This man has more “cool” in his pinky finger than I do in my entire body or entire life! He’s so down to earth and unpretentious. His place is a vibe!

[@skqq3250]

Yes the blue reminds me of the garden of Marjorelle in Morocco. YSL’s garden/museum.

[@annjohnson8437]

My thoughts exactly!

[@quepasa1254]

I like his arrows, Creative peeps are cool.

[@swarren400]

He's also a Vibe!!🙂

[@Vibesbypeach]

Right LOL

[@starveartist]

Thanks for featuring more creative people of color!!

[@memberofthetribe1]

It matters doesn't it? I would not know about Raymond Boozer if it wasn't for this video. Now I have Apartment 48 on my radar.

Ugh

I agree💯

[@nlbhaduri]

This designer is so humble! I would literally trust him blindly to decorate my home. I would also hang out with him because he seems pretty cool.

[@Kiwiwanderer]

I love this comment. I love homeworthy followers and commenters.

[@helena8517]

I totally agree! I like him a lot. Would not mind to hang out with him either🙂

[@lukethomas658]

I enjoy people who aren't afraid of lots of stuff but know how to control the negative space so it doesn't feel overwhelming or messy. Love all the blues and greens.

[@rmonson5002]

Exactly. He does maximalist extremely well. I'm taking notes and inspiration. Especially that front door. I keep all those kinds of things as well, but would like a controlled way to display them like he has.

[@lisafield4154]

I want this man to be my neighbor so we can spontaneously have drinks on any given evening of the week. He is so chill, his voice is so calming and damn he is a great designer. Wonderful episode.

[@quit2quilt525]

I’m not surprised he wanted to major into psychology because his passion for interior design can be deeply woven into how our personalities drive the direction of how we live, things we choose to live with and what makes us who we are. Even color can be related to our psyche. I love his loft, his style, his history and his calm demeanor. Thx for sharing!!

[@mizzmolly7649]

Yes! Definitely!

[@chemokiki]

Well said! 👍

[@dynahtaylor7499]

I agree! I used to want to be a psychologist and interior designer both while in high school….the second he said that I said “that makes sense”

[@kendrickdcarter871]

I was thinking similarly! It does make so much sense.

[@tiadeese]

He is a psychologist of interior spaces. I can see how his love of psychology plays into his design abilities. He's literally using psychology to swoon & fascinate us. Lol...I'm sold. 😂

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

"I've never met a coloured pencil I didn't like", lol. Interesting how he knew artist before they took off. I love that he loves everything he has and it means so much to him. I'm always so impressed with the ability to put so many things of so much colour together and it looks so gooood!

[@maggiebkny]

I still have that Elle Decor issue with Rayman Boozer's apartment on the cover! May 2006, I'm looking at it right now! No other interior in a magazine has had so much influence on me, even looking at it now. I'm so excited to see him on Homeworthy in a new place, but that old one will always live in my heart.

[@rmonson5002]

Wow. That's so cool. I don't think I have issues back that far. Mine go back at least a decade, but not sure I have that one. Imma look it up now and maybe I can find it on Ebay. That would be weird considering I have a ridiculous amount of magazines already. But I've done weirder. Just sayin'...

[@MiniM69]

I remember that too! I think I have it somewhere in storage.

[@AnitasDreams]

I love that everything in your apartment has a memory associated with it. That's what HOME should be.

[@heidibee501]

Being an eclectic maximalist myself l love this space. If l had to narrow it to two words l would call it "tastefully abundant".

[@jacklynnmjackson2383]

Oooops. Can I use that.

[@LivingSoftly]

I love that! Immediately uploaded into my vocab.

[@rosemaryhowes8047]

Love this loft apartment, it's warm and interesting. I could live there very happily. ❤️

I love his colorful free random spirit. His home represent confidence, kindness, integrity, talented, smart, strength, courage and resilient ❤️

[@patriciasalem3606]

He had me at the start with his love of colored pencils. *Looks around home office at pots and pots of colored pencils, stacks of coffee table books, and mounds of pretty boxes...* I really need more people like Rayman in my life. His place totally resonated with me, and his vibe was so calming. This was one of my favorite tours - thanks!

[@Kim-qt7yn]

So glad you did not become a psychiatrist-you are design. Your entry/kitchen wall covering is sublime. I paused mid video to purchase arrows online for a vase at my entryway and I will always remember where I discovered the idea! Unique color, pattern, texture, and provenance-it's all there. Your are a sweet soul Rayman, thank you for sharing some of your favorite things.

[@chemokiki]

This was the (IMO) best Homeworthy ever! I feel like Rayman Boozer and I were separated at birth. I (sadly) did not know of him but I absolutely can relate to everything being his favorite! The "Blue Eyes" paint color I have been looking for all my life, the décor books, etc.. Everything you have should be your favorite or why have it? People are always trying to get me to downsize but I am emotionally attached to my treasures and they rekindle memories and good times. It's interesting that the very people that tell me I have too much are at the same time fascinated while in my apartment just as I was watching this video. I must have stopped it 20 times to look at something closer or to google some artist. I call my look layering which has become a cliché but it's what it is for me. A layering of my lifetime. Thank you Mr Boozer for sharing your "favorite" things with me! ❤❤❤

[@copperpenny0209]

Raymond is very likable, and I love how he pointed out all his favorite and favorite favorite things, which there were many. I also enjoyed seeing how he incorporated his work tools into his design. It's a beautiful space as well as functional.

[@renakelley6654]

This is the best channel ever! So awesome to see all the homes with life, not like most other channels that show what look like neutral staged showrooms. Appreciate all the videos!

[@mbclifestylesdiary7742]

This was my favorite Homeworthy episode

[@CB-jz2dn]

There's a sense of love & compassion that our Heavenly Father has for this human being. I can't describe it, but it's as if God's loving Heart is reaching out to this creative person to let him know he is loved of the Father God. May peace be your portion as you exist through life. Blessings.

Feeling sad almost hopeless as a newer widow , thinking things will never happen for me again. Then I watched this with Raymond a man who believes in manifesting what you want. So uplifting because we can have so many things that are our favorite things within our own reach. Thank you Raymond for giving hope through what you do.

I don't know you. But I feel you deeply. Watching your video I can feel your energy. It's like a Faucet left on. I just wanna run over. Because I enjoy watching this video. I'm so impressed by how humble you are. You remind me of a rose after the storm's. You remain still standing stronger than before. Your petals represent beautiful, talented, strength, courage and so much more. My brotha keep reaching your greater is near ❤️

[@johnmyers7008]

I so enjoyed this man taking us through his home! Very interesting and entertaining.

[@jennaright5414]

What a lovely loft and a lovely gentleman too. I really enjoyed his company and his home is beautiful. The drapes in his bedroom are gorgeous. I also appreciate that he has nice things but he also values his money and appreciates a sale. Yes, even after he revealed he owns two Birken bags. I guess you can say they're an investment.

[@maevensmagickallife8675]

What a glorious expression of self! This was such a joy to drink in. What great inspiration I found in this authentic style. May be my very favorite tour yet!

“I’m thrifty. And sometimes I’m extravagant.” Totally ✨✨

[@candacen7779]

First of all, I love that he's from Indiana and living on the East Coast. It's nice to know another Hoosier made it out. 😉Second, what a great home! Although I'm not a maximalist, I love real bohemian decor and culture. I say "real" because a lot of bohemian spaces are the result of people trying to capture an aesthetic. But with Raymond, his space truly seems to capture his life, what he loves, and who he's met along the way. That to me is what real bohemians do. His rather monotone way of speaking completely betrays how colorful his lifestyle is. And his approach to his home is a breath of fresh air in a time where everyone seems to decorate to largely to impress others, instead of simply expressing themselves. I especially love that blue on the wall unit in the living area. It's beautiful! And of course, I spotted that Kelly bag the minute they walked into the closet. 😍

[@bereatha1]

My condo is Decorated with Boho Decor and I never apologize for my eclectic syle and colors. I love your Loft!

Love that board on the entryway door❤ I have a metal quarter of a birdcage but it’s pretty big and it’s flat and I do the same thing I love his apartment. He’s not afraid to put a lot of items he loves surrounding him.. perfect home for the perfect designer❤

[@raymondchilds7719]

Used to shop his store when it was in a basement-incredible!! I always wondered what his apartment was like because the store was like an apartment. Now I see similarities!!

[@fishercourt]

Oh yeah? That’s awesome you were able to check out his store. I imagine he is such an amazing guy to chat with, as he just seems so humble and a caring attitude. He seems incredibly intelligent and talented in a calm, chic way. I would love to go see his store one day. Also, he seems like he would be that guy who would be fun at a cocktail mixer or party or a themed costume party. Ciao & peace-out!

[@raymondchilds7719]

[@Kookka_]

Incredibly gorgeous loft. I love the couch in the lounge, it looks so comfy and the little tables. Actually, like Rayman says everything is my favorite. The design and colors and art. The "old blue eyes" paint really pops and that whole piece adds so much character. Every "room" is interesting and flows wonderfully space to space. Totally infatuated with this amazing home and talented host.

[@lahaza6515]

Love the office room and how refreshingly unpretentious and un-trendy he is. So often on NYC tours everyone is so chirpy & faux hip; "this is my" blah blah blah... He has a Joy Division poster & I actually believe he listened to them vs most of these annoying people who show their spaces & have what they think makes them cool. So great when he said "okay, now let's go to the living room" and literally turns around 😂 Love his sense of humor. Had so much fun watching this.

[@MTMF.london]

That Joy Division poster sold me.
