In March, we caught up with Brynn Whitfield as she made some truly stunning home improvements. In the photos she shared at the time, we got a peek at how she “jazz[ed] up the guest bath” and added “sexy” sconces over her living room mantel.
More recently, The Real Housewives of New York City cast member revealed the final result of her apartment updates with a home tour via Architectural Digest, including the “ultimate luxury.”
In the interview with AD, Brynn revealed she was now a “Gramercy girl,” living in the Gramercy Park area of New York City (she moved into the two-bedroom abode from her old place in Greenwich Village).
“I don’t have a key to the park, but I’m going to become a Gramercy girl and do what I always do, which is decorate, decorate, decorate, pour money into a rental, and not care if I get my security deposit back,” she joked, pointing to the beautiful paint colors used in different rooms and “funky contemporary pieces” she added to the mix to achieve “1970s Parisian vibes.”
Brynn continued those vibes with her utterly stunning “glam room” that’s decorated with Mindthegap’s Gardens of Jaipur wallpaper and prints by Kamala Nahas via Minted.
“I used to roll my eyes like, ‘Oh, you have a glam room?’ But here’s the thing: I do sometimes have hair and makeup [teams] huddling in my bathroom and tripping over stuff,” Brynn explained. “A dedicated space is the ultimate luxury. Even if I look like a hot mess, I’ll go in that room and I’m like, ‘I’m going to be okay.’”
Brynn gushed more about her apartment in a July 18 Instagram post, writing: “For the record, I totally manifested this.”

Brynn Whitfield reflects on her past living situation
In the same AD interview, Brynn reflected on the importance of her current living situation and its profound meaning.
“I have so many deep traumatic associations with home…. I came from Section 8 housing and welfare,” she said. “I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I would have the exact opposite experience as an adult and love my home and be proud of it, not ashamed.”
