Grayson and the Teak Antiques — House Tour

Name: Grayson Smith
Location: Baxter Neighborhood; Grand Rapids, MI
Size: 1,000 square feet
Years lived in: 1.5 years; Rented

I park on the street and walk up the front steps of the duplex where Grayson lives. The porch on the left side of the duplex has a stereotypical college appearance: it’s covered with empty beer cans and a few plastic lawn chairs. Luckily I’m knocking on the duplex’s right side door. Grayson opens the door as I’m looking to the left. “Just ignore that side,” he says with a laugh, as he welcomes me into his tailored yet airy apartment. Each furniture piece has clean lines and the accessories are thoughtfully styled, from wire pyramids on a wall to Kim Kardashian West’s book of selfies on a side table.

Music from The Smiths and Lana Del Rey floats up from the basement through the floor vents, creating surround sound as we tour his carefully curated home.
