Yes!!! I went the cream/beige route. Inspired by the sands of the Caribbean and the Behr color coconut twist for my Caribbean roots, I brought in black frames and decor, and added pops of color using artwork, floral arrangements, plants, and print and bold color pillows, and texture using linen, woven basket, etc.. I like her house. It would have been nice to know the sources of her artwork since I would like to start investing in some.

This home is so sunny, one would think they were in the islands.

Had the absolute pleasure of staying in her parlor level Airbnb before moving to NYC in December 2017 and it was just as beautiful, her attention to bright colors and small details was so fresh!

As a polynesian woman I absolutely LOVE your style. So vibrant and rich with soul. I was getting sick of the whole "white on white" trend that everybody seems to be doing at the moment, this is so re-freshing!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw those awesome door handles on the bathroom doors. Just magnificent!

Being a black student in interior design most of my peers are white , definitely due to my location. I'm excited to get in the field and be surrounded by people who are more diverse. I love her initiative .

The apartment conveys her personality so well! Both she and her apartment are gorgeous!!

She's so classy. I love her home. And she's pretty, too.

love the stories behind her paintings

Bravo to the women in the marketplace! These women are independent business owners. Beautiful home!

OMG I love that yellow velvet sofa soooo much. What a beautiful home for a beautiful spirit.

An other Nola Darling gat to have it all, I love it!! Go Sister Go!!!

As an artist and decorator myself, I think her use of color is masterful. I especially liked how her outfit was used to coordinate with the decor.

I love how her vision transformed this space that was in need of a lot of TLC. It's now a fabulous, artful home.

Such a beautiful woman and space!

Colours are almost frowned upon in the current trends. I love all the colour and warmth in that beautiful home. The artwork is incredible too. Love the stories behind them!

I adore her home! Literally my dream home!

Loved! Please, more black creatives!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes! This is such a beautiful home. The brightness of the rooms also reminds me of how my Mexican home was decorated as a child.

Ugh, so beautiful!! I’m not usually into bright colors, but I would totally live there (or have her decorate my place).

This place is gorgeous! The wall color in every room is perfect!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

~"As a creative person...we have vision."👈🤗 Spoken like a true artist. I love it.😄 Very true. I can find the beauty and/or potential in anything. Great job. Stunning home. The painting on the wall behind her is stunning!

Remarkable woman, remarkable house, remarkable art. A lesson for all those people, interior designers, decorators with the trendy works and the lack of soul. Thumbs up!!!!!

Both she and her home are stunning!

Absolutely love seeing women of color living, flourishing and enjoying life. More of this please!!!

So much beauty in her, her home, & the art 💙💚🧡. I want to see more homes of black people 🖤🖤🖤.

The bedroom color is PERFECTION. So much beautiful color throughout the home. Love it!

Stunning - her, her home, her art, her vibe!

Absolutely stunning. That bathroom!!! The hand-painted art, her handmade tile designs!! Everything was exceptional. I also love how she explained the women in her artwork. Many times women of African descent are painted and described with such sorrow, but she flipped it! I wish the tour was longer!

Her collection of art is so perfect, her home is stunning.

I LOVE THIS!! I love seeing black women living in their truth and authenticity. She made that house a home and did it beautifully! I aspire to have my future home reflect my heritage and personality. She's an inspiration :)

Each room in my house has a different color! I love what she created. So serene and joyful. BEAUTIFUL!!

My husband and I are in the process of fully gutting the 1st level of our home. We both want vibrant colors on the walls. This is beautiful. Thank you sista ❤❤. Beautiful done 🤚🤚.

Red door, purple bedroom, amazing art, and visible washer and dryer in the kitchen. Interesting and cozy, I love it.

I am an Australian woman living in an old Queenslander in the wet tropics. Getting ready to paint walls, ooohhh yummmmy, I've found my colour pallet, thanking you. Wonderful paintings too.

It’s beautiful how she sees the paintings on the walls as Saints. ♥️

love the strength of the women on the wall!

what an inspiration! just beautiful. .. you, your art, and your home.

The best home I’ve see thus far on this channel.

I loved how inviting your home is. I love the colors and the flow! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Dreams do come true.

Beautiful, and so inspiring. Love her vibe! ♥️

This home is jaw dropping. It's curated but not cold, full of light and bright, but not bland. It feels attainable as its not an 18 be mega mansion. I loooooove all the color and decor. It just feels... Happy.

Talent and taste - the artwork is fantastic! En mi mundo dios es una mujer negra. Respetos.

The bedroom was my favorite!

So much YES in this space. every space exudes the confidence of its owner and creator. it speaks to me!

Such beautiful, tranquil inspiring colours! Love how Malene's earrings match the woman's in the paintings. She truly lives her art!

Absolutely love this, like, the yellow stares, bright colours the art, everything has a personality. Love it!

Greetings from Las Vegas! I am totally in love with her bathroom,from features to mirrors. Just super! She has a peculiar way of decorating but it all works out. There are many different colors in her decor and it comes together nicely cause she uses pastel colors.By the way, I'm Caribbean too. I'm Cuban American.

Very very tasteful. I think this is the best decorated brownstone townhouse I seen and I'm obsessed with how people decorate them on KZread.

What a beautiful and inspiring home. The style, art work, sculptures and creativity took my breath away. Absolutely brilliant, this is what a home should look like, not the dull beige homes that seem to be the norm. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us

Gorgeous Space.

Awesome art collection

What a delightfully cheery space.....definitely tasteful and true to our heritage.

BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED STYLE, GRACE, & ELEGANCE

One of the most elegant and beautifully done houses in the series, a lot of the episodes have overdone campy decor but she’s really placed everything with intent absolutely beautiful

I admire people that do renovations like these

This is the home decor style I have waited for...

Wow! Love her taste. Such a beautiful dwelling!

honestly this house touched my soul... just beautiful!

Such wonderful colours!

I really do adore her story and I'm crushing on those wooden sculptures...Blessed you are 🦋

Jahnes Love. This is sii lovely!!! So proud of myCaribbean people in Brooklyn for building it down and for not giving up on their roots. This gorgeous renovated house is a space we dreamed of dwelling in as children and this beautiful and talented sistah has made it real! I Love those paintings of the market women! She should fi a children's story book! And, if the J train goes to that street or block than I think that I was a squatter there invited by a Guyanese Rastas bredren sometime in December 2011 when I first came back to NYC. There was a woman squatter upstasirs and the rasta was downstairs. The staircase and entrance are very familiar. Blessed Love.

I love cold colors, with warm touches!

I love how alive her home is with the colors and art work. 😊

A delightful home for a most charming person!

She takes the term "people of color" to a whole new level. Love everything about this video! 😍😍😍

I love color especially on walls but since I'm a renter, the rules are different. Would love to know more about her tiles because they are fantastic. Malene is truly talented and I applaud her.

Love it. Love it. I feel like I traveled to paradise peeking inside your home. Thanks for sharing.

This is so inspiring and the pastel colour’s she used for her wall is therapeutic!

I absolutely love this, it’s so empowering to see that even though Brooklyn is changing there are still many Black people keeping Brooklyn culture alive, my family grew up in Brownstones now they’re so expensive, I’m rooting for you sistah🙌🏾✨❤️!

Love the decor n the symbolism behind the paintings 🖼 n that bathroom is heaven 😍👏🏾💚💚

I clicked just to get a better glimpse of that beautiful painting in the thumbnail. I can’t stop staring at the lovely colors. The blues, the greens. I’m mesmerized.

Aaaah she's so pretty, 😍 everything is beautiful we need more people like her embracing culture.

Her home is lovely, it looks like a space in the Caribbean with beautiful colors. I would love to have those pieces in my home one day...
