In this episode of Houzz TV Live, interior designer Julia Mack gives a virtual tour of spaces in and around her brownstone home in Brooklyn, New York. In the backyard, a deck off the kitchen perches 10 feet above the ground and includes a dining table and herb garden. Inside, the hardworking kitchen features easy-maintenance porcelain slab countertops and backsplash and flat-panel cabinet fronts without hardware for a clean, contemporary look.
Mack also highlights other renovations she’s done to the 150-year-old home. She removed walls to open up the layout and connect the entry, living room and dining room. She tucked a tiny powder room below the staircase. And she shows how she plays with textures and tones to create warmth and design depth in a small space.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments, the kitchen cabinets are by Scavolini and the countertops are from Porcelanosa and yes, there are screens on the sliding doors. For additional photos please see my Houzz profile: https://www.houzz.com/pro/juliamack/__public
Thank you for all of these kind words about my interior design work, I’m overwhelmed by the positive feedback and am so pleased with your comments. I do try to bring the same design sensibility to all of my projects, my own home included. As my clients know, I’m dedicated to proportion, scale, form and function plus pops of color, layering of textures and objects and 3 forms of light in all spaces, my home is often my laboratory and I definitely live what I teach.
