House Tours: This $2600 Brooklyn Rental is Bold on a Budget

[@abhilashasinha]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!! Thank you @ApartmentTherapy for featuring our home! Happy to answer any questions about anything in the video!

[@apartmenttherapy]

Thank Joe and you for sharing your space. You’ve made us fall in love with rugs again 😍

[@sarahp1383]

As you obviously exult in our Indian heritage, may I suggest that when you come next to India, please visit Jaipur, and take a look at their blue pottery...their wall plates, door knobs table lamp bases , tiles, fruit bowls and much more.... have a vibrance all their own .Truly our Indian handicrafts can hold their own with the best which the rest of the world has to offer. Our craftsmen and women are not getting the support and honour they deserve. 🇮🇳

Your home is gorgeous!!

[@michelleholmes5251]

I grew up in Durban, South Africa in the 1970’s. This reminds me of that time. I loved it and it has been my own design inspiration for many years…this tour made me feel very nostalgic. I just love what you’ve both done … and please - let us know where we find a dress like that?! We’re all dying to know ☺️

[@user-wh5ir4fo4r]

"Why am I, like, promoting the concept of rugs?" I laughed so hard. You're a delight. What makes this apartment so great is in part that it's "Grandmacore" but also your personalities.

[@lisad8388]

This home is such a breath of fresh air! The sterile, minimal spaces that are so popular now lack creativity, imagination. This makes me happy!

[@Alex-dz2et]

Only popular among fast decor producers and retailers, then influencers and their followers😬

[@annjohnson8437]

I appreciate the color and warmth of this home! ❤

[@lolah3838]

Agreed. I require a warmth to my home. I can't stand the spaces - the white/grey/beige boxes -that look like modern hotel suites. Do people really want their homes to feel like hotels?

[@Alex-dz2et]

@@lolah3838 apparently so - it’s a thing 😳

[@abhilashasinha]

Thank you!!!!

[@mchapman1928]

I grew up in Brooklyn, in the ‘40’s to the ‘60’s. These long, narrow tenement apartments were called “railroad” rooms. One room after another front to rear….no doors “except the bathroom”. Our rent in the late forties early fifties…..dad paid $35 month. We were just off the East River….near Buttermilk Channel…..WATER VIEW lol. 12 minutes to lower Manhattan. It’s good to see people fixing up these beautiful old apartments, and caring for them. 💕

[@Eloiseat6]

I’m sure people would call my place “cool grandma” too. I think we used to call it eclectic! Anyway, I would feel right at home in your place-it’s cozy, bright, and filled with interesting things.

[@annjohnson8437]

Now this is an apartment I could curl up in! Beautiful home with so much personality and warmth, just like the sweet couple that lives in it. ❤

[@jenpink4298]

They have created such a beautiful home! The rugs are amazing!

[@maddiek1980]

Great taste. But also two adorable people

[@abhilashasinha]

Thank you

[@debrap947]

So much life and warm energy in the space. With muted colours, warm tones, and that true welcome-in feel, I love their mid-century, Granny chic take on "decorating". What a beautiful and cool couple. Thanks for letting us peek around your home. 🤗

[@abhilashasinha]

thank you so much!

[@MaryKoh-ge4bz]

Wow, you did a wonderful job placing everything in the right place. It doesn't look cluttered. You definitely have the eye for design. Beautiful!!

[@sadie513]

Beautiful home! Will always appreciate homes with a lot of colour and a mixture of prints and styles. They did a wonderful job in putting it all together. Thanks for sharing.

[@gladysperez8156]

I love the way they have decorated their two bedrooms Brooklyn apartment. I can tell that everything they have in their abode is intentionally and purposely well-organized for their own delights. This apartment looks I would say is a natural and unpretentious but private one. Thank you for letting me and the world to enjoy it!

[@MoonbeamStarlaSilver]

This is one of those "I wish I could decorate like that" homes. How beautiful!!

[@MallikaKhullar]

Whoa, it's a small world. I've been binge watching Apartment Therapy videos and never expected to find Abhilasha here. Been following her music (she's also made a lot of music with friends of mine from India) for a while - her voice is as calming and rich as is the apartment.

[@marthamiriam8983]

It’s a beautiful cozy home the way they display the best of both worlds. I love the bedspread. Nice.

[@xi-8840]

Dig it. It’s a real home. I feel history and family and friends all mixed there💛. The book was the highlight. What an amazing gift that your love and adoration, earned.

[@prissilou]

Love this apartment, and the way she has furnished it! That mantlepiece was the find of the century. It's comfortable, cozy, colorful, and not cluttered. Brava!

[@vintagegal541]

I agree with Abhilasha's philosophy. There are so many beautiful things, why always buy new. About 85 to 90% of my 475 sq ft vintage apartment in Tacoma is thrifted, second hand or bought for a bargain price. You have a beautiful home. Good for Joe, receiving Mel's book with his autograph. I love Mel too and I adorned his late wife Anne Bancroft. Thrift on and proud!

[@northern179]

Yes I love the rugs too and now I think I’ll add one under my Coffee table finally 👍🏾

[@lorimecikalski3079]

I love everything about this apartment. I could walk right in and live there and be so happy and content in my surroundings.

[@lysan1445]

What a warm and friendly place! I just love it.

[@rbancal4768]

@6:24 he was waiting and so eager to talk that he was speaking in fast forward... Its sooooooooo adorable. Love you

[@hesherette]

that rug really does tie the room together! big lebowski taught me the importance of a good rug. this space is so gorgeous + creative. they seem fun, i'd love to go thrifting w Abhilasha! thank you for the inspo. i've been curating a cozy, colorful, planty, mid century space for a year or so + this gives me so much creative motivation ❤

[@Jawdra57]

During the introduction video the moment I saw the bedspread, I knew it was Jaipuri razai . Home decor can't be without having something from Rajasthan . Beautiful . Artfully done home .

[@0mua]

I love this home tour. She was talking about the story of the rugs and I was wondering about the story of her dress bc the love of color and pattern seamlessly flow through it all. I love seeing a home that invites you to get to know the ppl who live there. Well done!

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

I too live in Brooklyn. I found a huge lithograph of Christopher Walken in the trash. It was in perfect condition. It takes up half of my wall and it is the one piece of art that gets the most complements. You never know what you will find around the end of the month when people move out of apartments. I have no shame dragging things back to my Williamsburg apartment that I have owned for the past 30 years. I even get the wood slats of the Ikea beds. I make them into planters for my terrace. Your apartment is nice and cozy. It is a railroad in a building that is either a corner building or one without any other building attached to it. I grew up in a railroad apartment.

[@richardsanty9063]

If you don't mind me asking, what is a railroad apartment?

[@yyyid9518]

Sounds like you should be featured on apartment therapy… I would love to see it

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

A railroad apartment is one where you have to go through each room to reach another. There is no separate entrance to enter any particular room by itself. It is called a railroad apartment because it is like a railroad car on a train. To get to the front of the train, you have to go through each car.@@richardsanty9063

[@susybeltran2218]

I would love to see your apartment, too!!

[@Vinnie-cv5qv]

I have a full unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline and Long Island City from the terrace on the 21st floor. Just the view alone is worth a feature.@@yyyid9518

[@Lea-zf7lm]

Congratulations! Well done you 👏 The Mel Brooks book bit was the cherry on top. Who doesn't love Mel?!

[@gaildickerson2226]

Absolutely love Mel Brooks. What a great honor to meet and interview him. Maybe your wife can carry the book while you carry her then you'll have the best of both worlds. 😉

[@wirkaswirka]

This home is like a hug. I love it

[@tammyhurst6729]

Your home is so cozy, welcoming and really well designed. Beautiful. You are so adorable and can tell you and your partner are happy in your home. It is made with love.

[@anupamar5383]

This home is so beautiful and full of character. It showcases the brilliance of the owners in curating and putting together every single small piece, that go so well together. It almost looks like someone designed the rooms to be that way and yet they are all pieces that came from difference pre-loved sources ! I love love love the vibe, the idea for pieces to be chosen with care and intention and courage ( specially depicted in the colour palettes) !

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

3:18 to 3:31 she just said it all for every house apartment tour on KZbin 🤣 you don’t have to explain it we know 🤣 go girl she seems lovely

[@stephenrhys5374]

The home is as charming and quirky as the inhabitants. ❤️

[@karin9373]

Just beautiful. It’s full of character and love and quirks. It looks like a happy place ❤️

[@mochimochi82]

It’s gorgeous. The bones are fantastic but what you’ve done with it makes it really special.

[@margaretinsydney3856]

I absolutely love this apartment! It's just wonderful how you can put so many ornamental touches and so much colour into a reasonably small space and still have it feel spacious. I would like to move in here and live the rest of my life in such a lovely place.😊

[@SinaLaJuanaLewis]

I dont think he had anything to do with the decor. It's her show😂❤

[@aliya2601]

Haha, absolutely agree

[@lyraserpentine894]

She is GORGEOUS! And I'm envious of that red rug. Lovely.

[@44CJW]

This home is just lovely. I feel very uninspired with many apartment tours I see on KZbin lately, but this one is a nice change of pace. ❤

[@ahilltodieonpodcast116]

This was such a great tour - I couldn't stop smiling! The home is lovely, but the people were so endearing. Between 'advertising the concept of rugs' and the Mel Brooks book, this was probably one of the most engaging and fun tours.

[@jsmith5509]

I love the floor plan of this apartment! Those French doors are everything!

[@barbarawillis5187]

I love that there are plants in every window. The mix of colors and textiles gives a warm and cozy feeling. A sweet couple who are aware of what makes a home a relaxing place to feel good in. I love Abhilasha's dress and that Joe's autographed book by Mel Brooks has a special meaning for him.❤

[@centralWisconsin1]

Wonderfully, well curated home. You guys did a fantastic job!!!

[@algreenwood4114]

Love everything about this styling..very eclectic. Love the rugs and the stories of your acquisitions. Lovely couple.

[@MsReveur]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the mix of different styles and all the colors. It's seems like a cozy and welcoming home.

[@patriciaromero5347]

One of the best apartments tour I have seen!love it!

[@sarahp1383]

Gorgeous house, full of colour and light. The rugs ,so carefully curated, add so much vibrance to your home, as also the Jaipuri and Moroccan touches, in this apartment.

[@saskiapedersen6407]

The mantle is stunning and such a good find!

[@TerryNortonAustin]

Your home is lovely: inviting, peaceful, cozy and the colors you chose are perfect. It looks homey. Thanks for sharing.

[@elenap3096]

Beautiful home! The rugs and bedspread pull everything together, plus the mantle, which was a great find.

[@dodiegoldney]

I am totally stealing "cool grandma" to describe my style. Beautifully done!

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

Wow! I just love this well-thought-out and cozy, comfortable space!

[@leannesmith3480]

I love how this apartment is not overly designed and overly decorated. Very relaxed and warm. Not a bad price for a 750 ft apartment too.

[@giuliabarbero8107]

Amazing home... Darth Vader drinking a cup of tea is everything; where did you take this masterpiece guys?!

[@maryannkom299]

There’s something about old New York architecture. So full of character. These kinds of spaces are much harder to come by out west where I’ve lived the vast majority of my life. Character is everything. Such a cozy space to share with someone you love.

[@debbiemoreton2372]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@lolah3838]

I love this space. Can't believe you got this much floor space in Brooklyn for that rent.

[@makeyourselfathome6826]

A very cute couple. She us just so beautiful. I love every single thing in their apartment. It is so cozy, homey , warm and inviting.

[@underthemermaidmoon]

Wonderful and whimsical home! So cozy and inviting!

[@SusanChristmas]

Really nice love the rugs. I recently started buying the good rugs and what a difference they make in warming up a home.

[@therealJamieJoy]

Love this apartment's design as well as the styling and arrangement. I would pull the dining table away from the wall, but this is only a minor suggestion. It's all lovely. Thank you for sharing!

[@pattiray8542]

What a lovely space! I’m not afraid of color, either 😉

[@soniasantossoares]

This "granny chic style" is so warm... Thanks for sharing... Love from Brazil ❤

[@tammyvanholst6913]

ok I don't like to comment on ones appearance too much but Abhilasha, you are such a beauty!! your home is gorgeous too. I would pretty much die for that bedspread. So colorful.

[@l.a.3479]

The bedspread IS beautiful. However, a few, precious things in life are worth dying for, and home decor is not one of them.

[@tammyvanholst6913]

@@l.a.3479 agreed, it’s a silly expression. Couldn’t enjoy the bedspread if I was dead

[@donnaclinton991]

A warm and beautifully decorated home. Thanks for making me smile. 😊

This is my FAVOURITE Apartment Therapy. Plus she's awesome and he's a sweetie. Cute couple. Excellent style.

[@jayt4835]

I love the home a lot but I absolutely adore the couple too. So cute.

[@maddiek1980]

Such a lovely couple. Who have made a beautiful home. Got a sense they were apologetic for working in a creative industry. I hope that’s a misread. They’re awesome and creative and have an amazing home.

Bello departamento!!! Las alfombras increibles

[@SRGots]

I would never leave that apartment.

[@ary1019]

Thank you for the mini rug lesson, I have such a hard time picking out rugs.

[@MountainTess]

Such a cute couple. She is dressed how I'd always love to be. Their home is beautiful and so very cozy. I love it! :)

[@ms.carmeng7995]

You have a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing.

[@aeolia80]

this is closer to what I would like to do for decor style in my place, but I had to compromise with my partner and our apartment just felt weird with more classic looking styles, it gravitated to more mid-century, so I went with it, but I can't afford good real mid-century pieces, and it's hard to find cheep second hand pieces where I live, they're usually really expensive, so I usually end up with cheaply made cheaper furniture. But I really try to fill the space with cozy things because mid-century can feel a little stark and cold and hard.

[@Lulu-oi9ue]

I really love the rugs, it just really works. I am going to use this as inspiration because I want to go with a cool grandma vibe too.

[@Rollimggiant]

I need that bedding!!! I'm envious of your home just beautiful

[@deborahking2367]

It actually looks like a home fill of “soul”….I love it!

Very cozy and eclectic - it works and your home is about you so you do you ❤

Very nice eclectic home, clearly they love color and prints and mix..

This is the most beautiful home, and probably the home I'd most want to live in because it matches my aesthetic. I applaud the Abhilasha and Joe! Love the colors, patterns, and plants. It's great to see an apartment tour that isn't copying every trend. 🙌🙌🙌
