'A little grandma; a lot grandpa' should be a recognized style category.

[@manningthis]

TOTALLY!!! Lol!!!

[@Katie-io6fv]

It is 😭, maximalism

[@AnoojaDebnath]

Yay! Dust on his coffee table. A realistic apartment. And I love maximalism. Thank you. Really enjoyed this.

[@CowboyBike06]

I love it too. Have you seen the Ralph Lauren Cabin/Log Home, not the one in Colorado, the other one with gold furniture, Tartan curtains, houndstooth chair, raven pictures, and layered rugs. It’s a hot mess and I absolutely love it!

[@jdchy6181]

u can tell the apartment design really reflects his personality - eclectic, quirky, amusing & overall just super interesting ✨😌

[@Rmartinezvqz1020]

I instantly love this guy’s personality.

You were so sweet thank you so much!!! Xoxoxo

Me too! I want him to be my next-door neighbor and best friend!

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

What he said about putting the Christmas card in an antique book then finding it yrs later & it brings a tear to your eyes so true! Love the curiosity cabinet, love his entire apartment & his personality!

[@captblk]

Except for seeing him wear sneakers on his bed (eeek!), this apartment tour is fabulous. With all the cookie-cutter apartment tours on KZbin (“here’s my tall Ikea mirror, here’s my neutral rug from Target”), it’s refreshing to see something original and unique.

[@gambit23776]

Couldn't agree more! So refreshing to see some personality in an apt!

[@devoragoldman7150]

I love the personal style and energy of this apartment and its owner!

[@manningthis]

You were so sweet! Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet note!

[@GradKat]

This apartment is completely individual and totally gorgeous. I love it!!

[@Lucysabine]

I love the validation of things in this. I too love being able to go into a space and there being layers of the things to look at. I love art overload and little details, and want people to have an “experience” in the spaces they’re in. You’re definitely going to remember the experience of going into this guy’s space!

[@skylark1250]

I have minimalist neighbors and I find it too bare to be interesting. Plain. No reflection of the owners personality. I like my stuff and have collected many different things over the years: books, art, animal figurines, antique furniture. I like walls filled with art and not just one piece per wall. Even a wall full of paint by number paintings can be interesting. I have figurines that I collected over the years mostly of dogs although I have real cats. When I traveled I used to say “this is a one dog town” meaning I bought a dog figurine or a painting of a dog. And I keep figurines in antique cases that are very nice. Modern decorating gives me the shivers. It’s too plain and magazine like to be real for people to live in. I too have a little of that grandma/grandpa style. History matters to me in my furniture and style. And old furniture is so beautifully made. I just can’t fathom living the most imagist style. I have deeply purged my collection of stuff when I owned an antique store, but my home still has a lot of interesting things. And I think your style is beautiful and is so much more interesting and appealing then plain walls and two piece couches.

[@fishercourt]

@@skylark1250Yhats awesome that you collect antique & vintage dog figurines and I just want to say that I have begun looking into dog statues and the old dog figurines that are like white with spots. I have seen a lot of them in antique shops and also in home tours on YT. Do you know where I can find some nice antique dog stuff? Thanks

[@kk-fl4pb]

I feel like he could be in a NYC-set sitcom.....with his lesbian bestie and neighbors across the hall too...😅

[@Gracielooks]

Yes!

[@ndominique32]

I’d definitely watch 😂

[@butchlane4609]

and his name is Ryan Cox.. it sounds so contrived most would immediately assume it to be a fake. It's clearly his real name. Far too many people underestimate the gays. They can get the keys to their new place, unpack, install a washer/dryer, and still have dinner prepared for 7:00 just as the hand-cut invitations suggested.

[@manningthis]

@@butchlane4609 lol!!! I always make a joke that gays and lesbians should get federal grants to move into dilapidated dilapidated neighborhoods!!! Lol!!! Thank you so much for that, I am giggling as I write this

[@mycreativelife-renee6315]

Yes! I want to know them both ha ha. That’s some amazing energy! ✨💥🔥

[@kristieprice8842]

Your home is magical! It is filled with treasures and warmth. I envy your collection of art work.

[@likhi13]

Maximalism is not for me but I absolutely love this attitude towards home decor❤️

[@Gracie-qg5lm]

I adore his home and I love his positive attitude. I think we all miss community. 💕

[@cynthiavickers8099]

Ryan, you're delightful! Love your apt., love your style, love your advice, love your energy. Thanks for sharing!

[@claudemariechampagne1349]

Your apartment is GREAT! I love that you put everything you love in there and that it reflects who you are. Kudos on fixing your kitchen yourself and adding the washer dryer! You rock!

[@ModestMom2009]

I know you talked and showed us your place, but, you are just adorable!! You should be a KZbin creator with your coffee just talking about random stuff I would be listening!💓

[@manningthis]

That’s so sweet of you to say! Working with ApartmentTherapy it was so much fun! They have an amazing team!!!

[@msflores3452]

“Throw pillows will come and go but it’s the people around you that really matter”. This guy is the best .. or I should say this Ryan is the the best!! And this is coming from a little grandma❤️

😍😍😍😍😍. I would love to tour this space in person. So much to look at. What a cool inviting place.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

Just know there are people out there who pay money to hear the advice he just gave for free about creating a space. 🖤👏👏👏

[@amandajohnson4428]

Nice home! He seems like a blast to be around. 💕

[@misterscruffle]

I love his style. I actually met him when I lived in nyc! I did something similar with my own apartment with a huge gallery wall and some antique and curiosities.

[@CowboyBike06]

How fun!! Now THAT’s a story! 😉

Great tour and decor, makes me want to go to the website to view more of it. But can't unsee that he put his shoes on the bed pillows 🤔 To each his own...

[@KaliKali-hv9bt]

ha ha same. Shoes on pillows is a NO for me. Everything else I ENJOYED.

Ok I’m not a fan of maximalism but my lord, he just made me a convert. Love every nooks and cranny and all the detail (except that Elvis bust lol).

Okay...... Replace the Elvis bust with an Elvis photo. Problem solved.

That’s my name don’t wear it out! Lol 😘😘😘

[@annamorgan9069]

OMG, this reminds me of my late friend Chuck's place back in the 60s. I was going to the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and he was a former student still living in the old neighborhood. Chuck was an artist and his small jewel box of an apartment (also above a bar) was a meeting place for a bunch of us. He also had original art from floor to ceiling and many, many oddities. Love the creativity it takes to make something like this be cohesive. It takes real talent.

[@cameronthemonster]

You are a really good-natured and sweet guy. Your home is so beautiful 😍. I am a dollar store and thrift shop maximalist

[@margaretlee-reed814]

Wow ... a renter who improves the space (and does the work/buys the materials) ... instead of tearing up brand new appliances and new renovations. What a concept! You're fantastic. Must say New Yorkers are "brave" with all the things they create in a rental. Landlords are blessed in that area of the country. I could spend hours in there just looking around ... in a "tiny" (not so tiny) space. I bet your landlords let's you keep the W/D unit THERE when you move. I hope he loves the kitchen make over. Why would he not. But, do tell ... you did ask/tell him first ... right. (Maybe even before moving in?!) Prearranged agreement. Very unique and well done. I like.

Love it! LOl, when I was 21, a neighbor kid was dying to see my room in the condo I shared with three other gals. When she saw it, (1) she was disappointed it was more 'grown-up' cus I had the same posters of Han Solo and INdy Jones as she did ("You're just a big kid.") and then she remarked as she looked at every nook and cranny of my collectibles and posters and books, "Your room is like a museum."

[@issabrogue1641]

Love your apt! You may not even still live there but regardless, you’re comment about wanting your living room to be like the science museum (i paraphrase) really resonated. Love your beautiful paintings and interesting little objects stashed around to delight the eye. Have you heard of the Ashmolean Museum in England - and the Tradescants (father and son), and their pal/nemesis Ashmole - ( late 17th into 18th century) that’s the vibe you’ve tapped into. You seem like such a cool guy and I would love to spend a magic moment looking around at your awesome collection. Magic being operative word. Thanks for posting this! A real delight to come across. And yes, beds are for bouncing on!!!

In today's stay at home orders, reduced hours, limited selections. Getting things on demand is not an option. I to... started to see life in a maximalist view. Comfort and capacity is the new visual facade. That washer/dryer becomes the new esthetic in a small space.
