Just delightful - uncluttered without being cold, a color palette that's calming, the white lets the windows hurl the light into the apartment so it feels wider than than it really is. She's done a superb job.

[@valerieann2751]

Yes it is lovely! Wouldn’t change a thing

[@irmamartinez5857]

Simply beautiful and very well put. Congrats from Puerto Rico.

[@rosecardona3149]

So beautiful….congratulations!

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

Oh please really you must have to look at more apartment therapy apartments so you can really see what creativity is anyone can do what she did

[@valerieann2751]

@@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895 actually, no they cannot. Just because you like someone’s decorating style doesn’t mean that other people don’t have nice homes also. You r comment is so unnecessary and mean

[@rhaundelporter]

She has fit so much stuff into this apartment without it seeming cluttered or bulky. And the decor is beautiful! Great job!

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

I really don't think so that bed is huge for that room it overpowers everything and there are 2 huge TVs you need to look at other episodes where people live in a 350 ft² and they curate everything beautiful the apartment is too narrow not enough to work with I doubt it's 529 ft² it does not look like it

[@NiomiBlossom]

I really enjoyed this episode. She curated her home intelligently and beautifully. I'm inspired.

[@twistoffate4791]

The marble stand she created is gorgeous and impressive. There is no decor challenge for which she cannot develop a solution. Cheering her on.

I'm totally doing the marble stand at home

[@twistoffate4791]

@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult Right on. I bet you will love it.

[@CC-si3cr]

I just knew she was interior designer! My jaw dropped when she said she was a kindergarten teacher. This just let's you know you can do anything w/a space. She made her entire home look and feel like a penthouse suite.

[@chaeyoungyoon6715]

By far the best appartment. Would consult her for my own home interior. Not only the asthetic but all those practical details for organizing is really another level.

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

LOOOL, are you serious that is like put together so generically no imagination and besides I think that apartment is not 529 ft² her design is nothing spectacular anyone can do that You have to look at other episodes of apartment therapy there are people that are really good this woman just put crap together and wala anyone can do something as simple as that

[@GorgieClarissa]

I LOVE KIRSTEN ASHLEY!!!!!! Her apartment, her style, her personality - she's such a gem in the crazy hustle and and bustle of NYC!! She's made me take more consideration into making my "house" a home and focus on an area of self care I've never thought about before. So excited to see her here!!!!

[@rheagalsim7497]

Hotels would be proud. Her home is very cozy, luxe but also inviting and all her home products are curated to fit her needs

[@elizabethd.7662]

Congratulations Kristen!!! I’ve been watching her for a few years. Love her style.

[@gaildickerson2226]

Yes indeed, I also have been following her for years on KZbin. Every apartment she moves to is decorated exquisitely. She has fantastic style.

Right move, Apartment Therapy‼️ Kirsten Ashley designs rooms as the person she is, unpretentious, casual yet elegant and refined. What an inspiring and uplifting episode‼️

[@Itsgorgejess]

This a lesson in "scale". Well executed.

[@1224Serendipity]

That marble side table is a genius hack 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jamiex6072]

That marble pedestal made from tile is genius

[@reservoirfamilywell]

Such a wonderful home. It is so inspiring that you are a kindergarten teacher . So glad to see a gorgeous home for a public servant.

[@maureenclothier9468]

I loved this apartment. I loved the art she made for her living room wall. Also loved her eating area. She did a great job with decor.

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

I really don't care for her dining room said she has throws and pillows where people are gonna eat not a great style besides the big isor refrigerator is smack in the middle of the living room not a good design for our apartmeit's not her fault that the ginormous refrigerators there

[@Natasha-hg4ko]

Kirstin’s first studio caught my eye as I prepared for my move. She has such style and is just adorable. Congratulations Kirstin!

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

It's one of the simpler's designs that I've noticed anyone can pull that off not much creativity needed

[@SoFisticadedLayD]

So happy her work is being recognized by a broader audience!! 🎉

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

Lol what work?? This apartment was put together generically anyone can do that there's no real creativity just saying That piece does she calls an air loom the hinges are so bright and brassy which does not make sense That is not an airloom quality piece

[@FernandaVianna100]

Me too, such a great episode, loved to know her, I am inspired!! I love Apatment Therapy !!

[@reneeboone9730]

​@@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895 Are you a troll or something. So much negativity. We get it, you don't like her apartment, but do you have to 💩 on comments that do with this superior butt attitude.

[@leonardogarrido]

This girl executed that space perfectly. The pedestal idea is something I will do

[@christinaruiz4183]

I absolutely love Kirstens style and have followed her channel for years. This tour of her home really sums up her whole KZbin channel. Kirsten, your home is beautiful, and it's nice to see it get recognized! Also, you did a great job giving the tour 🥰

[@WildWest144]

What a classy, gorgeous, cozy apartment. The heirloom piece and her decor and color choices are a huge win. Good job Kirsten!!

[@lizzysbeautyshowetc.6895]

That is not even an airloom I do not like that piece and the hardware is awful

[@Chutney1luv]

Necessity is definitely the Art of Invention! I love how she decorated each area and made her marble end table. Also her home made art and arrangements of her furniture, are spectucular! Her storage creation has made her Apartment her home. Good for you Kirsten ! 👏💜💛💙

I love everything about this apartment and how it is decorated. Even though Kirsten has a lot of "stuff" she organizes it like she doesn't. I especially love her table and chairs. My granddaughter ruined her kitchen table with acetone also but nothing a place mat couldn't cover. I live in a condo so she has given me a lot of decorating ideas.
