NYC APARTMENT TOUR | A Chic Pre-War Family Apartment

[@mthivier]

I love that they kept the original structure and layout of the apartment. Too many times we see people who buy a prewar apartment with all of the original details, and then proceed to gut the entire flat to create an (cringe) "open concept" space with generic, mass--produced components. This still feels very much like a 1925 apartment, but with her and her husband's personal style superimposed on it. It's beautiful.

This liveable home is lovingly curated, intentionally filled with items that surround the family with style and grace. So well done. A departure from designed homes filled instantaneously with things from another's viewpoint. Timeless.

Awww the doggie comes and sniffs the camera🤣 💛🤣

I love this home. Sarah did a phenominal job in decorating it. Love her personality too.

[@dragonflyviz6546]

Thank you for sharing your home . I love your decorating style and each room is a delight to the eye.

How to say you're rich, "I'm not afraid of Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel."🙄 However, the spaces she created here are thoughtfully functional, timeless and chic. That can be hard to balance with kid friendly, but she still infuses sophistication. Lots of ideas here!

[@thoughts3897]

I thought the same thing. Those were stores she referenced as the "low end." A bit of a skewed idea of what constitutes "low."

[@janeyjoiner9815]

She really said her sofa was from Restoration Hardware as if she found it in the trash 😂

[@paolap3443]

Love it😊

[@midiamrodriguez5732]

Absolutely love your home. Thank you for sharing!

[@thoughts3897]

I guess we all have different views on High/ Low. Goodwill is more my reference point for "low" --and I love finding a bargain there. (You referenced Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware as the low end.) That said, I love the kids' rooms. Very nice, and, yes, I think that the decor --especially in the older daughter's room will last through the elementary years.

Love the dog!!!!! And your home!!

Un departamento con buen gusto y estilo propio. Los cuartos infantiles me encantaron y tambien las referencias a muebles de autor a lamparas y objetos de todo tipo y de diseño exquisito. Gracias por compartir❤

Lovely home. We have similar tastes and gee whiz I love that dresser. I was super impressed with your video. I come across real treasures in often the unlikeliest places. I found two Eero Saarinen Executive chairs in a muffler shop that they were using in a customer waiting area. My mouth dropped and they were original 1950's Knoll. I asked the shop owner who had been there for about fifty years if he would sell them to me and he said maybe, and you tell me!... He was waiting for me to make a good offer and I just took a shot at $100.00 each and he said yes. I grew up in a mid-century master's house and my dad was the design director for four major companies in his career. I did not think much about interiors growing up and assumed everyone had furniture by Eames, McCobb, Knoll, Saarinen, Nakashima, Bertoia, Nelson, Risom, Wegner, Thonet and others. My dad early on in his design career was an Advanced Stylist for Ford Lincoln Mercury and designed future cars throughout the 1950's but he was also interior design trained and back in the 1940's the design schools often trained people for various jobs. He also designed rocket ships ( Redstone Rockets like Friendship 7 that orbited earth in 1962) for the Chrysler Missile program back then. He was a fascinating man and raised six kids with my mom. He also was a WWII combat veteran and was the pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's boss in the army and they did maps and engineering drawings and reconnaissance for the 69th Infantry Division together. Roy was not known then or even doing pop art. My dad was in a way like Forrest Gump in the middle of history. He became friends with Paul McCobb and did some design of spaces for Paul's Planner Group designs. Paul was a WWII veteran as well and served in a similar capacity as my dad. Anyway., I heard you studied interior design and figured you would know what I'm rambling on about. I love what you did with your home. You are good at articulating the thought process and I can feel your joy. You should be proud. I had a different path in art and design and became a graphic designer/ illustrator and have created some children's books and published in books and magazines. I'm 64 years old now and my first jobs were in interior design and architectural firms for many, many years. I worked for Nelson Global before they were global. I was the senior graphic designer within ARAMARK Inc. facilities planning group and worked on hundreds of projects for the country's sports stadiums, airports, universities, national landmarks doing the graphics and interior renderings of projects for the interior design group. I did the Olympics every four years and designed for them. I had a very odd journey in design and also designed branding for major clothing companies and any graphics or art related elements on clothing. I would travel to New York to the Fashion Atrium building for meetings. I'm an abstract painter now and never saw that coming. I worked for Disney and Lucas Films. It's crazy stuff. I just really liked your video because you're talking about things I know very well. I love that passion you have for design and it makes us feel good. You touched on almost every area of design that I worked in. Thanks for sharing. I have watched so many interior design videos lately and think dang! did I miss my true calling. I was around it forever, but my path was very different. I enjoy decorating my home which is in a constant evolution. I love what you said about finding things you love because that's really the key.

Homeworthy, why not include your guest's Instagram and website in the description?

[@ceeemm1796]

Great upholstery! Who did the work, please?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Not fond of the idea of no proper sound insulation - I'd be cursing anyone above me with kids thundering about. Before faffing with aesthetics I'd have got some proper sound proofing, thin rugs don't cut it!

[@thoughts3897]

My good friend lives in a pre-war building in NYC. She said they are required to have a certain percentage of the floors covered for that very reason. There is a LOT of sound that transfers --especially if her kids are actually riding scooters indoors! I would be cursing them, too!

[@enricapelliciari9726]

Sono tutte uguali le case , un po di rubinetti color ottone , tanti cuscini , carta da parati a fiori . Fanno tutti quello che va di moda

[@terrynorman1222]

Ummm is her fav word😂😂😂😂😂

[@d.l.n.7133]

I sometimes will FF the “ chats” or if the host has an annoying way of speaking , l will watch on mute. I am just” hear” to see design , l don’t need life stories .

[@stevefranks1711]

Yes.... it is distracting and annoying. There is a way to address that common habit. People, in any profession that involves some public speaking, should seek out Toastmasters.

[@starr6465]

Dag gone , just enjoy the presentation. Don’t be so mean

[@corinnapetry65]

Great apartment. Interior design not very interesting.
