Why

[@carolz5090]

I thought that the excitement, knowledge and pride he had about the apartment and its interior design was really wonderful. It was great to see that this couple actively participated in the selection of the furnishings and didn’t rely solely on a designer. They bought pieces they like using, seeing or have significance to them and that’s what is most important. No, not everything was to my taste, such as the neon sign on the wall, but there were also many pieces I enjoyed. Good for him for caring about social issues and being supportive. I’ve noticed that before with some pro sports figures, through their teammates and playing together they’ve developed an awareness. It was lovely to see such an intelligent and involved young man, and I’m glad we got to meet his wife and especially...the puppy!

[@meiligupta1853]

agree. neon sign needs to come down.

[@eyespy3001]

@@meiligupta1853 And the fake ceiling rafters. Its a new-construction luxury building, not a barn. There's nothing but aluminum behind all that drywall. You're not fooling anyone. The reality is, they either hired a designer who is so out of touch that they just did a search on Pinterest for *trendy*, or they're so out of touch they just instagrammed *trendy* and went to town on Wayfair. Either way, it's a lack of good taste.

[@carolinejohnson1103]

As someone who went to college and uni studying fine art and who doesn't know him or basketball I love his eloquence about the art he has - Antony Gormley for starters & his juxtaposition explanation - I feel like I'm listening to my lecturer (someone who genuinely loves and appreciates art)! Lovely home not a showpiece but a beautiful home.
