      The achingly sad truth is Alex just has to make every comment every interaction every observation reflect back on himself - - -and constantly interrupted David - - - - and repeatedly used the phrase "so pretty" and "beautiful" over and over and over again when there are so many brilliant descriptive words in the world
      Sadly Alex has a way of looking perpetually peeved petulant and preoccupied with himself when interacting with others
      If David should allow his other home to be viewed please please may he alone be able to do so

    Watching the two of them interact while they toured Mr. Monn's home was more interesting and entertaining than anything on television today. I was watching this late at night, and those sandwiches made me instantly hungry, with no hope of matching them. Great fun, and I took away so many helpful pieces of information that are already influencing some design choices for my home. Thanks to both gentlemen, and to Homeworthy for producing this.

    David Monn's humility and sense of being blessed combined with his great talent is so encouraging. As a low-income person who has always loved art and beauty and is living in an 860 sq. ft. condo, I watch a lot of home tours on RUclips. I do not watch such home tours because I dream of having a huge place, owning expensive things, or giving people the impression that I am "successful." I watch them for inspiration and because I like to see different places. So often, I see huge obnoxious mansions designed, possibly, to impress with their size that are devoid of taste and meaning; they are cold, stone monuments to their owners' egos and professional success. But Alex and David are the kind of guys I'd be happy to spend an evening with. Clearly, they love beauty as it was meant to be loved. I wish them both the very best and, even though I am working class, I do not begrudge them but celebrate them. It is nice to see good people having real prosperity.

      @@karabuller Awe, thanks! It is my open mind that gets me into trouble, LOL! But I have been blessed (I really do believe blessed), and why should I begrudge people when they, too, recognize they have been blessed and did not get those things dishonestly? It would be like being mad at someone for winning a lottery.
      There are lots of really crappy wealthy sociopaths whose addiction to power and wealth ruin countless lives; those are the people I object to. But these two guys seem to be just nice people who worked hard and got a little piece of heaven on earth for their efforts. And even though my piece is much smaller, I appreciate it!
      Things don't have to be expensive to look expensive, but they also don't have to look expensive to look nice. So much can be done with just paint colors, right proportions, arrangement and cleanliness. I would put my cheap place up against some of these mansions any day. And I have peace of mind (something many rich people obviously don't have).
      Anyway, thanks! May your home always be your sanctuary!

    I know you can only make so many episodes of this quality because you have to have the hosts. Plus there’s a commendable democratic element to showing houses of all kinds around the country, which can be interesting, sometimes. But letting people listen in on this level of conversation about design between interesting thoughtful pros at the top of their fields in exquisite surroundings is special and unique on RUclips. I hope Homeworthy can keep creating more content like this.

    One of my favorites❤. #Loftperfection. Clean, and simple- allowing the interest and beauty of the objects to "breathe" and truly be appreciated. Alex as always gets to the depth of each object and his language/the words he chooses to describe each component of design is selected with such care and is artful in its own right. Keep these Alex NYC Door Knocks coming!

    I have been waiting to see the rest of David Monn’s apartment on RUclips. It was so worth the wait! The two of them together is the cherry on top!

    This such a wonderful, gorgeous place, I will watch it over and over. Another of the best things was watching the dogs 🐾, so precious!!
