Inside Amy Sedaris's Guest Apartment
Briefly

Amy Sedaris purchased a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village in 2017, using it as guest quarters above her home. The space hosted activities for the production of her show, including writing sessions and as a sanctuary for friends. She decorated with assistance from Adam Selman, who contributed customized garment bags and maintained the decor's integrity. Selman is now her tenant, making only minimal changes to preserve the apartment's original charm. Sedaris insists on limited alterations to honor the existing artistic work by her brother's boyfriend, Hugh Hamrick.
"I love this apartment so much," says Amy Sedaris. "It's like a tree house." The actor, crafter, and author is describing the one-bedroom she bought in 2017 as her guest quarters a floor above her own apartment in Greenwich Village.
"We wrote the third season of At Home With Amy Sedaris here," she says. "Then I turned it into a gym and little sanctuary and let my friend John Early stay there when he was in town."
"Once we did that, then it was full-tilt gingham all the way from there," says Selman, the executive creative director of Victoria's Secret.
"If she dreams it, we can make it. I am her gay handyman and seamstress all in one," says Selman.
