Oh, I love this townhome. But, I couldn’t stop looking at her dress! The colours and patterns and style, with pockets, plus it looks beautiful on her.

[@janetcorey5102]

I agree, her taste carried with so many patterns and styles but the dress was a winner and she wears it well🌺

[@DD-hy1nl]

I agree, I really liked her dress the best...And her two cute little fur babies too!

[@cbisme6414]

Me too Tracey, it was what grabbed my attention in the thumbnail, gorgeous print, and yes, she does wear it well.

[@PriHL]

It's by Zimmermann. Beautiful!

[@kimstahl6833]

You are right. That dress is so pretty.

[@gonefishing3644]

That beautiful patchwork dress made of assorted print fabrics. Wow. It's the best thing in the apartment.

[@carolynratliff1380]

Her dress is GORGEOUS….love the gingerbread cocktail napkins and the cheetah chair….so pretty…please hang those pretty plates on your walls…..love it all. Thankyou. Hugs carolyn

[@cooperwesley1536]

It's always so refreshing to see a home that is clearly a one-of-a-kind reflection of the owner's personal aesthetic. Had I seen the home prior to seeing Christina, I could have predicted that she'd be wearing exactly what she's wearing. Lesson: In a world of white, beige, and grey cookie-cutter spaces, be a Christina Nielsen... and be fabulous. Bravo!

[@nagolhayze9366]

I love that she has both a baby bear and a very small yapping dog as pets. Amazing. Thank you.

[@aujkalenic4203]

The entire space reminds me of my meager beginnings! It was a time when everyone just passed along to me and my young family their old belongings, ( furniture, drapes, linens, dinnerware. Etc...) I miss many of those items, I am 68 yrs old now and have downsized a lot! God bless one & all for all the treasures passed my way....❤️

[@AngelaPaulina1989]

First of all she’s flawless and her dress is stunning! Second I luv her style! Her pace kicks ass :)

[@mariettedemarest5173]

I like her eclectic style, it is very relatable and her dress looks great on her, she's pretty and not out of reach.

[@maxgoupit1566]

She’s absolutely stunning. The apartment is nice but she’s beautiful. Steals the show! 15/10

Loyalty: 💯😉

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I'm into eclectic, whimsical and fun, so this is very relatable to my sense of style. I wish I could include a photo of my place. lol

Beautiful home and interior, lovely to see a normal person tour around her home, a relaxing space for a wife and husband. Awesome.

[@cosmicharmony1321]

The dogs are so lovely and give an extra warmth to an already a beautifully done house.

[@marsery]

Gosh, I am going to re consider throwing a lot of old " stuff" from French house going into the apartment ...this lady is so talented to mix things and style and instead of everything fitted and custom made , there's an old charm and everything works and looks so personal and stylish and elegant with a "je ne sais quoi" . Superb !

[@ladymeropi]

Oh My Goodness, Yes the DRESS!!! Absolutely stunning. I want a dozen. Of course, this town house apartment is beyond beautiful and she has such great taste. She should buy it!!!! How could she ever move out, unless she is leaving the city... Renting that place has to be more than a mortgage would cost. And loved her two adorable dogs. It is hard to imagine that she cooks most every night! How does she manage to have the time and energy to keep everything looking perfect, no doubt work, walk her dogs, and COOK??? My hat goes off to her!

[@nmj2411]

What I love is that this is a real home, as in real people live here and things don’t look like you can’t touch them. It’s beautiful!

[@bekahhooper9852]

Such a pretty home! We love the home tours Homeworthy!!!! Pls don't ever stop them!

Homeworthy is one of the busiest channels I follow. Enjoying a weekend of bingeing videos. Such amazing people, stories and spaces. But it’s the production values that make the videos so enjoyable. Congrats Homeworthy!

[@SusanChristmas]

A beautiful apartment. The kitchen is amazing. I love when a kitchen feels more like a room and doesn't just look like a place to cook food.

[@HannaARTzink]

Very nicely collected objects, beautiful dress! The most prominent objects besides two awesome fireplaces are television screens. Little display of tea set is just precious!!

[@plumercrs1386]

Very cozy. She made the rental all her own. During the tour I forgot it was a rental. Very nicely decorated.

[@sandralashley4718]

Gorgeous and warm, her layering and mixing of color and pattern is obviously very sophisticated and her understanding of interiors (and fashion) has helped her create something very unique and special. Loved it, and the puppies. 🙂

[@karmenrockelman6789]

Beautiful. The mix of textiles, the British /South African influences, as well as antique juxtaposed with modern pieces create a lovely space of energy and calm.

[@jimfuller201]

We sort of share the same concepts in design. I am now living in Finland and starting life again at 65 years old and such a complete different lifestyle. You and your husband are blessed to have found such a sanctuary in the city , especially a rental unit !

[@bostonviewer5430]

Kudos to this young lady for finding wonderful, older furniture and putting an upholsterer to work. I was doing that 40 years ago to the chagrin of my friends who questioned, why I would want to have some else's old furniture? Now I have a home full of wonderful comfy chairs and sofas and nothing went into a dump. That George Smith sofa would tip the bank, if it were new, at more than $15,000!!! I have an old baker arm chair that's been through 2 fabrics and if it were new it would be $6000. Cost me a little over a thousand including fabric. You just have to have imagination and be willing to find the fabric... which can be frustrating and fun! But then you know you have something no one else has. I wonder what her upholsterer said when she brought that wing chair and sofa in. Over these 40 years they all said the same thing to me "where did you get that" and smile ))

[@jennifersutton3115]

Hi Moji, Mia and Christina. Your home is comfy and colorful. What matter to me is the story and character. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@terryarrow702]

A beautiful home with a variety of gorgeous fabrics. I love the rug in the bedroom & the small chairs beautifully arranged. But her little doggies are adorable 🥰

[@DiannaGibbs-h2j]

Thank you for inviting us in to see your home! Love the purple glass on the fireplace! Love maximalist style. Every person is so different and I enjoy experiencing different styles, art, textiles and how people integrate it all into every day life! So interesting!

[@moormorebooks5103]

What I love most about some of these tours is the problem solving. The use of the panels in her bedroom to reconfigure her room was beautifully executed. The mix of fabrics throughout her home was soothing just to watch. I so wanted to see more of that kitchen….it was beautiful! I also love reupholstering furniture and that mustard sofa was one of my favorite pieces. Lastly….that dress…needed a segment of its own…beautiful ❤.

[@josephrocha142]

I liked the living room and the dining room but I really liked them after seeing the kitchen. Opening up the kitchen just made everything flow together. Very nice.

[@kermitthefrog3632]

A lovely apartment and her dress is beautiful.

[@leadoucet1432]

I've seen this home before and am very happy to see it again as it was a longer segment with added details. Lovely home with great style. Love her dress!

[@carolnacarato4448]

I've see it somewhere before also, but wasn't sure until she came to the kitchen. What a beautiful and unique rental. How fortunate to be able to live there!

This apartment is really one-of-kind! There are so many treasures that I wanted to spend time looking at. Those little dogs are just too adorable. I thought she was holding a tiny black bear cub when she opened the door! And, can we talk about that dress…magical!!

[@rosehill1595]

This tour is a real treat, a window into the mind of a gifted designer. A truly livable space. It feels effortless and somehow serene while still plenty colorful. My absolute favorite is the awesome dining room. Stellar design mix - yet understated, functional and not in your face at all. Brava!:)

[@sheilastahl633]

Tracey below comment, I also love the dress and it is stunning on her and her showing and description of each is very nice and interesting.

[@tmm2684]

This is such a beautiful and eclectic apartment. It looks very European, collected over time and elegant. I especially love the kitchen and the toile flowers on the mantel. Thank you for featuring this lovely, creative young designer!

[@ellalaird7162]

You can tell that she breathes colour and style. This design is very well executed. I’m not huge fan of layering patterns and colours but I’d happily take this!!

[@nicolerogers912]

I love this home! Everything melds together so well. I like the idea of incorporating what ever you like into a home, and not sticking too closely to any one style

[@lorrainebrown3881]

Absolutely love the architectural details of the apartment and how you've interwoven a sensational international classical traditional style with a modern twist. You eye is amazing! Best home ever!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@oliviacasino8888]

Immediately knew I’d love this tour of interiors, as the hostess, Christina, is dressed in a riot of color accessorized with golden loops and to tone it all down her hair was a relief of classic chic. And indeed, the interiors continued to reflect her exquisite style and taste. Congrats on a winning, highly enjoyable Homeworthy!

[@tommoncrieff1154]

I love her taste. She introduced the dogs first which shows her priorities are a lived in, happy home. Definitely the English vibe of just chuck everything in because if you love it you’ll find a place for it, with dogs too. Slightly surprised she says ‘pre war’ for the beautiful period apartment. ‘Pre war’ in England would be mid to late 1930s, not absolutely every period before 1940. We would say late Victorian.

[@maritzanc]

But she is in America not England

Very cleverly put together. A perfect of example of buying what you like & somehow it all goes together. The Moroccan kitchen tile works so well, I also like the large panels behind the bed. High ceilings really are a gift. By the way, Christina reminds me of a young Kristin Scott Thomas (actress). This was fun & had a real lightness to it that I enjoy.

Loved this home and decoration. The spirit of the town house and the touch of Christina gived a beautiful effect. Would love to have the same home... so let me know if you find one for me.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Although something feels missing for me (I think it's the overkill of bright white paint everywhere), Christina has made her home feel effortlessly put together. It feels deceptively simple and easy. That's real talent, a great eye for proportion and texture amongst other natural skills. I love the architecture of this property. Beautiful, thanks for uploading this video. Much enjoyment.

[@gingin1050]

Its not the white paint.

[@ladymeropi]

White paint on all the walls probably has to do with it being a rental and her not wanting to repaint when she moves out. But I agree, color on the walls would add so much.

[@08pixiedust]

I think it's her furniture layout. It feels quite haphazard, although all the pieces themselves are nice.

[@tigermoon44]

Loved the apartment but didn't like her decorative style which is a first for me. The kitchen was fantastic and I would love to have that kitchen in my home. The fireplaces were beautiful!

Stand up Homeworthy! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You have truly become my favorite channel! You bring the most interesting and beautiful homes to us. It’s so inspiring! Especially for those of us that truly love design and have no desire to sit and look at copy-cat interiors duplicated from a showroom or catalog. I get a little giddy when I see a new video. 🥰

[@patriciasalem3606]

This is exactly how I feel. I've had a rough week, and it was nice to wake up this morning and find a new Homeworthy tour to enjoy with my coffee. This channel has given me so much inspiration to make little improvements in my own space, especially when it comes to mixing textiles or pieces from different eras. I'm definitely a maximalist, which I feel is not usually represented in magazines or videos, in favor of more cookie cutter monochrome interiors with no personal items on display.

[@Homeworthy]

Thank you so much--that means a ton!

[@Homeworthy]

Thank you, Patricia! Glad this video lifted your spirits!

[@AthalieM]

this is the third time I've seen a YT home tour of this not terribly remarkable home. halfway in, I was like...haven't I seen this before? (I did remember the backsplash tiles in the kitchen). in general, I've noticed that at least a third of the tours on here have been done already. I really enjoy this channel and the clear care Alison puts into these tours, but it would be great to see more people whose homes are not well featured elsewhere already.

[@Ricoque-u2m]

Agreed about the same homes, but also same decor across the same class and same dresses in different colors. It feels modern day stepford wives.

[@patriciasalem3606]

I suspect it's a matter of what's showing up in your feed. For me, it's the first time I'm seeing these homes. I get the repeats with other channels on YT but not Homeworthy. Maybe some of the homes are less remarkable, but that's kind of what I like. I can't get inspired by watching a tour of someone's $30M ultra modern home in Beverly Hills; I want to see homes that look like something I could create myself - flaws, budget finds, and all. Also, I like that the Homeworthy tours are mostly around NYC because I live in the SoCal desert and am having city lust. Just one's personal taste, I guess. :)

[@lornamarie5544]

Definitely true, this channel must just get contacted by really thirsty people who are desperate to get their houses all over the internet. But they are some nice looking properties.

[@markcampbell369]

I would suspect that the pool of people willing to expose their homes on the internet is quite small. Look at the comments of homes on this channel - some are truly rude and awful. PLUS, for security reasons, some people may not want their homes online. Others are so incredibly desperate for attention that they are willing to do so. Who knows??

[@patriciasalem3606]

@@markcampbell369 It seems like most of the people I see giving home tours are interior designers, bloggers in the design field, or influencers, who want the free exposure for their careers.
