A new window above the bed, as well as new drywall and paint, make for a light and bright space.

In the primary bedroom, the custom bed is joined by a side table from Dims and a pendant by Norm Architects for Menu.

A twin bed that he designed anchors a flex room on the second floor.

Classic mid-century furniture like the Eames lounge chair in Cohen’s bedroom populate the home, a nod to his long life in architecture.

The boys’ bedrooms have loft beds that create play spaces below. As a result, their toys are stored and used in their bedrooms instead of shared living spaces.

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.

Cedarville, a pastel pink hue, and Green Bayou, both by Dunn-Edwards Paints, now cheer up the space.
