Sleeping Beauty

Artist Ruben Toledo and fashion designer Isabel Toledo took a rundown midtown Manhattan space and turned it into a beautiful and inspiring loft home and atelier. Read about the renovation process (dropped ceilings and moldy carpeting were just a few of the horrors dealt with), their fascinating lives — and to see what those little numbers on the photos refer to — here. That bedroom is so pretty — and Ruben's studio is pretty much every artist's dream, too.
