    At the beginning of this video I was rolling my eyes and was thinking here we go, another obnoxious privileged person with abnormal taste. Then it becomes clear, this is a woman who is genuinely excited about her work, decorating and design, having a wonderful home and just being a multifaceted creative. Congratulations to her for finding ways to get her passions and projects through.

    I love the way she puts all her colours, textures and materials. It all ties in together with the furniture she graded it utterly beautifully with soft and hard edges. She kept the historic features of the town house and I really appreciate that she spent time restoring the beauty of the home. Her bathroom is so amazing mixing creams, whites, textures and I love her stand alone bath tub it complements the beauty of the room. Bathrooms can get boring but she kept it visually interesting it doesn't feel generic in anyway shape or form and that is what makes your home unique.

      Athenäs I hear you but..... NO. Sorry, even when working in the fashion industry in NYC and working at (only after being a lifelong customer of the same) Bergdorf’s more “mainstream” sister store (rhymes with “Needless Markups”) I can tell you that EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE MONEY THEN GOD just winced at that astronomical $ NINETEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR price tag on the “quirky and suggestively approachable because it’s vintage” vintage coffee table. I’ve watched a customer spend an easy $10,000 in a couple of hours afternoon on the third floor (read: where the super expensive designer shit is located- like Bruno Cuchinelli and The Row and Balenciaga and ..... you know, Donna Karan (her actual designer line obviously) - oh and an insane and absolutely preposterous luxury fur vault for clearly all of the below 60 degree days we EVER HAVE here (that and re-enacting Dr. Shivago on an ALWAYS EMPTY Sunday work hours or the GHOST TOWN that is ALL OF JULY also...... the place is good though at giving the people what they want, though, like that customer I was trailing about before, and I’m here to tell you, don’t think she wasn’t telling her sales person (who happened to be family- it actually doesn’t happen THAT often) to grab her some good pre-Xmas Presale because I don’t care how rich you are- universally EVERYONE knows the sharp pain and agony of those Vince leather pants and/or iconic leather jacket full on price tag full price stabbing that is $1200-$2000!!!! I mean come the F on, Vince! What am I??!?!! made of money????! Lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

      @@lovelyjanuary I'm one of those persons that can afford a 20k coffee table and that buys bags of 15k. And I live surrounded of people that can do the same. So, let me give my 2 cents... I really dont care about the price of the bags as they dont go in Sales, but all the rest of my clothes I buy in off-price. I wait until is end of season to grab most of my clothes and shoes. ONLY because I see no point on paying double for something that in 2 months will cost half or less. But yes, I do have 20-40k pieces of furniture in my house. Pieces that are timeless and last forever are worth the tag. I generally spend about 100k per year in bags, shoes, clothes and accessories, sometimes I spend 30k in one single day shopping around. Still, when I renovate one of our houses I do it on a budget (whatever the budget is, most of the times is 200-400k). But without having a budget and with so many beautiful things on the market it would be 5x more. So, budget means something different for everyone.
