With a little work and a lot of vision, they’ve discovered that the smallest and most unassuming space can become a bedroom, a work space, even a secret cocktail bar.When Jane Herro, 30, a jewelry designer and a saleswoman at Realty Collective, first saw her one-bedroom apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn, she was most excited by the small coat closet behind a curtain next to the front door. It looked just big enough for her jeweler’s bench. “I worked in my bedroom in my last place,” said Ms. Herro, who is originally from Milwaukee, and came to Red Hook after stints in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, and Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan. “When I saw this place I thought, that’s perfect. I love working from home, but I didn’t want to look at my work all the time, so I needed a closet where I could close it.”The jeweler’s bench, which she bought at Metalliferous, did indeed fit the space perfectly. She pays around $2,000 a month in rent for her place, a price tag that’s still a shock after living in a Milwaukee studio that cost $500 a month. The trade-off is an artist-friendly neighborhood and a landlord who is understanding about the Saturdays she spends hammering away at strips of sterling silver or soldering small items with a torch.968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯
