Location: Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY
Size: 450 Sq Ft / 42 Sq Meters
Type of Home: Studio
Years Lived In: Owned, 1 year
As one of the original team members at the real estate company Compass and with over 20 years of real estate experience, Jason Saft (@StagedtoSellHome) who also founded and owns the professional staging company Stage To Sell Home, knows what to look for in potential homes. In 2022, Saft toured an open studio apartment a couple of blocks from where he lived. He was already familiar with the building and described it as “like something out of a movie with its quiet lush street position.” Since moving in, he’s restored the home to its original prestige without fully renovating it. One of his proudest design accomplishments was updating the kitchen by placing new flooring, adding removable wallpaper, and painting the cabinets. He describes the new space as “sexy grandma.”

Wow! His decor skills are great . I love how he skillfully created assigned sections of the apartment, but it feels open.
I think he’s a designer. So yea!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! jason
I want him to decorate my place in NYC! One of the most tasteful homes I’ve ever seen and I’m extremely picky. Chefs kiss ✨
I love your unrenovated apartment. 😊
Thank you!! @@LovelornLoveThorns
Original condition of the bathroom is so desirable! Dont change it! Its lovely
This is such an inspiring video. Jason has taken a 450 sq. ft. old apartment and made into an oasis. As you look at the space, it feels like it is much bigger than what it is. He has used every inch of space to his advantage -- showcasing all his lovely art and all of his other prized possessions. He also made great use of the vertical space in his closet. His daughter's room is lovely; all her toys are near her. He looks like he is probably a great dad. By observing his gentle manner, I am sure that he is. He seems very patient and attentive. He may have not renovated the bathroom or kitchen, but you would never know by seeing what he created in both those rooms. Kudos to Jason! I hope that we can witness more videos as he does his renovations.

@@lindarodrigues7365 What does that mean?
thank you for watching. it's been a really fun process and Liora enjoys critiquing where everything goes.
My place is twice as big, has half as much furniture, and feels more cluttered and significantly less interesting. I definitely took some notes here.
Omg don’t touch that original bathroom. The fixtures, especially the sink and laundry cabinet, are magical!
My favorite thing about it is that many times when people live in small spaces, the space ends up looking like an ad for The Container Store! This is a nice study on how to use full sized art and furniture to make a small space feel cozy. Yet he still manages to pack it with great space savers!
Go Big! Go Home. :)
Don't you dare renovate your Bathroom. It's classic and one of a kind! I/we love it! ❤
I absolutely love the non-renovated spaces, like the kitchen & the bathroom. I think they make the apartment seem more authentic. I love everything about this home. His style is perfection. Great job!!
very authentic...and kinda busted. lol. one day will renovate.
Same. I’m not sure much needs changing in either of those spaces.
I agree wholeheartedly!
I agree, I wouldn't touch the bathroom or kitchen, they are beautiful and I love the old fixtures, so authentic, keep keep keep
@@deirdremcdonnell9848 The bathroom door is opening out to the living room which is not good. It needs to be changed so that it opens into the bathroom - avery minor change but will make a huge difference aesthetic-wise.
Please never renovate that bathroom!!!
Exactly, it's fantastic!
A beautiful example of how an artistic, carefully designed space can also feel super personalized and homey. I love this.
thank you so much!
@StagedToSellHomeNY Oh, you're very welcome! All the praise your lovely home is getting in this comment section is well-deserved. All the best.
The high ceilings are awesome for making things feel less cramped. It really is luxe and relaxing, and what a great education in art that daughter is getting!
Such a masterful use of space! This apartment is beautifully decorated, and it seems so much larger than it is. Great job! ❤
thank you! It's been a process to get it all to work, but have enjoyed every minute of it. Jason
You are out of your MIND if you change one thing in that stunning, period bathroom. What a treasure that is.
I absolutely love “ un-renovated” it is so charming and I love the originality of it all because it just gives the space that je ne sais quoi that it needs. It’s such an oasis. It truly feels like home.
Refreshing. Unpretentious, honest, warm man with a beautiful design style for his own home. understanding what home means to you particularly when you’ve had childhood instability is so important…this means not buying into what anyone else tells you your home should look like or be. security, comfort, stability, a place to gather and spend time with the people you love, where you can be yourself and be your creative self while feeing supported is actually a harder life to build than it sounds. I love this apartment and this man’s humility. 👌🏽🥳🌸
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about his apartment! Everything is so beautifully curated, and there's an almost hyptotizing visual flow throughout the entire space. And how he has made space for his daughter and her things! 💕 This is instantly one of my favorite AT tours of all time. 🙌
awwww, thank you!
Oh snap - didn't realize this video was posted so recently! I got emotional when he talked about how much he loves just hanging with his daughter at the coffee table playing together. Love his story of moving around a lot and not really having a space to call home growing up, so this place being extra special and deep for him. I really enjoyed this tour and am inspired by how these designers and professionals make their places their own and encourage us to do the same while sharing some of their tips like blending colors, intentional contrast, textures, etc.
its the best time. We just started using the fireplace. :)
This might be my favourite Apartment Therapy video ever! I love that Jason didn't wait until everything was perfect and then do the video, it would have been so easy to hold off until the kitchen and bathroom were done. Instead, it felt so personal and you could really see how his life was reflected in his design choices. Definitely got a lot of tips for my own place too!
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it.
Also: I really hope he keeps the renovations minimal. It’s a gorgeous space - INCLUDING the Disco Bathroom!
Great apartment. Love that he made a space for his daughter to feel safe and to feel that she has privacy.
we have a lot of fun in here.
_What_ privacy?!?!?
The yard and street are great. So glad he appreciates his home and the stability it brings.
It’s crazy that he painted the original dark wood trim white.
"home is embracing what you have, enjoying the moment" - now that is perfectly said! we all should have this gratitude for our home, whatever condition it is, at least we have one!
I loved how he called his place a mansion. Personally I needed motivation, to get my place better organized. This was so inspiring to see. Taking notes. ❤
I really love how he decorated his home. He made the space look larger and I love his unique touches.
thank you so much. greatly appreciated.
@@StagedToSellHomeNY you’re welcome!
Beautiful. My favorites are the unrenovated bathroom and kitchen.
Love everything, especially how he thought about protecting his daughter from being exposed to the cold! So sweet
Any parent should be doing that. 🤷🏽♀️
That's really the bare minimum to expect from a parent. Meanwhile, he didn't secure the mirror to the wall so it could easily fall on her head, and there's a lot of inappropriate sex-related art everywhere. Not so sweet.
@@lsamoaThere are no unanchored mirrors. As for the artwork, the paintings and scultures are classical in style, no different from what you'd find in a museum. There is nothing inappropriate or shameful about the human form or sexuality. His daughter will grow up with a healthy attitude toward such things and an eye for beauty. Perfect.
@@SheilaR.08 Do seriously you not see the mirror moving when he leans against it at 06:23 or are you just trolling?? That mirror is NOT properly anchored to the wall. If it were it wouldn't move one bit.
And no, exposing children to explicit sexual content is NOT appropriate, it's downright creepy and concerning. It's incredible that this even needs to be said. What is wrong with you??
@lsamoa Do you honestly see no difference between classical sculptures or paintings of the nude figure, and "explicitly sexual" imagery? Like, the nude figure paintings he has are replicas of art that hangs in the damn Louvre.
In these precarious times, Jason has fashioned a warm creative space for himself, and his daughter. His design talents, plus his loveand appreciation for what he has, makes it a home.
thank. you! it's really a special place.
This is the BEST house tour you’ve ever posted, AT!!!! Truly my favorite space I’ve ever seen here!!! Jason is obviously incredibly talented, but he’s also the perfect tour host! Beautiful, thoughtful and flawless design. Obsessed with everything and it’s inspiring me to makeover my small living space here in Seattle 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
thank you so much for watching. Truly appreciated!
I love Jason's choices in the layout and decor of his home. I think the grey kitchen is beautiful and the outside space is very enchanting.
Finally, a maturly decorated apartment. ❤
Gorgeous and totally functional!! The combo of marble pieces, great books and peel and stick...this man knows how to live in NYC! Please don't get rid of that vintage built in clothes hamper in the bathroom. Grew up in a house with one, and now that I don't have it anymore, I realize what a great, tidy space saver it was.
For a space to not be “renovated” your space looks amazing!!
one Room Masion is Wild
for a single person okay, but with a young child is pretty wild.
@@Ghost-sz7uo i just Meant the name😹.. Honestly i love this
I love it all, even the 'unrenovated' kitchen and bathroom. Standouts for me: the building itself with the beautiful arches, dark wood elements, staircase, etc.; the rug, the furniture, the brightness and sense of space. I will watch this again (and again).
the building it truly special.
Honestly, the bathroom looks great in it's unrennovated form.
The building is stunning! Apartment is beautiful. What a great space and home
My favorite stager!! I wish more people discussed buying studios.
Oh he's got an in the wall hamper in the bathroom. I also have one (in my unrenovated 1972 bathroom) and I've never seen one anywhere else before. I love it.
That metal hamper that is attached to the bathroom wall is from the 1960s. I have it in my co-op in Williamsburg. Do not get rid of it. It takes up so little space and is so handy. Once gone, you can never find one to replace it.
This design style is Magnifique! I love the thoughtful way you have placed the furnishings. Really wonderful.
That's a really beautiful apartment.. for one person. It feels like the daughter also living there is very much an afterthought. Dining table for one, more space for his shoes than her stuff, giant unstable mirror that isn't properly secured to the wall and that moves when someone inevitably leans against it (so dangerous!), lots of sex-referring items everywhere, even above the kitchen sink. This looks like a very temporary arrangement, in the long run this isn't going to work. I'm not one for homes covered with toys and Disney posters, but kids do need a bit more accomodations than this. At the very least their own seat at the dining table and some basic home safety measures like securing heavy items so they don't fall on them.
I'm not sure why he'd want to renovate the bathroom and kitchen though, they seem to be fully functional and in great condition, plus they have a lot of charm. There's no need to do more than what he's done, it looks great.
I got the impression from this video that his daughter only stays with him sometimes-- every other weekend is a pretty common custody arrangement. I agree that the art and mirrors should be extra secure for safety, but I didn't see anything sexual or explicit in the video, only things that are suggestive to an adult but would go right over a young child's head. The nude female form is not inherently sexual and is all over public museums that she will visit frequently as a kid growing up in New York City. As she gets older he will likely have to move to a place where she can have her own bedroom and possibly make some changes in the decor.
He is so cool and seems like a really great person. His sense of style is on point. Love both the bathroom and kitchen, no need to rush into renovating. I renovated mine immediately after closing and regret it immensely as I didn't give my self a chance to get a feel of my pre-war apartment. Now I can't wait to be able to do it again in a way that feels good and authentic.
L.O.V.E. His use of space, collected art and other pieces and thoughtfulness in use of the space...chef's kiss.
What a stylish apartment! I LOVE his bathroom, and I wouldn't change a thing. ❤
I agree. It has character and soul. I love it.
Not even the small folding frame which has the words COCK FACE in it?? Ok!!!!!!!!!!
@@tl1110 I can't believe Apartment Therapy filmed that and posted it on their channel. There are other similar objects throughout the apartment.
@@tinyhomeslady I know, and he has a young kid too! Disgusting!!!
Your apartment is beautiful, well done, furniture, artwork, etc. How about a shelf with something that belongs to your daughter or a more playful mage to hang over her bed - she’s kind of squashed by all your things. I’m sure you could find something more childlike that’s still as sophisticated as everything else you own!
I like the original features and the way you have worked with them is lovely. The way you've given your daughter a private sleeping area is well done.
Beautiful apartment, beautiful soul....
The apartment looks so spacious and comfortable and calm. Love what he's done with it. Nicely decorated but doesn't look junky, and it's functional!
His home is beautiful! He has such sophisticated furniture and decor pieces, and I love the way he decorated. The choices he made in designing his space makes the room look much larger than it is. And the way he makes sure to consider his daughter's wellbeing in the space is so sweet!
What you done? It looks fabulous you talk about renovating. Your bathroom is awesome. I would hate for you to ruin the original. I think what you’ve done in your kitchen is is spectacular and a comic keeps with the old style and it gives it character so you don’t have to apologize because I really liked what you’ve done in your space.
Love all the old details still left like the unpainted wood, fireplace, stairs and the bathroom.
Elegance and functionality! I saved this video because Jason has managed to elevate his apartment while showing us normal people that it's doable in our home with a humble budget.
I watch a lot of Apartment Therapy. but this is my absolute favorite!
Your apartment is amazing.
And, IMHO. never needs to be renovated.
And, you are charming.. You are clearly a great father and a brilliant designer.
Keep up the good work, man!
Years ago I had a very bad accident and lost my ability to decorate. I don't know where to put a chair or table and I just can't stand it ‼️
So I thank you for all these Apartment Therapy videos! They help me SO MUCH 💯 ❤️
sorry to hear.
Oh my...I hope you get your ability back and I hope you're being inspired by these videos will encourage you to begin to trust yourself to put these in your space that bring you joy and comfort.
His Sweeet Spirit is Inspiring.. & it is on display in His LOVE-ly *HOME* !✨️😊✨️
What a gorgeous, artful, and joyous space! It’s truly inspiring!
This ... "Home is embracing what you have and enjoying it in the moment." Thank you Jason for sharing.
Thank you for inviting us into your home. All my stuff is my favorite, too. You are a lovely man. Thanks again. Cheers.
The vintage glass mrs butterworth bottle in the kitchen!!
My jaw DROPPED at the bathroom. Gorgeous!!
"A man's home is his castle," and he has made this space both lovely and functional.
beautiful small apartment! his daughter is going to grow up to be really cultured and tasteful.
OMG I know that street/building - I walk past there all the time and always admire the beautiful mini-yard and seating area! This fees so surreal!
Jason has done an extraordinary feat. Well done. Beautiful building.
Wow! Unequaled. Jason's principles of design reveal the value of learning in the free market. I bet his home staging is a knockout.
I love the “old” fixtures in the bathroom and kitchen. People are paying good money for them today. As long as it’s functional and still pretty why not keep them.
Ikr?
I feel like he could have used a sofa that has a pull out bed function - making it a temporary guest bed if necessary. As well as using those IKEA shoe cabinet which it has a cover to hide the shoe clutter. Majority of his decor is nice but sometimes it feels a bit too cluttered for my liking. I have to give it to him for using a white banquette, I would never be able to pull that off - it would get dirty fast.
'home is everything'! it sure is. I love the effects yo have created with what existed and some imagination
I love your original bathroom, especially that gorgeous marble sink! You've made a plain bathroom look very cool and the old tile and fixtures are perfect
This looks bigger than 450 sq.. Beautiful Love the tall ceiling .All the build in book casing .You did a wonderful job. Just Love It🌷
The best apartment I've seen on this channel, So stylish.
Interesting. Often these small spaces are, well, still obviously super small no matter how it’s decorated or organized. This actually feels like a large, dynamic and multifunctional home. Love it!
Looks stylish. A thought, you might get a folding screen to give your little girl more privacy when she gets older.
Love this! No excuses needed for not renovating. It’s fantastic as it is!!
Wow, I really liked this home. It´s elegant and has so much beautiful art and special furniture, all of them placed in such an harmonious, not pretentious way...at the same time its cozy, personal and inviting. And the wood details in the building stairs!...Just an amazing place, congratulations.
I love to see a home filled with art and things the homeowner loves!
It's a great building and apartment, but he is not a Bachelor in his 20's anymore and everything is about him. I get it he wants to live in a Mansion in Brooklyn to impress the people but if you have a child you need at least two rooms.
It's wild that there is a gay leather bondage teddy bear on the bathroom shelf and he has a little daughter hanging around.
That’s just a joke/ novelty item. I think it’s more strange that there are no bedroom doors
@@polarknight856 I didn't think it was strange in and of itself especially because he's gey. I think it's strange to have that in the presence of his child. I wouldn't allow my children to go to a house that had that on display.
The bathroom still looks amazing. Love this place
Love the decor! Warm, welcoming, and many places of interest. I know you want it open, but I think I’d put a ceiling hung curtain around the rectangle that’s the daughter’s space-same length of the wall it’s up against. Something mottled and reflective, mirroring the gold, bronze, taupe colours found in the room. Or a built in closet/study/hang out area in that spot with a bed loft above once she is old enough. The bed can remain and you can gain some storage place or an office when she goes off to college.
I love, love the color decoration and the quality of the furnitures. This open space mansion room is so well-organized. It gift give the illusion and encourage to be an organized person. The functionality of this gentleman apartment is very practical. How good it’s to embrace, also your daughter and family’s.Thank you for sharing it with me and the rest of the world.
Quality of life, I think Jason has it big time in this space especially when he said he can hear the birds. Really lovely.
Your home is fabulous. I love your bathroom as it is
Very impressive. Great organizational skills. Knows how to decorate. Apartment looks fantastic. Maybe he should teach a class on how to decorate small apartments and maximize space. 😊. Great job. 😊
An incredible design to make such a small space look so beautiful and calm and upscale! Love!
Great design and beautiful pieces but most importantly a GREAT DAD!
ugh, I love all of these old details, I know he seems to be itching to renovate (because he mentioned it a million times), but you lose the charm. My first dorm apartment bathroom had that same hamper and honestly it's so amazing, I hate that new spaces don't have this. There is a certain charm that might get lost once he does finally renovate. I hope he meant restore, it looks really good as is.
Love the disco ball in the bathroom!!! His decorating skills are on another level!!
This beautiful building is where one of my favorite movies was filmed, the Sentinel ( 1977 ). Recognized the building’s lobby immediately. Gorgeous studio.
Love the apartment, how you designed/decorated it and your presentation of it as well❤
The building, shared access and lovely gardens are breath taking and enriching.
Great space intelligently adapted.
Thank you for sharing……
Enjoy
Loved hearing his growing up story. You can feel his appreciation of owning his home.
The transformation really turned this living space into a stylish and functional haven. 👏🏼👏🏼
I saw this one before.. years ago. I remembered the little bed area for the kid.
This is spectacular!
Love everything about this space.
~N
What a thoughtful space, and nice to see a detailed and object oriented space that a child interacts with. Most parents design for children and usually that ends up looking bare and a bit primary.
This is definitely motivating. I recently moved to a large city and I’m living in a 350 sq. ft studio and I honestly feel overwhelmed trying to figure out what I can do with it. While yours is a bit bigger, it’s still a small amount of space to do much with so this was pretty inspiring. Looks like I have some work to do.
thank you.
"I put a chair out here so I can sit down and take my shoes off because I never, ever, ever walk into my apartment with my shoes on."
**WALKS IN APARTMENT WITH SHOES ON** (0:37) 🤣🤣🤣
Looks so much bigger tyan 450 sq.
He's done a very nice layout that makes it feel roomy & airey and not cramped and cluttered. 👍🏾👏🏾
What a lovely space. Love that the layout allowed him to create such a spacious feeling.
