DEAN STREET LOFT
“Instead of interrupting the apartment with closed-off spaces, she created an 87-square-foot glass box in the middle of the first floor that does the job of two rooms; it’s Jenny’s office most of the time, but her desk can be easily wheeled out and it can become a guest room — the back wall hides a Murphy bed and full-length drapes can be drawn for privacy.”
— Wendy Goodman, New York Magazine
"Room versatility and diverse functionality were important parts of the renovation...The result is a sophisticated mix of elegance and comfort with miles of personal style..."
— Julia Brenner, Domino Magazine
“Thanks to the wayward pink slippers, “Self Portrait” captures Kirschner’s “self” more accurately than she ever thought possible. The 37-by-49-inch piece, which hangs on a wall close to the foyer of her Brooklyn, New York, home, reminds her that the perfectly imperfect can be artful as well.”
— Jessica Schuster, California Closets
“As futuristic as the apartment may appear at first glance, most of the décor borrows from the past… Vintage pieces — like her parents’ table and chairs and her childhood piano — sit in the dining room and upstairs study, respectively. And then there was the kismet of finding a giant chandelier that had once hung in a church in Amsterdam that Kirschner bought on a whim before she even closed on the apartment.”
— Wendy Goodman, New York Magazine
“Throughout the home, neutral tones lay down a canvas for the occasional burst of color, inspired by an art piece, the marbling of natural stone, or – as in hints of pale pink throughout the living room – a child’s vision.”
— Kate Missine, Aspire Design and Home
“In addition to the can’t-put-your-finger-on-it palette, she early on showed a predilection for mixing high and low and sourcing from a wide variety of Internet and brick-and-mortar venues. This affinity is evident in the mezzanine sitting area off her apartment’s master bedroom and overlooking the living and dining areas.”
— Jorge S. Arango, Introspective Magazine
