color" to a whole new level. Love everything about this video! 😍😍😍
Her home is lovely, it looks like a space in the Caribbean with beautiful colors. I would love to have those pieces in my home one day...
Aaaah she's so pretty, 😍 everything is beautiful we need more people like her embracing culture.
