    Perfection. Must be so much fun to live in this place. And to be quite frank it all looks achievable. One could fake the eyes, mirror stuff, get simple graphic posters, decoupage an old piece of furniture. It really isn't about the expensive stuff, it's about having fun, mixing silly things but not allowing them to take over the apartment but curating them. Love this so much!

      Xenomoly Bloom and that’s why individual taste is totally subjective and what looks like a comfy cozy whimsical environment to me looks like garbage to you.
      We can’t all be the same THANK GOD.
      To each their own, some people like rustic, some modern, some people like minimalism and others feel good with some organized chaos/clutter.
      Despite my personal preferences however I’d never refer to someone’s home that they love and worked hard on as looking like garbage.
      Maybe your comment is intended to change paradigms and enlighten the world?

      When I connected the name and the accent I wondered if this was the guy that the beebs beautiful people was based on. I feel like that was a show that I felt some connection to as a queer teen, especially compared to all the dour dramatic LGBT media at the time. But people don't seem to remember or reference it much compared to other older gay media.

    What an incredible, beautiful apartment and wonderful to see such amazing people. This apartment may be my favorite interior EVER and is an inspiration to anyone who has an avant garde or eclectic bone in their body. Jean Michel Frank could not have done this better. Adler is a genius!!!!
