Moser focuses on pieces that could move with Bell in the future.<\/p>\n<p>One of his first buys? An aluminum and alpaca stool by Brett Robinson for the closet. \u201cAs a late-20s girl living in New York City, the closet having its moment was important to me,\u201d says Bell.

In the living room, Moser sourced a Jean Lurcat tapestry from Paris and repurposed the textile into sofa pillows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did rounds and rounds of accessories,\u201d says Moser. \u201cEvery piece is collected, and each one has a story.
