Uptown Chic

I've lived in my apartment for 12 years. Its in a great area of NYC's,Manhattan, Harlem neighborhood. Harlem has become the best neighborhood on the island of Manhattan to reside. My one bedroom apartment is chic-ness to the core. Decorated in earth tones (soft golds, coppers, chocolates, lush blues) with a hint of ethnic charm. The space is large enough to host 10 people comfortably as I have done so for the holidays. Its warm feel is welcoming/inviting and beckons "I feel like I am home" from visitors.
