Wow, the world with books and luxury. Fabulous and exquisite decor. Thanks you 💐

[@BrokeDadProductions]

Wow! What an amazing collaboration by using restraint you allowed the homeowners taste and choices to shine. Another beautiful outcome Ms Manzo.

[@dhgemein2]

As a book lover, I'm salivating at the sight of the library. Kudos to Miriam and the home owner!

[@MegaGinki]

Fabulous and exquisite! Thank you Miriam!

[@burstallpass4394]

What a stunning apartment. It was a treat to watch this.

[@tricia8727]

The tips in this video really allowed me to understand how to balance substantial wood furniture pieces with other materials and colors in a room. I had watched a ton of other designers' videos, but could never fully grasp what they were saying. You have such a gift for explaining concepts in a way i can truly absorb. Thank you so much for your time and effort to explain design to us. ❤

[@catherinestrong4470]

Gorgeous rooms everything look so good

[@unikreations2258]

The best interior design tour and ideas I’ve seen. Just beautiful and elegant. I love the details you’ve explained about the custom pieces of furniture, such as combining leather and velvet materials to create luxury and coziness. I also love how you incorporated materials to shield the sun and drapes that absorb noise from the outside. So well thought out. Just absolutely clever, creative, and such joy to learn from your expertise and creativeness.

[@eddiealva4453]

You are really Talented!! Love everything about the house especially the big wooden door covering the electric board. Thank you for your video.

[@ThekimG313]

Wow loved the library and how the wallpaper looks with the wood pieces. Beautiful.

[@johnnycomelately6341]

Well done and professionally presented

[@lagunagirl1347]

You made a home that was already beautiful and elevated it to spectacular. I noted the pooch on the bed in the primary bedroom before pic and it was so cute that you were joined to say goodbye. Wonderful how that home represents the owner in so many beautiful ways. Very inspiring presentation.

[@haleymist09]

So shocked and happy to see ikea pop up! Easily updated to fit in with this elegant apartment.

[@seanny3283]

A simply stunning home. The difference made with subtle details that allow a room to shine are amazing. I recently subscribed to your channel after first hesitating. I love modern and transitional style and I don't see much of that on your channel. HOWEVER, the level of luxury and ingenious design solutions along with the way you explain concepts and why you do what you do, lends itself to any style. You go much further in depth than any of the other channels I've seen, and even though I may not have the high end budget I can truly get a high end look. You have an incredible eye for original designs and attention to detail in everything you do. Thank you so much for explaining design to us and not just spouting a bunch of rules to follow.

Miriam has exquisite touch to every project

[@matteopicco6584]

Madam...you are truly a Genius, amazing taste, really sofisticated

[@sharronhagen8442]

Hi Miriam, thank you for sharing another beautifully renovated home. I appreciate the tips to combine modern furnishings with antiques. The before and after photos show a dramatic change in the decor. Love it!

[@maursfitzsimons5786]

I thoroughly enjoy your work, yourcidea are both practical yet so tasteful and elegant. I love your energy and your strong work ethic.

[@helenaneumann1872]

I love books and have a number of them, a huge number, so I'm so glad you made this video. The apartment is incredibly tasteful. I will implement the window film tip because I collect art and especially want to hang my engravings differently.

[@susanparsons9365]

You did an amazing job incorporating his antiques.

[@gloriaturner8114]

Classic Miriam! My husband watched for the first time too. I love your exquisite taste.

[@mindel8271]

I love your work and although my career is not related at all, you have a flaming voice and a kind demeanor. Thank you for being so genuine and an amazing designer.

[@pjc2262]

it is so inspiring. Thanks for the great content!

[@Heather11268]

Amazing, thank you.

[@JimOverbeckgenius]

I have an Italian villa whose books overflowed into an Art Library I had built recently to house the ever-growing surplus. Well done, guys > Books are IT.

[@miriammanzointeriors]

Hi thanks for watching these can be ordered through our office. Please email us for further information

[@miisepaisamaela]

Love it

[@Magickhan10]

Please do a video on wall paneling

[@velvi7977]

the best are the books us always

[@odb5369]

Wow! Never seen built-ins like that in an apartment. So luxurious yet practical! What product is used to add UV protection to the windows?

[@jille9650]

She has the links in the description.

[@cynthiadefehr6272]

Amazing. Please, will you give information on the film you put on the windows to reduce heat?

[@sonalibarve7231]

Also I have noticed you have used bright colour rugs instead edit of muted. Would like to understand the reason for the samw

[@MiaAnstine]

What is the film that you put on those windows in the dining area? Do you have a link? I need that for a sunroom at my house and have been looking.

[@jille9650]

She has the links in the description.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked 👍🤪🤩

[@lovelyindeed4526]

Beautiful anyone know where the desk lamps in the library are from? Thank you

[@miriammanzointeriors]

These are Ralph Lauren

[@michaelsaven7157]

Absolutely nothing I didn't love!

[@zehrahousani9076]

Did you design the dog too!

[@cynthiadefehr6272]

What is the name of the film you applied to the windows?

[@miriammanzointeriors]

Hi. It’s a UV filter

[@sofiep7861]

Gorgeous tour! I am a bit nauseous because the camera always moving around when taking the same clip where you stay still and talk about something. Could you consider have the cameraman stays still when shooting the same clip please?

[@MTMF.london]

The joinery/carpentry in this apartment is excellent. Not so keen on those massive leather arm chairs though.

[@triscofr]

It's a shame the old red colour had to go. It gave some movement to the room.

[@sonjas6481]

Homes should not look like institutions. I can't imagine people sitting around with a mug of coffee in pyjamas reading. The red wall was much better than the replacement.

[@hanvandewal917]

Lack of imagination is not a reason to disapprove of a life style. Try to imagine it broadens your view.

[@naejttenroc6759]

We don't get to see the room because the camera is on her.

[@sonalibarve7231]

I loved other houses shown by you. But somehow for this house the wooden finish and asthetics of the rest of the house were not matching.

[@iasonastassis3544]

Im sorry, but gray I feel like there are much better colours that could be chosen...

[@sonjas6481]

Too much grey, too much chrome, and a black leather settee to accent the antique bookcase? - not a very warm feeling. The apartment feels cold and sterile.

[@cynthiatorres6545]

Beautiful however I hear a lot of “I” didn’t like this or “ I “ didn’t like that . It’s no longer the esthetic of the OWNER but that of the interior decorator.

[@patrickmcdaniel8123]

The apartment = great. The books = great. The furniture = great. The art work.........uhm...... not so much.

[@sandravega6645]

I wish the camera person would showcase more of the beautiful living space instead of twirling it around so quickly. I would really have liked to see your paneling above the foyer door. Camera person is mostly zoomed on presenter and not as much the beautiful home details.

[@lindasisk5420]

The curtains stopping a half-foot from the floor is an amateur distraction.

[@miriammanzointeriors]

hi. keen eye, there is actually a ledge that sticks out further than the overhead bulkhead would allow us to extend the drapes. as a professional we need to work around existing architecture to provide the best solution for the clients

[@lindasisk5420]

@@miriammanzointeriors Thank you for explaining - your taste is quite refined, so that really stood out!

[@ronwalker4849]

THIE WAREHOUSE STILL LOOKS LIKE AN EMPTY, VACANT, COLD AND VAPID ENVIRONMENT. NOTHING FOR THE EYE TO PERCEIVE ANY BEAUTY ANYWHERE

[@user-ni3jv4ip4g]

Nothing matches

[@Kathleenpoors]

Don’t lean on the furniture

[@rafacamacho1837]

All of the rooms seem cluttered. This is what I'd imagine a wealthy hoarder's home would look like.
