Black, booked and busy! Please give us more black people living their best lives in their wonderful homes

I’m not the jealous type, but DAMN she is living the dream as an artist; to fully fund your home with your talent and live in a home reflective of your design style 👏🏼

I have been staring at those blue doors for years and wanting to know what was inside. The change to the facade of the house alone was pretty epic! I am so so happy to finally see the beautiful interior and owner!! My neighborhood rocks!

More Black creatives! I love seeing how the Afro-descendent diaspora translates their various cultures into their home decor :)

Very pretty! Unlike the constant barrage of sterile white and beige we often get

This home is so sunny, one would think they were in the islands.

Beautiful Black woman, I wish you peace and joy in your lovely home. Inspiring to see ownership by a sister in gentrified Brooklyn.

Had the absolute pleasure of staying in her parlor level Airbnb before moving to NYC in December 2017 and it was just as beautiful, her attention to bright colors and small details was so fresh!

I miss houses with a different color in every room. You have brought the Caribbean to your home. Beautiful! It reminds me of life back in the West Indies.

I don’t know why but I started crying looking at this beautiful picture of that market woman. It’s outstanding beautiful. It has a soul.

As a polynesian woman I absolutely LOVE your style. So vibrant and rich with soul. I was getting sick of the whole "white on white" trend that everybody seems to be doing at the moment, this is so re-freshing!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw those awesome door handles on the bathroom doors. Just magnificent!

I love seeing my Caribbean people do well 🇯🇲🇹🇹🇺🇲

The apartment conveys her personality so well! Both she and her apartment are gorgeous!!

Being a black student in interior design most of my peers are white , definitely due to my location. I'm excited to get in the field and be surrounded by people who are more diverse. I love her initiative .

She's so classy. I love her home. And she's pretty, too.

love the stories behind her paintings

I love how her vision transformed this space that was in need of a lot of TLC. It's now a fabulous, artful home.

Bravo to the women in the marketplace! These women are independent business owners. Beautiful home!

OMG I love that yellow velvet sofa soooo much. What a beautiful home for a beautiful spirit.

Colours are almost frowned upon in the current trends. I love all the colour and warmth in that beautiful home. The artwork is incredible too. Love the stories behind them!

As an artist and decorator myself, I think her use of color is masterful. I especially liked how her outfit was used to coordinate with the decor.

Yes! This is such a beautiful home. The brightness of the rooms also reminds me of how my Mexican home was decorated as a child.

An other Nola Darling gat to have it all, I love it!! Go Sister Go!!!

The host has my dream job. I love looking at homes and to interview the owners is icing on the cake.

Ugh, so beautiful!! I’m not usually into bright colors, but I would totally live there (or have her decorate my place).

What a beautiful classy creative lady. I love the colours and sense of style. Kindest wishes and happiness from New Zealand

I adore her home! Literally my dream home!

Such a beautiful woman and space!

~"As a creative person...we have vision."👈🤗 Spoken like a true artist. I love it.😄 Very true. I can find the beauty and/or potential in anything. Great job. Stunning home. The painting on the wall behind her is stunning!

I am an Australian woman living in an old Queenslander in the wet tropics. Getting ready to paint walls, ooohhh yummmmy, I've found my colour pallet, thanking you. Wonderful paintings too.

Red door, purple bedroom, amazing art, and visible washer and dryer in the kitchen. Interesting and cozy, I love it.

Both she and her home are stunning!

Loved! Please, more black creatives!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely love seeing women of color living, flourishing and enjoying life. More of this please!!!

Remarkable woman, remarkable house, remarkable art. A lesson for all those people, interior designers, decorators with the trendy works and the lack of soul. Thumbs up!!!!!

I loved how inviting your home is. I love the colors and the flow! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Dreams do come true.

This home is jaw dropping. It's curated but not cold, full of light and bright, but not bland. It feels attainable as its not an 18 be mega mansion. I loooooove all the color and decor. It just feels... Happy.

Stunning - her, her home, her art, her vibe!

This place is gorgeous! The wall color in every room is perfect!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Each room in my house has a different color! I love what she created. So serene and joyful. BEAUTIFUL!!

what an inspiration! just beautiful. .. you, your art, and your home.

The bedroom color is PERFECTION. So much beautiful color throughout the home. Love it!

Absolutely stunning. That bathroom!!! The hand-painted art, her handmade tile designs!! Everything was exceptional. I also love how she explained the women in her artwork. Many times women of African descent are painted and described with such sorrow, but she flipped it! I wish the tour was longer!

It’s beautiful how she sees the paintings on the walls as Saints. ♥️

I LOVE THIS!! I love seeing black women living in their truth and authenticity. She made that house a home and did it beautifully! I aspire to have my future home reflect my heritage and personality. She's an inspiration :)

So much beauty in her, her home, & the art 💙💚🧡. I want to see more homes of black people 🖤🖤🖤.

Jahnes Love. This is sii lovely!!! So proud of myCaribbean people in Brooklyn for building it down and for not giving up on their roots. This gorgeous renovated house is a space we dreamed of dwelling in as children and this beautiful and talented sistah has made it real! I Love those paintings of the market women! She should fi a children's story book! And, if the J train goes to that street or block than I think that I was a squatter there invited by a Guyanese Rastas bredren sometime in December 2011 when I first came back to NYC. There was a woman squatter upstasirs and the rasta was downstairs. The staircase and entrance are very familiar. Blessed Love.

My husband and I are in the process of fully gutting the 1st level of our home. We both want vibrant colors on the walls. This is beautiful. Thank you sista ❤❤. Beautiful done 🤚🤚.

The best home I’ve see thus far on this channel.

Such beautiful, tranquil inspiring colours! Love how Malene's earrings match the woman's in the paintings. She truly lives her art!

Greetings from Las Vegas! I am totally in love with her bathroom,from features to mirrors. Just super! She has a peculiar way of decorating but it all works out. There are many different colors in her decor and it comes together nicely cause she uses pastel colors.By the way, I'm Caribbean too. I'm Cuban American.

Beautiful, and so inspiring. Love her vibe! ♥️

Very very tasteful. I think this is the best decorated brownstone townhouse I seen and I'm obsessed with how people decorate them on KZfaq.

What a beautiful and inspiring home. The style, art work, sculptures and creativity took my breath away. Absolutely brilliant, this is what a home should look like, not the dull beige homes that seem to be the norm. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us

Beautiful! I'm from Brooklyn and I truly can relate to those Brownstones... Thanks for sharing!

love the strength of the women on the wall!

What a delightfully cheery space.....definitely tasteful and true to our heritage.

BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED STYLE, GRACE, & ELEGANCE

she looks like a painting herself...painting come alive..so sweet..

Her collection of art is so perfect, her home is stunning.

Absolutely love this, like, the yellow stares, bright colours the art, everything has a personality. Love it!

I clicked just to get a better glimpse of that beautiful painting in the thumbnail. I can’t stop staring at the lovely colors. The blues, the greens. I’m mesmerized.

The bedroom was my favorite!

honestly this house touched my soul... just beautiful!

I really do adore her story and I'm crushing on those wooden sculptures...Blessed you are 🦋

I love how alive her home is with the colors and art work. 😊

This is the home decor style I have waited for...

What a beautiful home! Love the color and especially the artwork!

So much YES in this space. every space exudes the confidence of its owner and creator. it speaks to me!

I love her and her work! She’s so inspiring and just absolutely fabulous!

Wow! Love her taste. Such a beautiful dwelling!

Love this colour home, she makes it into a home. The only thing that is mussing is some palm and banana trees. 😊😉🌹🌹

Gorgeous Space.

Love it. Love it. I feel like I traveled to paradise peeking inside your home. Thanks for sharing.

She takes the term "people of color" to a whole new level. Love everything about this video! 😍😍😍

Talent and taste - the artwork is fantastic! En mi mundo dios es una mujer negra. Respetos.

One of the most elegant and beautifully done houses in the series, a lot of the episodes have overdone campy decor but she’s really placed everything with intent absolutely beautiful

Aaaah she's so pretty, 😍 everything is beautiful we need more people like her embracing culture.

I am a middle aged white American man, and I love your home. It is beautiful.

I love it. So much life and vibrance. Definitely has a Caribbean feel. Sunny and full of happiness.

I admire people that do renovations like these

So encouraging and inspiring. This Sister knows Who She is and Why She's here to do. Love her Energy and Style. Thank you New York Magazine for sharing this video story.

She's speaking my language. I love love love everything about it! I love the fresh, bright color palette and artwork.

I love cold colors, with warm touches!

I'm so inspired when I see such beauty. A Rose truly grew in Brooklyn with this.

Her home is lovely, it looks like a space in the Caribbean with beautiful colors. I would love to have those pieces in my home one day...

I wanted to see more of Malene's home because it's so beautiful. This is a small snippet of a unique aesthetic design. I love color especially on walls but since I'm a renter, the rules are different. Would love to know more about her tiles because they are fantastic. Malene is truly talented and I applaud her.

Her home is so vibrant and inspiring!!!!!! I love it!

A delightful home for a most charming person!

Yes COLOR! I subscribed after seeing thumbnail. Her work is fabulous!!!

So beautiful and unique. No white walls with gray furniture and blandness. Color but in an artistically controlled way. Wow.

So beautiful! I love her rugs!

Such wonderful colours!
