In this Open House home tour: Step inside the Harlem apartment of Kathleen Coy, a chef and entrepreneur based in New York City. This three-bedroom home functions as not only a living space but also a place of daily creation that is shaped by cooking and family life.
The tour begins with her daughter Nola’s bedroom, a compact space designed for visual impact. A tent-style bed, a pink accent wall, and a large library define the room’s playful and imaginative character. Across the hall, a multi-functional room reflects the realities of New York living. A Murphy bed accommodates guests, while a desk and built-in storage support work and daily routines. Meanwhile, the primary bedroom introduces a darker, more grounded palette. A jungle-inspired wallpaper sets the tone, paired with deep green linens and a personal wedding sign that anchors the space.
Next stop: The main living area that brings together the living room, dining space, and kitchen. A dark sectional contrasts with the bright, naturally lit room, while the dining area incorporates mixed seating and a repurposed bench to accommodate larger gatherings. A play kitchen for Nola and a chaise lounge positioned near park views add both function and comfort. A gallery wall of family photos connects the space to multiple generations.
And in the kitchen? The heart of the home serves as the center of Kathleen’s work as a chef. With ample space for cooking and direct views toward the city and nearby greenery, it supports both everyday meals and professional preparation. In this space, Kathleen prepares one of her go-to dishes, chicken fajitas, highlighting her approach to cooking as both a craft and a way to bring people together.
