A Cozy Upper East Side Apartment for A New Family

Today, we're in the heart of New York City, stepping inside the charming Upper East Side apartment of Savvy Shields Wolfe and Nate Wolfe. Together, they’ve transformed this historic space into a cozy, elegant sanctuary for their family.

Savvy—an artist, speaker, content creator, and Miss America 2017—fell in love with the apartment’s timeless charm and saw it as the perfect blank canvas for the couple's creativity. Through thoughtfully added mouldings, custom-painted built-ins, and layers of meaningful treasures, she’s infused the home with personal touches and character.

The home's serene palette allows the space to evolve with their family, creating room for ever-growing collections of art, travel mementos, and family photos. Throughout the apartment, you’ll also find subtle nods to The Met—one of their favorite places in the city.

Savvy’s favorite space is her daughter’s nursery, where soft greens and pinks blend with pieces that are both beautiful and functional, making it a sweet retreat.
