Bettany and Connelly Are No Longer Brooklynites
Actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly have finally sold their 9-bedroom, 3.5-bath Victorian townhouse in Brooklyn, which they put on the market in May. The Bettany-Connelly Prospect Park pad still stands in my mind as the one of the most impressive celebrity digs I've yet to take a gander at. Not only are the prewar architectural elements absolutely stunning and nonpareil, but also the couple made simply tasteful interior design choices that create bold, uncompetitive statements throughout the house.
Before and After: Real Simple Meets P.S. 346
The folks over at Real Simple (70 of them, to be exact) recently took part in New York Cares Day, and volunteered at the P.S. 346 elementary school in Brooklyn. In just five hours, they assembled 37 pieces of new Ikea furniture and applied their design expertise to an uninspired multi-purpose room.
This Just In: Jennifer Connelly & Paul Bettany Put Dream House on Market
According to Brownstoner, Jennifer Connolly and Paul Bettany have put their historic, prewar 9-bedroom, 3.5-bath Prospect Park (Brooklyn) Victorian townhouse on the market for $8.5 million. The handsome couple is ditching their park-front manse in favor of a TriBeCa loft, just as Scarlett Johansson and Kevin Spacey are leaving the neighborhood.

Nice and New: Flavor Paper's Fresh Wall Flavors
This past weekend, New Orleans-based wallpaper company Flavor Paper debuted its Spring 2009 line at BKLYN Designs featuring fresh new designs from Brooklyn-based Dan Funderburgh. While the designs vary widely in subject matter and look, they're all eyecatching and provocative, especially Sharp Descent ($150 per roll), which features a deluge of knives, syringes, and scissors raining down one's wall. I'm more of a fan of the Fruits of Design ($150 per roll, shown here), which provides a modern twist on classic damask.

Coveted Crib: Jenna Lyons's Brooklyn Town House
The September cover story for my favorite home decorating magazine, Livingetc, features J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons's relaxed, elegant Brooklyn town house. Lyons and her husband, artist Vincent Mazeu, spent two years turning the run-down house into a dream home for themselves and their son, Beckett.
Sex and the City: Miranda's Brooklyn Home
By now, I bet the majority of you have seen the Sex and the City movie, right? And if not, you've gotten a taste for the movie's fashion, as well as some of the interiors already. I recently got my hands on some stills from Miranda's Brooklyn house, and had to share them with all of you.
Love It or Hate It? The Humphreys' Brooklyn Pad
If you follow Gossip Girl, you may have noticed that the Humphreys, the token "pauvre" family, live in a killer converted Brooklyn loft that by the standards of most (perhaps not Park Avenue ladies who lunch) would be considered a Coveted Crib. Though it may not come complete with a doorman and an elevator (to get stuck in!), it's a massive space with gorgeous colored window panes, loads of rad midcentury furniture and artwork (thanks to Rufus's keen gallerist eye), and a garage door wall! How funky is that?
