She describes her first apartment in New York as “aggressively feminine,” a look she started shifting away from in Atlanta. “I picked this apartment for myself, but I think a lot of my space is for entertaining other people.”īainbridge was looking to create a home base that would have her feeling grounded right from the start, one decorated in a way that reflected her style evolution over the years. “In my mind, lofts are made for entertaining,” Bainbridge says. Quickly, she decided to return to Brooklyn-and the neighborhood of Clinton Hill, in particular-which was familiar turf.Ī detail of the paper Molo Design screen that curves around Bainbridge’s bedroom nook. The search for a new home was not particularly sentimental, even if returning to New York felt so: Bainbridge gave herself three days in November 2018 and saw between seven and 14 apartments each day, criss-crossing the city from Windsor Terrace to Harlem. In addition to her community of friends and colleagues, Bainbridge has deep familial ties to the city: Her father and his father were born in New York, and cousins and her godfather live there. In deciding to return to the city, Bainbridge saw it as a homecoming of sorts, but also brought a fresh perspective on how her home would take shape. “Part of what I love about being in New York is all the people you into here and there. And despite its hard-knock reputation, New York City can feel like a small town when you’ve found your neighborhood and circle of friends. For Bainbridge, New York had both, a potent combination that won her over, in spite of her initial intentions to try someplace new. What she uncovered was that it’s not just a city that calls you it’s your people. “The whole time I was, ‘This is wild, what am I doing?’” she says.

The video above includes footage from a bunch of different ones, but hopefully gives you an idea of what it’s like inside a candy factory! Here’s a hint: there aren’t any Oompa Loompas.Bainbridge, perched beside one of two solid-wood ottomans she found on Wayfair. I visited about ten different candy factories throughout Germany. People in lab coats, giant silver machines and factory lines that seemed endless. In reality, it was a very LOUD and sterile place. Maybe it was my childhood illusion from too much Willy Wonka, but I had these fantastical dreams of what it’d be like inside a candy and chocolate factory. I got to sample a cookie right off the conveyor belt (tasted just like one right out of an oven) and eat marzipan at each level of production-from when it’s just unsweetened almonds to the 100% pure almond paste to the chocolate covered Niederegger hearts. My tour, sponsored by German Sweets-a German government organization set up to promote candy & chocolate export from Germany-took me all over the country and into a variety of candy/sweet factories.
Now I’ve got a sweet tooth as much as any other folk, but I tend to not go overboard when it comes to candies.
