Rainbow Brite: Alum's colorful home featured on MTV

Artist Apryl Miller sits atop
a hand-crafted stool.

Step into this chic Manhattan flat with a 360 degree view of New York City, and you'll find yourself in an exciting universe bursting with bright rainbow hues created, designed and decorated by Fashion Construction & Design alumna Apryl Miller. From a capacious bathroom with more than 8,000 hand-cut tiles to a foyer splattered Jackson Pollock-style to a tub decorated in 15 patterns of Italian glass, this apartment screams pizazz.

And of course, this home has not gone unnoticed. MTV recently featured the apartment on a segment of Teen Cribs.

In the clip below, daughters Dylan and Lyris introduce the world to their vibrant pad:
