today’s sneak peek belongs to alissia melka-teichroew and jan habraken. both halves of this talented designing duo are originally from the netherlands, but now call greenpoint, brooklyn home. i popped by their sunny apartment last week and marveled at how clean, simple and fresh everything looked. i hope you’ll enjoy their apartment as much as i did- click here for many, many additional (and full-sized) images on flickr.

that rabbit dish rack is fabulous – is it one of alissia and jan’s designs as well?
Not sure if anyone has already pointed out that the Flickr link is listed as a “Private Page”
Thanks!
I tried looking at the Flickr pics but it says they’re private :(
I love everything I’ve seen so far and am DYING to see more…
i LOVE that green rug in the kitchen! where is it from?
What a charming space! I love all of it, and am particularly envious of that dish rack. I looked around, and it appears that the only shops that carry it are in the UK — does anyone know of a place in the US that has it?
flickr is public now :)

no it’s not public now.
I’m really not impressed. The have a few good pieces, the coat rack is great, the kitchen rug, the bourgie lamp… but the whole place looks more like a “before” type of place. What’s up with all the cables everywhere?
I join the lusting-after-the-bunny-dish rack group. The birdhouse shovel is fun..o and the stack of Tpaper is brilliant. Hope they are loving Greenpoint!
Oh so crisp and inviting, I would love to know where the bunny dish rack came from, too.
Great place! I love that table – where is it from?
I havent been able to find it for sale in the US but here is the bunny dishrack! It is also available in the Victoria and Albert Museum Shop (but more expensive). So Cute!

would also love to know about the green rug….
OMG the bunny drying rack! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Yeay for mix and match chairs at the table — especially with Panton!
THE BUNNY! Perfect example of turning an ordinary necessity into a design piece. Love love love.
It’s already been said, but I love, love, love that bunny. Great design!
We’ve re-set the permissions for Flickr – we didn’t know it would be posted today :-)
The DishBunny was designed by Chris Koens and manufactured by Invotis: http://www.invotisorange.com/
The Green rug in the kitchen was from Urban Outfitters 6 years ago, but I recently saw them again.
Thanks! Alissia
I know the chairs are from ikea and pantone chair. Where is the table from? Anyone have any idea?
I love that french vocab shower cutrain. It is genius!
Yes, the Dutch know how to do it! :)
BEAUTIFUL!
soft, simple, clean, light and full of creative ideas that don’t mean to shock, but to gather interest. and they do!
yep, another fan of the bunny dish rack here. and the plates!
i love the couch! where is it from?
Aaahhh!!! That bunny rack is seriously adorable. I love all of the subtle touches of nature throughout the home. Great simple design! Love it!
I love this home. It’s so easy and relaxed, while still being stylish. Very Dutch. Where did the dining room table come from? I recognize the Ikea chairs, but the table?
Does anyone know where to get the french vocab shower curtain – I love it
$20 right here: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/176-8637719-4924617?ASIN=B000UIARPK&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000UIARPK|French_Vocabulary_Shower_Curtain&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000UIARPK&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001

to answer some questions:
The table is also from IKEA, old collection, they might still have it but only in wood (not with the white laminated top).
The shower curtain we got at Urban Outfitters online.
The Couch is also IKEA, it’s from the Kramfors collection: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/07438/

I like it, but am missing some colours on the walls. That duck sponge is a really good idea!
I like the home’s simple design. Can you tell me where you got the book shelves next to the birdhouse shovel?
Holy smokes! The blanket is over $1000 when you convert the Euro’s to dollars.
