Brooklynite westminstershabbey steps back in time to decorate her 1906 home
In the heart of Brooklyn, surrounded by streets filled with brick apartment buildings and fast-food joints, sits a strangely untouched neighborhood of stately Victorian homes. One of these belongs to artist/director Syrie Moskowitz and her music-producer husband, Stuart Matthewman. The couple purchased the home in 2019 and spent the pandemic years fixing it up.
ADVERTISEMENT Every corner is filled with Moskowitz’s eclectic collections of endearing bric-a-brac: a miniature set of iron cats playing instruments sits on a shelf; an assortment of thread on vintage wooden spools adorns the sewing corner; and a gallery of old botanical prints hangs in the stairwell. “I’m literally the anti-minimalist,” Moskowitz says, laughing. “I’m like, Marie Kondo, take that! It all gives me joy.
The dining room is the only area where the previous owner’s wallpaper remains. Moskowitz added blue butterflies and additional crystals to the chandelier above the table, and both the Victorian dining room table and sideboard were rescued from a neighbor’s attic, covered in coal dust. The room, as well as the home itself, is filled with Moskowitz’s varied vintage finds. “My mom is an antiques dealer and a lot of this stuff either came from her or she told me how to acquire it.
The sewing corner boasts two antique sewing machines—one that belonged to Moskowitz’s mom, and another that Moskowitz still uses to sew her exquisite dress designs.
