The special textile is paired with a midcentury wooden dining set, a 1960s Vetri Murano egg lamp atop a neon green plexiglass pedestal, and a Mostafa El Hadar painting from the couples trip to Morocco. Two ceramic Shabbat candlestick holders that Miller crafted in the shape of scantily clad ladies stand on the table. One of them is a self-portrait of me lactating, she shares. The other one is a thick, pregnant woman with mom tattooed on her butt.On the opposite end of the open room, the kitchen is equipped with four Memphis-style counter stools from Facebook Marketplace, a red floating shelf thrifted in Brattleboro, Vermont, and a chicken alarm clock from Millers childhood. Her mother painted the etrog and garlic still lifes, while her friend Carson Whittaker created the shimmery resin Negroni piece. She paints on wood, then carves it down, then does a glitter layer and a resin pour, Miller says of the process.The couples bedroom combines a semicircular cane headboard, a yellow-and-white wavy striped Dusen Dusen duvet, and a painting of a woman drinking a coconut by Millers brothers ex-girlfriends aunt. Her grandparents green, cabriole-legged nightstands, which look like they were plucked out of a fairytale, sit on either side of the bed. I was obsessed with them as a little kid, Miller admits.A big built-in bookshelf overflows with wandering vines, tchotchkes, and beloved artwork, including an original David Shrigley Venn Diagram and a framed Evening Gatha prayer from Kronbergs father. All the ceramics are things that I made and there are a lot of costume items scattered throughout, says Miller. I have all my jewelry and knickknacks and lots of plants.Our son actually came really early, Miller reveals. I was 33 weeks pregnant. We were going to do a big mural, but we didnt get up to it. All we had done was paint the walls and put in a Murphy bed system. Its not really in operation. His crib takes up the space that you would need, but it does pull down into a queen bed.The nursery is outfitted with periwinkle walls, a wooden crib, a polka-dotted floor matand a healthy dose of yellow, of course. A corn-colored patchwork curtain glows with natural light during the day and a lemonade microsuede configurable kids couch offers endless opportunities for both lounging and playing. Its the perfect space for a youngster, just like the rest of the home.
