HOUSE TOUR | $60,000 Bronx, New York home converted into a $325,000 Victorian palace

[@simpleton2090]

Beautiful. It is your own style and it made you happy. To the lady in the comments who said they “dropped acid” in order to decorate this way- not every person must indulge in drugs in order to enjoy life and be inspired.

[@CharlotteMagdeliene]

This woman is living her best life- she’s great

[@NathalieNieves]

I've watched almost every video of this channel and this is the only one I commented on because I absolutely LOVED the originality, ingenuity and obvious love that went into this home. Quality content, thank you to Emory for opening her home to the internet!

[@hrh597788]

The place is mysterious in a beautiful way. It makes me think of New Orleans or a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. There’s something magical about it.

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

I love her response as to why they did it, it was a manifestation of their love for each other! Don't sleep on The Bronx, there is a lot of culture, beautiful architecture, and eloquent, talented, educated people! That said, being more of a minimalist, the thought of cleaning that apartment gave me anxiety!

[@ladymeropi]

Victorian had servants to maintain their homes, even the middle class could afford help. I hope she employs a housekeeper to keep her beautiful home looking its best. No fun if all you do is clean when you're home.

[@mimibuckles]

I know! That was so touching how she put it!

[@Peggyanns]

Both my parents are from The Bronx. I love it.

[@shsherwood7540]

All the color is absolutely amazing and the work her husband did is amazing. So unique and definitely opulent.

[@antonellabassi3466]

So much fun! I esp. love the green tile, the blue and white dining nook and the oversized art in the bathroom. So tired of minimalist greige places!

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

I AGREE! When looking at these types of tours, I just think it's so hilarious to read the comments of all of the minimalists. Some of them sounds so aggrieved and so upset! I think it's just hilarious. There seems to be a resentful tone as if these people don't have a right to design and fill their spaces the way they want to. I love these kinds of spaces there's so much character and use of color. I am just still thinking in my mind of that green wall it just looks so attracting it draws you. Of course having that piano yes I love that. Some of us like things and pictures and textures and patterns and colors and the storyline...

[@christopherc2415]

The sweetest thing! "How do you translate love in design..."

[@hd-xc2lz]

Most interesting room for me was the living room with the tile and wood ceiling. It strikes me that the ceiling wouldn't work without the mirrored wall, its visual weight would oppress a narrow room with windows at one end, and the mirrored wall beautifully both doubles one's impression of the room's width, and adds light. Fun to make something left over by previous tenant work for your design needs.

[@SisterFromAnotherPlanet]

"How do you translate love into design"--I love that. (I have a huge ornate mirror next to my dining table too!)

[@rebekahdavis5935]

We didn't get to see the kitchen :( What a beautiful home, love the description of affordable opulence and that space being a visual love note between her and her husband. Love all of this

[@Mega9830]

SORROUND YOURSELF WITH THE THINGS THAT YOU LIKE AND BE HAPPY. WONDERFUL JOB. 👍

Dang! Amazing!!! 63k in NYC??? 8 years ago??? Where was I? Sleep? (I guess so)

[@elenamaria8063]

I really wanted to see the kitchen! Loved the tour! 🥰

[@fancycat]

Beautiful apartment. Full of color and character. How sad that people are so rude in the comment section. They didn't have a mother advise them if they don't anything nice to say than say NOTHING at all.

[@IamSILVESTRY]

Simply stunning.

[@jraaccounts]

OH MY GODDESS. this is officially my favorite home tour on youtube! i'm blown away!!! amazing.

[@brandonburrell8517]

Such inspiring and meticulous vision. And the baby in the fascinator is cute.

[@brendanbang6636]

So brave with her patterns and choices. Love and designs.

[@kyers9817]

I love this so much! Thank you Emory for sharing your amazing home and your amazing self xxxx

[@jennysroad]

Bless her heart. I imagine for every pot there's a kettle and someone will love it. For me, the video alone almost set my vertigo off. I wouldn't be able to view it in person.

[@melissaallen3918]

@Jenny's Road The British use a LOT of wall paper, patterns & color. I was impressed with this home for its individuality, creativity & the ability to transport every person "out of the cold cement city that exists outside." Cleaning any home takes time. If you view a lot of Fashion Designers' homes, they will use a "ton of color & patterns - minimalism is not the focus usually." As you relayed, "every pot there's a kettle & someone will love it."

[@ccburgess3058]

Stunning! I Love this and I love her and the thought it took to do what her and her husband did. Amazing!

[@annieburgos805]

Lavish and I love it! Stunning. 💕

[@carolweaver3269]

love this style. The woodwork and ceiling are out of this world! The wallpaper and all the little touches are so sweet. You have done an extremely fantastic artistic piece of work on your new home. A beautiful job. Mirrors certainly will make any room look so much larger and brings in alot of light Very talented people, very professional in your being so creative. Love the Fascinators too, Such a cute idea. Do not think we ever did see the kitchen?

[@TheVisionaryChristian]

A masterpiece WOW....

[@marianm.rodriguez1542]

Creativity and love. Very beautiful.

[@aanon5716]

love the creativeness.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

Great stuff! It’s refreshing to see others like you and it’s owners have such a full house of stuff. I would’ve never thought that at all but they would’ve been minimalist. Ha ha😊👏🏡

[@sofielinnea5869]

I love the green tiled room and the bathroom! Would’ve loved to see the kitchen too.

[@rosalomeli5873]

I LOVE IT IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

[@melissaallen3918]

Interesting, creative & a take away from the cement world outside.

[@indiasimone6645]

Namaste 🙏🏿, Absolutely beautiful home, Thank you for sharing 💙

[@donniemoder1466]

A lot of these 6 story prewar Bronx buildings have great proportions and bones. Ceilings usually over 8 feet high. And designed with nice windows in every room including the bathrooms. Only problem is floors may not be cement and sound travels to neighbors. Glad this couple got to be creative.

[@VeeLondon1449]

I love the apartment. Go big or go home.. Ortiz is home 🤍

[@k.w.5329]

Wow! 💜 to see very creative spaces.

[@TheKaurK]

It’s so weird. So many people feel so comfortable being absolutely vile in the comment section, but I am sure they would pretend to be polite civil people if you were to ever meet them in person. What truly is gaudy and tacky and quite honestly just plain old stupid- is the idea that you should act like a complete imbecile as soon as you are given any anonymity. Like grow up people, your comments are being read by the people who made the video, by the people you are directing all the stupidity towards. Have some sense of empathy and let your sharp but witless opinions just stay in a bolted closet somewhere.

[@mindmatters2922]

I love it. So imaginative and really gorgeous x

[@FSD23384]

Many of us have read stories of the brownstones and gentrification in Brooklyn. The Bronx, particularly the area of "The Grand Concourse" has beautiful buildings, many Art Deco that rival many Manhattan apartments. When they were built in the 20's and 30's they were considered upscale for the day.

[@alinagutierrez3019]

So amazing!

[@jillelaine6169]

The only disgusting thing about this is the commentary. Although I personally prefer minimalism, I love the decor because the owner clearly loves her surroundings, finds joy in it and appears to be so sincere and genuine in her love for her home and her family. She's just adorable and so is her home. Some of the comments are so trollish, vile and unnecessary.

[@EOrtiz-mr3tv]

You’re so kind.

[@donaldraife8099]

The presenter is in my view appears to be minimalist who may think everything should blend, match and be chic. This lady has depth of imagination and maximalist that others would find overwhelming.

[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

@@EOrtiz-mr3tv YAAAY! So glad you didn't sell. I was just about to post the following comment on the last video I saw to get your attention. [You posted this video's link on that Bronx apt renting for only $800+ for her see THIS video.] *Before knowing you rented it out, here's MY INTENDED COMMENT: I'd love to visit.... I'd like to use it as an AirBNB... *I wish she would just rent/lease it out instead of selling it. I think it would be FANTASTIC for photo shoots and films too. I doubt anyone who buys it would keep the decor as beautifully quirky as it is, which is sad.* 😢 I can stop crying now.😁 God Bless!💙

[@EOrtiz-mr3tv]

We decided not to sell. It’s being rented until next February. We are now living in a home outside of NY where everyone designs for the next buyer (resale designing 😞). We are don’t care about that, it’s more about how the space makes you feel.

[@RalphAnthonyCBasco]

Love in design...wow!

[@mairedaly4548]

Stunning, though quiet sad to think they've only lived in it for a few years, it will be sold and alas, redesigned!

[@stonedog23]

It needs to be redesigned, it’s quite offensive.

[@jasonfrost2487]

Really?

[@andrewbrendan1579]

I wonder how many viewers understood the comments about the "...husband's gradmother's phone". The ladies are referring to a "Twilight Zone" episode in which Billy Mumy portrays a little boy who talks to his dead grandmother via a toy telephone. I hope Emery's phone isn't THAT kind of phone!

[@KNYD]

The palace of Versailles and the Victorian style have nothing to do with each other. The palace of Versailles is in France and was build 1661-1715. The Victorian era refers to Queen Victoria's reign 1837-1901, the Victorian style refers to the style that existed in Great Britain during that time. Also the home is not decorated in the Victorian style or like the Versailles.

[@robinjones1955]

That was the visitor who made that mistake.. not the homeowner..

[@KNYD]

@@robinjones1955 Never claimed the owner said it. The visitor is the host of the channel and the channel is about interior decoration, so she should know those two styles have nothing to do with each other.

[@shonabeggs4640]

The green tiles are very victorian in look, as is some of the furniture. It wasn't an architectural history video.
