Stuart Post and his husband, Chris Kelley, prove that it doesn’t take an unlimited budget to create a comfortable, inviting space that reflects its occupants’ personal tastes. Post, who is head of programs for a nonprofit, and Kelley, a product manager at a financial-software company, transformed their 1,500-square-foot pad into a midcentury-style abode adorned with flea-market finds and art made by creative friends. “We feel incredibly lucky to live here,” says Post, who bought the 28th-floor co-op with Kelley two years ago. “I find this place so visually engaging.” The couple, who got married in May, have found a way to incorporate both of their unique design aesthetics into the space. “Everything here is actively enjoyed,” adds Kelley. “It really feels like it’s our joint taste—a merging of our sensibilities.”
