HOUSE TOUR | A Colorful Brooklyn Townhouse with Jaw-Dropping Interiors

[@missmayflower]

Finally! I’m so sick at looking at stark white and grey rooms.

[@lanusik1000]

I know , ~ colors ! So vibrant so alive !

[@texasgeeg5972]

Exactly! This place is perfection. Well done Kelsey!

[@shaunawerner5986]

Me too!! Even the art and rugs seems to be muted in many places. Give me colour and personality!!

[@dianebaker5243]

Agree 👍😁

[@MissKittyKatify]

🤣🤣🤣 I totally agree… although my living room is dark grey but I have pink , red etc pieces of furniture in it , mirrors, paintings etc. I have a lemur/ hummingbird and exotic flowers wallpaper in my bathroom and a massive colourful chandelier in my kitchen…( I remember the guy who put the wallpaper up in the bathroom and the electrician who put the lighting up, literally calling me mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣). It’s what you do with a room really! ❤️‍🔥

[@ladykokob9149]

I am so glad she left the wood as it is in its natural colour - very chic ! A beautifully decorated home.

[@rmonson5002]

I am so glad she and her husband are preserving the historical integrity of that amazing home. It is so refreshing to see. It hurts my heart when people gut historic properties and make them look like generic white box condos. Would love to have seen more of the home especially the kitchen and bathrooms. I love her exuberant use of color. She does it well. And the pup is adorable! Will be rewatching this often if only to see that amazing ceiling again! Thanks for posting this amazing home! ♥️

[@rarara6770]

Just so amazingly beautiful...

[@susanfudge1737]

The reason I hate those HGTV shows.

[@paulacarr122]

I've been saying this for years! Why buy an historic home and make it look generic? Why???

[@donnaholland1061]

Are you just renting? Or did you buy this amazing townhome. It would be a shame to have to move someday!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Oh you'd freak out if property hunting in the UK: you'll go to a glorious old manor with romantic gardens, the works, yet the property has somehow avoided Grade Listing somewhere in it's tragic history. You won't know this and will open the door and want to cry to see the rampant, unchecked molestation of all architectural details. Like you said, 'a generic white box'. Those vulgar, disgusting downlights all lined up and down the ceiling in two rows, pricked into the ceilings like inverted pig's teats. I turn and walk right back out. I cannot tell you how much it angers me and hurts my heart to behold this sort of thing. There's no way I'd pay top whack for a house that has been disembowelled in this way. Why have these people bought a period property only to gut it and turn it into an ugly modern blank slate?! What's wrong with people that they wouldn't just build something new with an architectural firm and leave the historic properties for the people who adore and value them deeply?! Thing is, I'd end up paying double the purchase price of the property just to have craftsmen and builders redesign, remake and finally reinstall all the architectural details. And it's not just the financial aspect of such an undertaking, it's the precious time all that takes. We don't live forever and who the hell has ten years to wait before they can have their home brought back to it's former glory? I don't want to move in to do the cosmetic work when I'm a frail old lady (god willing I get to that category rather than the unspeakable alternative). Also, it will all be artificial, like set design. The interior will not have the patina, the history, the 'atmosphere' and deeply moving authenticity of all original features. Some people value it. The home in this video was lovely, happy to see it bought by the 'right' person. Once you demolish and rip things out, it's over.

You can tell she really loves her home, and probably wears that sweater a lot

That sweater doesn't suit her. The proportions make her too top heavy.

[@th3azscorpio]

Absolutely stunning! Lovely use of color, patterns, tapestry, and use of accent pieces! I love that her decorating style still stays true to the original architectural design. Very cozy, and elegant!

[@paolabueso]

Beautiful! She was very respectful of the original features and still managed to incorporate her personality into every inch of the home in such a fun way, it looks gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this!

[@kobrien7945]

Not only did I enjoy the home tour, but I loved her jumper and then the shoes she had on.

[@ladymeropi]

This home is to die for.... The space, all that space in NYC!!! Wow. The interior is beautiful, perfect, and personal. Loved every inch. I too would have liked to see more of the house, I just couldn't get enough. Thanks for sharing. One can only dream....

Agree! I've been watching Brownstone homes since the quarantine started last year and this home by far is the best one for me. 😍😍😍 The interior is a labor of love. 😘

[@barbarawillis5187]

I am always amazed how the New York brownstone houses have the most unique and beautiful features, inside and out.

[@rneustel388]

Oh, my goodness...that tour wasn’t nearly long enough! I wanted to see everything and hear the stories about everything. This is the most amazing home I’ve seen in a very long time. Color, antiques, art, objet d’art, and a darling pooch!!

[@tawan4003]

THIS IS A HOUSE! Love the deco, modern yet cosy. Loved the green and white stripped room.

[@cameliap1146]

Modern ? What is modern in this house ? For me , those strips are an agression for the eyes. But good for her and all the people who likes them.

[@tinlidtoo6615]

I love that she loves what she did with her home. Good for you to ignore the current "trends" and do what you wanted. It's the complete opposite of what I would do, and that's what makes this world so endlessly wonderful

[@11Joanie]

I only wish I could have seen more of the home because I absolutely love everything! I'm so curious to see the kitchen and bathrooms.

[@marygreen3529]

I want to see the whole house! What a delightful home. And the dining room with the built in cupboards!!! So beautiful!

[@hannahretel1073]

Confidence, boldness, style, sense of humour, unafraid to connect with colour, pattern, texture. Also very chic. I love it!

You nalied some of it but not all of it. In time you will probarly figure that out. In love with the light in the sunroom that was truely the icing on the cake in that fabulous room.

Love it. And chartreuse is my favorite colour

[@blahdeblaaah9445]

My two favorite things: (1) the one floating picture hung on top of the wall detailing, and (2) the mysterious natural light coming from where the wall meets the ceiling above the fire place in the small striped room. Every choice made in this house is flawless!

I love your bold use of color throughout your home. When I become a homeowner again, my house will explode with color and textured fabrics. I made colorful wall art that hangs in my apartment, but your walls are colorful without being extreme. The glass on your pocket doors and the French doors, is amazing. I feel like there was more to see...at least I wanted there to be more. You are genuine and down to Earth. I feel like I could put my feet up on your coffee table and enjoy a big cup of tea with crumbly cookies. Your place is beautiful!
