Allegra LaViola, who owns the namesake Allegra LaViola Gallery (179 East Broadway between Jefferson and Rutgers Sts; 917-463-3901, allegralaviola.com), bought her one-bedroom in an Art Deco 1930s apartment complex last September. "I grew up in a house full of lots of antiques, so the whole ultra-sleek modern look has never appealed to me," she says. She lives there with her boyfriend, Forrest Cole, who owns Brooklyn restaurant Loading Dock (170 Tillary St at Gold St, Downtown Brooklyn; 646-355-7518, loadingdock.tumblr.com), and their Miniature Pinscher, Molly.

Zarin Fabrics & Home Furnishings 314 Grand St between Allen and Orchard Sts (212-925-6112, zarinfabrics.com)
Since LaViola's bedroom lacks a closet, she had this fabric store design a curtain track that would allow her to create a makeshift one behind hanging drapes. "It's such a great resource," she enthuses. "If I can ever avoid going to Home Depot, I do."

Saifee Hardware 114 First Ave at 7th St (212-979-6396, saifeehardware.com)
"For all of the little household things, I buy my stuff here," says Cole of this hardware store that also stocks gardening tools and small home accessories.
