A graphic designer meets with a very cute young client [Video] . . .
Tenant transforms his apartment in exchange for free rent.
A look inside the San Francisco apartment with an antiques theme renovated by its tenant, an interior designer.
In 2007, Grant K. Gibson, an interior designer, offered his future landlord a deal: in exchange for two months' free rent ($3,000), he would renovate the San Francisco apartment. Mr. Gibson sits before 18th century architectural drawings of Rome from an old book that he mounted in $20 frames.
He only wears black and white clothes so it was quite a leap to be so bold with color in the bedroom.
This antique Turkish rug and imitation-crocodile tray table were hand-me-downs from one of Mr. Gibson's clients.
All of the bamboo roman shades are from Target. I might get these for the three windows in my studio. Don't you think this young man did an amazing job for just $3,000? Be sure to view all 12 of the photographs in the New York Times slideshow.
Thanks for stopping by the cottage for an inspirational renovation. ♥Rosemary
