Inside CeCe Barfield Thompson's New York City Apartment

[@jcook003]

I went to college with CeCe she has always had impeccable taste and a great heart!

[@peggybarry911]

This has to be one of my favorite home tours. Sophisticated yet livable. Relaxed and charming. CeCe is darling too.

[@LeCrenn]

This lady has excellent taste. Gramercy Park is a beautiful neighborhood, and this apartment has been lovingly renovated. I would like to have seen more of the kitchen in the video, and also to see her solution for combining the three separate bathroom spaces.

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

And that, folks, is how the other half lives in NYC! However, there were a lot of perfectly usable ideas, such as hiding the TV in a hutch, using stain treated fabrics, the "palate cleanse" bedroom and GREEN, such a great color to decorate with, it has energy/life but is also peaceful.

[@Schumacher1889]

This apartment had the best energy!

[@ginafriend1690]

Love it! I feel she's a kindred soul. Not fussy but styled with meaning. Great color choices, calming (sanctuary) bedrooms. Fun artsy items here and there to show humor. Antiques with history. I adore both her Oliver and the two artists drawings of her children. Love is in her home!

[@marycollins1631]

I like the natural colors, fabrics, and good flow of furniture placement..

[@paulajf4205]

Hmm, it's hard to believe that anyone was hesitant to buy a Gramercy Park apartment, even with it being a "project." That location is very coveted in NYC, w/exclusive access to the park. That said, whatever the before was, the after/current look of it is beautiful and serene and they just tripled their investment.

[@Schumacher1889]

Nothing is better than a park view!

[@sandraleigh4023]

I know, right??!!

[@carissafisher7514]

I have never seen a gated park. I think nothing is better giving to those in need. I have boughten people’s groceries for them at the store before and it literally makes them cry of happiness. I think a gated park is a crime against humanity, and all things moral.

[@cecik5578]

@@carissafisher7514 your generosity is wonderful. I agree that it is beautiful to give to those in need. However, I don’t think a gated park is a crime against humanity. I’m sure a lot of people in NYC want to be able to let their kids run a bit free without having to worry about some drug addict popping out from behind the bushes and accosting them. You get enough of that behavior on the streets.

[@carissafisher7514]

@Ceci K it is usually the uncle, a trusted family friend that hurts your kids. It is statistically proven that the people you know, and trust are the ones who will hurt you. It is a misnomer that homeless people are hiding in a back alley to rape you. Most people are homeless because they don’t have family support and most Americans are one paycheck away from homelessness. It is the rich uncle paying for your son’s college you should be worried about molesting your child.

[@cafemarlene8]

Love this. So tastefully furnished. Beautiful. Love the colors used

[@karenderuyter2568]

CeCe you are a natural talent🤍 I love your artwork, it creates the mood in every room and the “ticking on everything “ in your living room was so clever.

[@Schumacher1889]

A natural talent indeed!

[@dianebaker5243]

This is a beautiful home loved how each room had different colours and styles. Your grandmother's pillow have a fantastic quote embroidered on it.♥️

[@Schumacher1889]

Her grandmother's pillow is just fabulous!

[@kimstahl6833]

I love green also. Her home is beautifully done.

[@dinifroggy]

I love it when a home reflects the personality of a person. She can do it easily, of course, but sometimes people find affordable ways too. She considered the dog, which is cool, and made the common areas quite peaceful. Blending or matching the view with the interior is a smart touch. I also liked that she did not make it completely classic ir symmetric- there are some unexpected twists in it.

[@seficurada4375]

[@bbrosser694]

So much well-chosen beauty based on favorite colors and objects, but most of all featuring what the family loves. Life is better when living among and with the things we love in our home.

[@andrewgross1758]

Gorgeous. Thought Bunny Williams, then looked CeCe up and I was right lol... So my only note is that the window treatment in the living room could use a valance, tastefully done of course, like the one in the kitchen but slightly higher to show more of the window. (Maybe another one in the bedroom over the windows, too.) That would give more harmony/unity to the curtains, especially when they're open (which would be most of the time). That would create more of a sense that the park view is enframed, though the view would still be inviting.

[@TravelingKristin]

elegant and homey. Love that she loves green, as that is my favorite color too

[@aliceflanagan3672]

Stunning. Dining room is crowded but wonderful. Never saw a bathroom.

[@yellowbug5113]

Stunning home! The dining room is just fabulous!

[@rachaelnead4629]

It is lovely and also WASPY.. so WASPY. If you were to come into my home, I would have to say. This is from IKEA. We chose this because it was cheap. The cheap theme continues with items I picked up at T.J Maxx. I picked these colors because that is what T.J Maxx had the most of. My architect was me.. and the guy I hired to do the work because he was cheap due to him being an alcoholic and frequently not showing up for work. Look at the charming errors he made in the tiling because of his inebriation. Ignore how the cabinets touch the door when you open them.. oops. I can't afford to fix it. In fact don't look at the bathrooms as we ran out of money before those got done.

[@anniehall709]

That just cracked me up! 😆 so funny and so true!

[@marygreen3529]

I ended up having to hire someone else to finish the job. Next month, my floors get refinished by a father-son team who have done well in the past. Wish me luck.
