Living in NYC is expensive. As such, a furniture designer decided to negotiate the rent for his portion of a 1887 mansion in Brooklyn. His offer? For reduced rent, he'll renovate the top floor. The results are hand-crafted and amazing, with slate floors, built-in bookcases, and custom millwork. In all it cost him $60,000. Apartment Therapy has photos. [Apartment Therapy via Curbed NY]
