Rebecca Cole, a well-known, Manhattan-based garden designer and sometime interior designer, decorated the hell out of this 3-bedroom pre-war apartment on Eastern Parkway, with the blessings of her adventurous clients.

A couple in their 50s with grown kids, this is their empty nest. They moved from Connecticut and settled in Brooklyn to enjoy city life, calling on Rebecca to create a place that would be so much fun to live in they wouldn’t regret leaving their former home.

Among the standout features:

• Brave, bold color in unusual combos like pink, brown, and chartreuse
• Hand-stenciling on walls instead of wallpaper
• The use of garden furniture indoors
• Thrift shop pieces re-upholstered in serious fabrics
• Playful light fixtures and accessories
