NSW: 1502/184 Forbes Street, Darlinghurst NSW 2010

2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car

• An apartment in Darlinghurst is up for sale, and it has one unique selling point, its covered floor to ceiling in pink touches. 
• The vendor wanted a place to have the comfort and feel of a hotel room, but also one where he could live year-round and feel like home. 
• The renovation was unanimously anchored by one colour – pink – and included painting walls and some ceilings pink with occasional black interior accents.
• Chanel marble was used for the kitchen bench top, and pink furnishings were used throughout the home.
• The property also features a pink bath, which is not something you see everyday.
