The popular HGTV interior designer Taniya Nayak is taking viewers of her show "My Favorite Space" on a tour of her own condo in the latest episode. Nayak's Lower Mills condo fronts the Neponset River and features a modern design furniture theme throughout.

Nayak also operates a design business out of Boston, and shares her penthouse with her restauranteur husband Brian O'Donnell. The condo is located in a top corner of the building and has a lovely river view from all the windows. Nayak completely customized the unit by knocking down walls and replacing them with an open floor plan. She favors a modern neutral design theme, and uses this extensively in her own home. The couple plans to eventually move into a house and so she didn't go to crazy with the design to ensure she would eventually be able to sell it.
