Apartment tour: 1BR in the East Village

Amanda Barlow, a marketing director and FIT adjunct professor, lets us peek inside the East Village apartment she decorated with the help of interior designer Jeanie Engelbach. Barlow shops at home-decor stores such as West Elm, Crate & Barrel and Anthropologie to create her vibrant abode, influenced by pinups and Mexico’s Day of the Dead.
