Uptown Girl

 In Lindsey Harper’s tiny New York apartment, space is no constraint on her opulent, colorful style.

The coffee table in Harper’s apartment is from the furniture line she designs along with friend Maggie Currey. She requested the finish be as glossy as nail polish, and the result has all the liquid gleam of a fresh manicure. A zebra rug layered over a sisal carpet adds a layer of richness.

The coffee table in Harper’s apartment is from the furniture line she designs along with friend Maggie Currey. She requested the finish be as glossy as nail polish, and the result has all the liquid gleam of a fresh manicure. A zebra rug layered over a sisal carpet adds a layer of richness.

Channeling the best of WASP style, Harper gives velvet-covered sofas and elaborate window treatments a fresh new look. Flanked by a pair of vintage chrome tagres, the velvet sofa gets a jaunty aspect from its white painted frame and mother-of-pearl buttons. In the small space, Harper created a powerful focal point with striped curtains framing the apartment’s one window.

A chrome bar cart holds the makings of a cocktail party, above which hangs Harper’s bulletin board filled with layers of invitations, snapshots, and souvenirs. The spacious board allows her to hang important papers rather than creating messy piles. The chairs are painted a Prussian blue and covered with a raspberry cotton by Muriel Brandolini.
