On first glance, Anath Benais (anathmusic.com) and Pablo Vergara's rose-colored abode appears to be the dwelling of Moroccan flower children. Not quite, but close: The married couple (she's a singer-songwriter and dance instructor from Israel and France; he's a pianist from Chile) have decked out their cozy apartment with global trinkets, velvet accents and beaded curtains. The 900-square-foot space, which they've owned for three years, also doubles as a recording studio, with pianos, keyboards, guitars and accordions strewn among the exotic kitsch. "What I like the best is that every piece has a story and a past," says Benais. "I'm attracted to the fantasy world—the imaginary world."
