This lady is one of the few who sounds and looks authentic, genuine, no fuss about her things, no nonsense pretensions way of present herself and her home, refreshing! Love it!

[@carissafisher7514]

There are a lot of people like that but, finally Homeworthy is realizing this is an important quality for us viewers! ❤

[@amandawoods4051]

Same

[@meleshalyles5550]

Couldn't agree more. Unpretentious and confident

[@jaycarver4886]

Yes, tired of the ones where money is no object and everything is magazine perfect.

[@ourthriftylife]

this woman is a legend. love seeing real people in real homes over the overly wealthy looking houses. Artist homes are the best!

[@surrinder]

I have never left a comment after watching Homeworthy. However, l was so moved by the lack of pretension emanating from this woman and apartment that I had to mention that l think that it was the best Homeworthy that I have watched, and I loved the soul of her apartment. Great!

[@constancebaldwin8667]

Same here! This segment was fantastic! Homeworthy please! More like this.

[@patriciahooks4090]

Many of these women are so pretentious! The ," uh's are so incredibly annoying.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Lovely home! I vote for more unaffected homeowners like her on Homeworthy! 🏡💝

[@woodnewsnow]

I don't usually comment but this lady and her apartment are the definition of unique and creative. A "maker" in action in every part of her life. Lovely to see.

[@kerrybyers257]

Love this artist’s humble authenticity. A refreshing change from most HW tours. And not a single overused designer buzz word. I want to meet this gal.

[@pattykelly6621]

Did you notice she didn't have a single 'moment' in her home? So refreshing.

[@bitcoin_deb3428]

Haha I was thinking the same exact thing ​@@pattykelly6621! It's so corny when they say that

[@virginiawestcot3111]

I enjoy NYC apartment tours way more than the big estates because the apartment dwellers have to use every item and make multiple use of many items and keep the apartment looking welcoming and comfortable. Enjoyed this video.

[@yvonneb-t3d]

NYC apartment tours are my absolute favorite.

[@DebrasBeautifulMusic]

Lovin the apartment tours and enjoy smaller homes in other towns, too. Like Margo Roth's regular home in Winston-Salem, NC. Being on Homeworthy YT is such an honor for anyone.

[@ohydie]

Love her way of "Hiding things in plain sight.". Genius.

[@azurea0587]

Kiera's individuality and utter lack of interest in trends or impressing viewers with expensive furnishings are an inspiration. Spaces like hers--unpredictable, personal, meaningful--are my favorites on Homeworthy.

[@fishercourt]

What I absolutely love about this lady is her storytelling through her objects in her home. As a former props designer and manager, I really appreciate her creativity and dedication to creating objects that are meant for function and for production purposes. This lady really warms my heart by reminding me of my passion for designing and creating props. The memories from wandering through many antique shops, consignment type stores, and shopping for unique items for professional theatrical plays. I actually did this prior to having the luxury to order online items. So, every single item that I created I would spend so much time on the tiny details that work with stage lighting and following the details of the director’s insight for the accurate portrayal of items that would be seen from a variety of perspectives. A Black box theatre vs a large professional theatre with a variety of different audience perspectives. Anyway, sorry for rambling, this lady just inspired me to look back at the items I still have in my attic collection. Love this lady and her creativity. ❤

[@maaamiii6918]

This woman and her home were a breath of fresh air! Both so genuine and unaffected, yet unique and special. Thank you for sharing your calm space of respite from the city. Just lovely!

[@mariaecheverria8747]

She is so cool! Love her philosophy to decorating, “if I can’t afford, I make it! “ Her place totally reflects her! Just love how much she treasures her personal objects, from her mother’s art work to found objects in the park! 💚

[@Eloiseat6]

I LOVE this place! It’s just gorgeous and everything has personal meaning. Also, I’m so glad she used the word “tableau” for her small spatial arrangements. I hear people on KZbin calling them “vignettes” or “moments,” which relate to time, not space, which irks me. As a prop stylist, she knows the right terms. Her home makes me want to get back to my own arts and crafts.

[@LukeLovesDesign]

I love people like this cool lady! Truly creative, super down to earth, not trying to show off, just genuinely eager to share her space and her wonderful creativity with us all. This is why I love Homeworthy!

[@egnacruz2168]

I live in Brazil and started watching the channel a little over a month ago because there is no more news on Pinterest and I wanted to find new ideas to renovate my apartment. In that 1 month I saw houses full of rooms to the point of not even showing everything 😂, a dining room, a conversation room, a coffee room, a room to be alone, etc. people worried about works of art and attached to floors, colors and kitchens that Never even used, too many dishes. I think Kiara's house is synonymous with a woman who seeks an alternative because she cannot have the resources to get what you want and She didn't limit herself, she used her creativity to produce the vase, the bowl, etc. and that makes her happy, she reuses materials she finds in the trash and that doesn't make her feel any less happy, she is proud of her DIYs. Very creative. Great life lesson, it would be great to see more alternative houses like Kiara's or famous artists on the channel.😍🇧🇷

[@Figgyplum]

What a refreshing video! She is real and I can relate to her style. No trends here! No exclusive style. Her home reflects HER! More videos like this please!! Also, the Garden Designer's home! Colors, thrift finds and greenery!!

[@d.brooks3182]

First comment for this channel... just can't express how much I love this beautiful home, and the creative, joyful homeowner. WOW!!! Best episode ever; will inspire me to be as free and creative as possible in my own home. It was all about personal expression and not $. Thank you!

[@anttoronto3202]

NYC apt tours are always the best.

[@auroratorres7873]

You bet they are! I do not reside in New York City anymore, but I always visit any sites that feature designs by New Yorkers, especially if they are do it yourself decorators like Kiera. Her house tour was magnificent

[@jenh9361]

This lovely lady has created the epitome of simplicity, with a menagerie of whimsey and easy pops of color... That's both easy on the eye and creatively orchestrated!!! Eclectic and curated decors always have a warm and welcoming ambiance about them 😊

[@maureenclothier9468]

I loved all the artwork she had from her Mom. I think she was really talented.

[@user-ke1md3gd6g]

Thank you for inviting us. You are a wonderful hostess & you have created a lovely home.

[@amandawoods4051]

Thank you for showing us your home. One of the very few Homeworthy videos that I watched all the way through. This lady is actually interesting, authentic and unrehearsed in what she shared. Thanks again

[@user-rl7dk2jo1d]

I love how she uses things other people are throwing in the trash. So inventive.

[@fionasantos6125]

I agree with other post i am loving the NYC apartments soooooooo much,so cosy...Here in Europe we have small house and i love that more

[@pattykelly6621]

OMG...I love this woman. What a charming home. Can I say, I LOVE vintage typing tables. They are marvelous little things. I buy them whenever I find them. They all get spray painted with some punchy color, gloss preferred. And they are primarily plant stands. I use them inside and out. Sadly they are getting harder to find. I've sold a few and given some away and I had to downsize a while back so I only have 2 left. But I am always on the hunt. AND, I too make a lot of paper mache. It is often thought of as a child's craft but really it is so versatile. You can make anything look amazing when it's covered with paper mache and a bit of paint. Homeworthy, I would love to see more of this kind of home. Not designer, lived in, made with love, comfortable and adapted to the needs of the owner. I am definitely starting a trash alphabet!

[@shonabeggs4640]

Why are you on the hunt for more tables when you've given them away?

[@lisahinkofer2085]

I love your home. It’s full of colors and textures. Very happy home. Love the way the place feels. Friendly and warm

[@ruthbueneman541]

Well she is true to herself which is so important!

[@alexandrabarrenbrugge4585]

Like the others, i have to say her style is wonderful, unique, just authentic. There are so many interiours you see, that look like a picture in a catalouge. A collection of style, stylish items presented. But this appartment is a reflection of Life, a place where a person lives. And that ist PURE STYLE 😃👍 Greetings from Germany alex 🤗

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

1:09 love the way she said my artwork is from love ones. That’s the best kind of artwork not all from Paris Africa expensive auctions or a famous artist like what is some of these homeworthy tours people like to show off she’s adorable and I love her name🤣🔥🤣

[@geetagssw3343]

I enjoy watching homes like this. An aunthetic reflection of the home owner. A home should be your comfort and joy, whatever that means for you❤

[@oliveeyes4281]

So grounded and felt relatable. What a cool and humble lady ❤

[@vjhreeves]

Her mother is a fantastic artist--I love her style and color palettes.

[@charliecat5686]

We need more of this Homeworthy!

[@maritzastewart6557]

Charming, authentic, talented, inspirational...I can go on and on. She is a breath of fresh air.

[@EveD123]

I just love this lady already being that the video just started

[@biasanto]

If you notice there is not one item trendy on her house. Quite magnificent because it’s really hard to not be influenced. She has a very unique home. Nothing is the same and she doesn’t really follow designer look. You can find a lot of inspiration in here all the wall art are beautiful. Her style is a bit messy for my taste but as she says it’s who she is

[@misswarmsoul09]

Well shoot I need to learn how to paper mache!

[@pattykelly6621]

Oh yes you do! It's a great way to stop plastic fro going to land fills.

[@susannagiesey9657]

I really enjoy her artistic way of incorporating quirky found and handmade objects with beautiful personal artwork, textiles, and patterns

[@idahernandez9362]

This was different, so genuine. It truly speaks about the owner who lives there.

[@marycollins1631]

My favorate pieces in your New York Brownston are the paper mashia vase and the retro lamp in your bedroom. That is amazing you have been there so long. Thanks for sharing your Abode.

[@cornucopialife902]

Favorite tour and person by far! Lovely.

[@DebrasBeautifulMusic]

She is so precious. Her home is so unique. Thank you so much for doing a video of her home. Just love the way she displays everything. Alot of people would not display their loved one's works of art. Her mother's artwork is beautiful, along with the handcrafted things she made.

[@AlmondJoie]

My favorite HW tour of all!❤

[@brendapebo2473]

I learned a fab new word:Tableau!

[@marinayanna1921]

Wow! This is so refreshingly different to most homes and homeowners: so much soul, personality and talent!!! Lovely❤❤

[@marycahill7712]

Your mom is an amazing artist!!!! You are so lucky to have them as keepsakes.

[@wpeters4361]

Would love to have seen the kitchen...there was just a peek with blue paint. I love seeing what people have done with old NYC kitchens.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Me too! Sometimes I fast forward to the kitchen.

[@constancebaldwin8667]

I even yelled it out loud after seeing that pop of color in the distance…”the kitchen”!

[@bitcoin_deb3428]

Fantastic. I can see why that landlord wanted you! You seem so down to earth, grounded...well...normal! Thanks for sharing! You and your mom are super talented! 🥰

[@olgamilla7578]

REALLY INSPIRING!!!!

[@tamjg]

Love the creativity, and not a "foy-yay" in sight! (or hearing)

[@helendavenport7298]

😂😂😂

[@montresian]

Beautiful and authentic

[@laurae2489]

I love how she makes little things look so beautiful

[@angelopadilla1292]

What a lovely,genuine soul! Love the apartment ❤😊

[@lynneann9166]

Absolutely incredible.

[@Vic-pn9yf]

I loved watching this so much, not just touring through the space, but the utterly touching story telling attached to the many objects and her mothers art, so unpretentious and homely

[@auroratorres7873]

I love Kiera's presentation; the way she describes every item she showcases in such great and loving detail. She is so simple, which is a charecteristic I really admire. What I love most of all is that she finds potential beauty in just about everything she encounters such as mouthwash bottles, a pretzel tub, etc. The covering of bottles and other items in paper maiche so that they can "hide" everyday items is very creative. I especially love the covering with safety pins that she put on the piece she brought home! The safety pins is what makes that particular cabinet unique and special! No need to sew it at all! I also like the way she has displayed many of her mother's artwork on her walls. The covering she made for her television looks like an art piece! Sequins on paper -- amazing. This is a lady with a lot of vision and talent. I loved this tour!

[@AM-wn1dn]

Good evening from Australia- this was one of the most beautiful tours, I am getting up tomorrow to create something

[@midoann]

Isn’t she unique by being her and introducing us to her world she loves, the more the video continues she gets more and more interesting and I get more curious to watch all her pieces of art. She has a magic wand and turns beautiful or cute or unique simple but not nice to our eyes items. 🎉 her mother is an amazing artists 🎉🎉

[@courtneybondesen1328]

Love this space so much 💕 Personal, collected, creative…magical ✨

[@user-xn4sw5gf7g]

Wow, fun to watch! I truly need to take some art classes!

[@susansechrist4112]

What a delight to enter into this creative lady’s home

[@meganschaeffer]

Also a first time commenter on Homeworthy! Totally inspired by the quirky, creative, laid back approach to a home and loved belongings. If I was a guest of Kiera's, I'd want to make stuff, talk about whatever, and would really be able relax. Dreamy!

[@carissafisher7514]

I remember typing tables! It was a blast from seeing one. I want to how she got the bookcase up the stairs, and what's in the other box besides the baking soda?

[@carolynsteele5404]

I love the TV covers. I love the way her mine works.

[@user-rd5hp7xf1c]

I love Homeworthy but this has to be one of my favorite episodes. First it's NY so what's not to love. Second it's unpretentious, just an excellent example of a collected eye. I could live here. Thank you Kiera for sharing.

[@craigadams4143]

Such a creative person! I think she is correct about homes needing a sense of whimsy to help personalize them. I'm just so bored when i walk into a living space and everything is perfect, staged and pretentious. Those rooms have no personality. They look like hotel lobbies. I like when people have things in their homes that make me feel warm inside, or , perhaps, make me smile or chuckle. I know I've got to learn a lot more about paper machete from watching this video. I'm intrigued!🕵️. My suggestion is not to do anything with the cabintry that holds catch alls on top. It is perfect just the way it is🎉

[@simoncrawley7430]

Thank God, an intelligent person not trying to recreate Chatsworth with curated clutter and a dog with a silly name. Authenticity incarnate, so refreshing...

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I really enjoyed this tour more than I thought I would. She's eclectic, a bit quirky, artistic, and imaginative, some of my favorite combos. It's so great to have art from relatives as well as her own art. Her paper måché is whimsical and fun, and her mothers art is fabulous, and her step-father's ceramics sublime, and her father's secret caché pot nostalgic. (pun intended) lol I thought her mother's painting of her aunt was genius in the sense that half of it was grounded and the other half of it incorporeal. It masterfully conveys our temporal earthly existence giving us a glimpse into the present, and our future, and a window into our past.

[@melkorkakjarval1395]

Absolutely adored this home tour, was just a delight to see Kiera Coffee's describe all the different pieces in her space. So many beautiful works - and such a lovely interview to watch!

[@GwenMotoGirl]

As a landlord, sometimes, I simply know that the potential tenant before me is the one, and I lower the rent. I’ve had some wonderful tenants. She is beautiful and her space is uniquely hers. I love it.

[@Redpill1962]

Great tour ! Let’s have more of these much more individual homes ! Way more interesting than the chopped cushion brigade 😅 The pastel paintings are wonderful 🎉

[@medhakarandikar]

Last year I saw an exhibition of Egyptian I think.. pottery with those amazing animal motifs and fell in love with it. All I did was just draw them on paper. You have gone above and beyond, and created a jug like one of those (out of unbelievable materials creatively arranged!) AND incorporated as many of those graceful animals as possible! LOVE it!

[@DavidDel88]

Those pastels are incredible. Love the individual flair throughout

[@sarahb3606]

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Kiera's crafted objects and tableaux. The table is so beautiful and craft supplies in plain sight is clever. I will be borrowing some ideas for sure. This was a very refreshing change, more artists and artisans please!

[@mysweetestdays]

Glorious and inspiring woman

[@ralugator]

Very charming hostess and home. Many good ideas, too. My hand lotion is always out and not so nice looking, so I'll think of an attractive vessel to transfer it to.

[@kristinaprice4028]

one of my favorites so far and I have watched a lot of Homeworthy tours. so much personality showing through. very inspiring!

[@MildaMade]

I can really relate to multifunctional decor/storage - it's something so unique to NYC/big city livin!😆. Kiera's home and magical doo~ dads and artwork are really incredible✨✨ @homeworthy : MORE content like this please!

[@TLouisa]

My favorite Homeworthy

[@deawallace3584]

Love typing tables! Also, old metal file cabinets & desks.they never wear out & , can be changed, decoupaged, painted, etc.

[@daniellekorneliussen4244]

This. Was. Wonderful ‼️ As with some of my all time favorite films, I will be watching this particular Homeworthy episode many times over so as not to miss any accidentally glossed over details.❤️

[@lisanester3338]

Loved this unique, eclectic handmade home.

[@adamnancik3102]

Oh boy! I love this wonderful woman.

[@thomashirschy7649]

Love this home!!! It's eclectic and theres something on every wall and corner for the eye to discover.

[@VintagebyMitzi]

What a lovely woman, she has my dream job. Very talented and down to earth, love the home!

[@jills.2225]

Okay, can I just say how much I liked seeing her lettuce in a cup/vase like flowers…charming!

[@spanishjohn420]

Her Mum is a great artist and I would love a couple of her pieces

[@pablogott100]

What a unique soul!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@DieMademoiselleAnne]

Best home tour on this channel, keep bringing more real, creative homes like this one! I have one paper mache bowl that I adore but struggle to keep it clean, it this lady is reading the comments, I hope she can give me some tips ;)

[@jaycarver4886]

I love that medicine cabinet. So cool that she's displaying it...bet most people would have thrown it away.

[@MzShonuff123]

She’s so quirky. I love her and wanna be her friend ❤

[@LSDonthegrand]

What a wonderful home lived in by a most down to earth creative. so enjoyable

[@andrewdekanter3889]

lovely home! looking forward to the Alexander Gerard book!

[@Maria-fd7re]

So creative!

[@xxjones]

I really loved this home tour the home owner!

[@ASC470]

Lovely creative lady. 🏵

[@CheerUp2]

This is actually so inspiring! I have recently been struggling with my bathroom vanity area, there are some things that I can fit in drawers but I dont want them sitting out because they are ugly. But making something that they can fit in is so fun!!!!

[@DilekArsoyOzkaptan]

I'm tired of vanity and perfection.Of course they are the colors of life too. like a movie watched from a distance.But it's meaningless when it's always the same.this home different, beautiful and meaningful.

[@MimiYouyu]

Creative gentle apartment , and lovely Lady.

[@beataeinarsen4446]

Jeg elsker hennes sans for kunst . Tusen takk for komme til «vannlig» person med meget kreavitiet🤓

[@andreaball8114]

Love her style! Great art! Can see why she's a prop stylist. Alright. A papier mache cake is what's missing from my life
