With his apartment's renovation complete, Kevin had the pleasure of adding the decorative touches that make the space his own. Take a closer look at some of the apartment's hidden charms.

Kevin spotted his vintage crystal chandeliers at a shop in Palm Beach, Florida. After making their 1,036-mile trip to his apartment, he spent a weekend cleaning the hundreds of pieces. They now are now the dazzling focal point of the dining room.
