Punchy colors and playful textures up the glamour in writer and actor Mamrie Hart’s apartment.

An unusual pairing of pink and deep green find a happy match in this renovated apartment, which was DIY’ed by the homeowner, comedian Mamrie Hart, and her friend Claire Thomas, a creative director. "I am used to painting," says Thomas, "but I was not emotionally prepared for the amount of trim in the bedroom." Cedarville, a pastel pink hue, and Green Bayou, both by Dunn-Edwards Paints, now cheer up the space.

Bright yellow and purple paints were used to add some vibrancy to the daughter’s desk area, one of the ways the architects tried to honor the personality of each inhabitant's space.

The brick-and-glass residence accommodates limited mobility with a lift between levels and seamless thresholds between indoors and out.

The original brise-soleil on the front facade was kept but repaired.
