THE OWNER
Interior designer Arianna De Gasperis - founder of And Studio - and her husband. The couple have two dogs, Stewie and Ozzy.
THE PROPERTY
A classic 1850s Victorian brownstone located in Jersey City, on American's East Coast. The ground floor comprises the entryway, living room, dining room, powder room and kitchen. On the first floor is the main bedroom and bathroom, a guest bedroom and bathroom and an office space.

The interior designer, however, did the complete opposite for her own home in Jersey City's Van Vorst Park. From Canada and with Italian origins, Arianna studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City where she decided to settle down and launch her practice, And Studio.
