\nWhen interior designer Delia Kenza took over her aunt\u2019s home, she had to make it comfortable and keep its character, but bring in a little of her ownNew York interior designer Delia Kenza didn\u2019t go through any bidding wars, or an arduous search for the perfect family home to acquire her 1880s Brooklyn brownstone; the Clinton Hill property has been in her family for generations.
