BOLD and
BRIGHT
Stepping into Ellen Costa and John Michalak’s
new apartment in Long Island
City feels like a ray of sunshine — literally
and figuratively. The open-plan
space is bathed in natural light thanks
to two large, arched windows, and
there are bursts of color everywhere.
The couple, both from the Poconos, Pennsylvania,
46 APRI L 2 0 1 9
have been together for 14 years (they met in
middle school!) and married for five. They originally
moved to New York for work: Costa now works in
digital marketing for Bloomingdale’s and Michalak
is at Morgan Stanley. The duo and their little Yorkie
Shih Tzu, Delaney, moved to Long Island City
almost a year ago and have created a Pinterestworthy
space perfect for their little family.
