Tour 700 sqft of Parisian Style in NYC's West Village

[@chezvudecor]

Thank you Apartment Therapy for such visiting my little Parisian place in NYC. Loved working with you all and you made my home look so amazing. So happy to say hello to the AT community!

[@teresacarle294]

😊Thank you Michelle for giving us such a brilliantly informative tour of your charming NYC apartment. You represented yourself & Apt Therapy quite remarkably👏🏻! Appreciated your terrific thoroughness. ❤Loved hearing every detail about your exquisite collections, striking choices, & the adventurous life that inspired you to create this fabulous 🇫🇷French oasis of elegance. 😉Bit of a maximalista myself. Highly enjoy your being surrounded by sweetly sentimental stuff & memories that have been curated so well. Plenty of clever ideas to steal too. You beautifully blended a sense of ⚜️ Parisian sophistication, modernity, & glamour💫 w/that old world charm that I adore. One or the other alone might be too fussy & formal on their own, but a marriage of the two extremes is a complete chef's kiss👩‍🍳-💋. ❤Loved your peaceful overall light feminine neutral color palate w/pops of ✨️gold✨️ & 🔹️blue. 🥂May you, Augie, & all who enter always be joy filled & content in your lovely home.🕊God bless you! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@Dawbes.]

This is one of the most perfect apartments I’ve seen. Beautiful and amazing layout.

[@TruthOrClaire]

I would never guess that her apartment was the size that it is because she did an incredible job renovating and decorating it. Her style is so elegant, and I love all of the personal touches!

[@IndigoCosmic]

Her apartment is absolutely gorgeous!

[@elizabethann9152]

I love what you do with your water. Elevate the simple moments. They are what comprise our lives, and they should be beautiful. Also, what is more beautiful than water?

[@auntiemame7076]

Love how thoughtful her approach is to her apartment’s design. It looks fabulous!

[@jm7804]

Yes. A lot of those things you could do on a tighter budget as well. For instance, the painted secretary with the wallpaper backing. You could pick up a yard sale or thrift store piece and do something very similar for almost nothing.

[@blkbeauti05]

This place is giving luxury.

[@nicollechantelle]

This is my all time favorite episode of apartment therapy. The owner is amazing and I love how she explains everything. The apartment is unique and just exquisite. Absolutely stunning.

[@chezvudecor]

Awww this is so sweet thank you!

[@lizetteperezcue7606]

What beautifully executed spaces ❤ this is by far "my favorite" inspo home tour from any of my sites. I keep going back to it. Ohh the details 🫠. Really hope to have you help me with a space in the future ✨️ All the best, Lizette

[@chezvudecor]

@@lizetteperezcue7606 AWW thank you! you guys are the best. I have tons of updates on IG too =)

[@chezvudecor]

@@lizetteperezcue7606 Thank you for this kind comment!

[@phirintra]

I second this comment. The apartment is gorgeous

[@prettyorganized9333]

She has so many beautiful little moments in her apartment that make it feel special. The framed letter, the curved nook in the kitchen, this is a lovely space.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Apartment Therapy never fails to show us interesting projects and interiors. This one is so fab too! 💖💖

[@janetta98]

Gorgeous aesthetic. I cannot abide an open floor plan, but you've made a lovely jewel-box of a space.

[@agiftedlife-WOW]

Gorgeous! Not just beautiful, but very clever and innovative. Not one inch of space wasted and every bit of space is interesting. I will be watching this again and again!

[@chezvudecor]

[@sherrycohen1824]

What an exquisite apartment. I'm with you about dressers. When I stayed at the Wedgwood Inn in New Hope, PA, my room had a gorgeous classic sideboard instead of a dresser. It also had a square flat butter dish by Villeroy & Boch underneath a carafe of water by the bed. Those opened my eyes about repurposing things for both function and decor.

[@FPCagleMedia]

Thank you for the tour of your home. The apartment is absolutely stunning. Your use of mirrors and lighting really makes your space expansive. I love the story you've told with all of the pieces you've chosen. I'm happy that you have this beautiful space to call yours.

[@lisagutierrez1962]

Every stylish, curated piece is absolutely lovely and I can feel your sentiment everywhere which makes for a happy and idealic home sweet home.😊

[@andrescastillo07]

So inspiring! I love this aesthetic, is very elegant and classy. It looks like a completely different space with all the additions, the French wainscoting looks amazing. And the dog is adorable :D

[@chezvudecor]

Merci beaucoup! Such a kind comment

[@barbarawillis5187]

I love Michelle's style. The color choices are very pleasing. Every area looks very glamorous.

[@chezvudecor]

merci!

[@tammysims8716]

It's difficult to choose my favorite part of this gorgeous space. But if I had to, the rounded wall nook with the tall lamp with black shade and fringe and the David bust is really special. Thank you for giving a tour of your lovely home.

[@raymondf3670]

She has an amazing apt it's beautiful

[@wonderwhat4]

Wow. Your apartment is beautiful. You have great taste! Thanks for the tour! 👍

[@44CJW]

I think the most beautiful apartment I've seen on this channel. So inspiring.

[@chezvudecor]

Wow that's so nice! Thank you so much

[@44CJW]

@chezvudecor You're welcome! You've made it so warm and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@itsmecsmythe]

Stunning! The mosaic art you commissioned speaks beautifully.

[@chezvudecor]

tysm!

[@debrap947]

Very soft, airy and cozy space. Beautifully done.

[@chezvudecor]

Thank you!

[@rachanasoma776]

Absolutely soothing n peaceful ❤ inspiring in many ways apart from the decor, her motto, her journey. Yes, it's WE who live in our homes 24/7. We need to love it

[@chezvudecor]

100%

[@j.m.9796]

Beautiful design, she made the space look bigger and more elegant.

[@junemorkin6336]

Very pretty home you have. I use a Swifter almost daily, takes no time at all, it’s small and picks up all the dust!

[@lisanester3338]

Your home is exactly that…yours! Beautiful.❤

[@naomiwilson1212]

Love how this reflects you. Great use of space.

[@goodgrief888]

This is very feminine and lovely. I always thought duplex meant two side by side homes that are identical and share a wall. I’ve never heard duplex used to mean a place with two floors. But I love her space either way.

[@likemeordont5951]

What a beautiful home she's made for her and her doggy.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

I know that doggie is so cute😁

[@chezvudecor]

Augie and I thank you!

[@gingin1050]

Pretty. 💗 I love th lo see lights in the wall. Great idea, it looks so soft.😊

[@maylentrujillo6283]

I’ve been following Michelle on Instagram for a while and I love how she is open and detailed about the items she has in her apartment. She really invites you in. She also gives you so many ideas to make your space your own. Thanks to her I’ve found so many great items and companies.

[@LifePinkorporated]

I love the beautifully secluded basement boudoir. So lovely!

[@chezvudecor]

merci!

[@lesliejones7018]

Beautifully done! And it doesn't look small. Love the color of the walls.

[@chezvudecor]

Aww I'm so glad it doesn't look small. Definitely is perfect for one.

[@kathleenrichardson6695]

Absolutely gorgeous apartment and gorgeous young lady.

[@athena3865]

Absolutely beautiful. I renovated my two story home from the ground up, so I know what went into this. The bathroom is my favorite, and the black floors are perfect, as a light floor would not be the same dramatic feel. I sold my home and live in a Highrise, and this is so inspiring. French is my favorite style...I had the same exact secretary.

[@viewfrommylensjane]

Love the water container LOVE! the kitchen is as pretty as the lounge room.. Love the blue, I am a blue person & love France

[@chezvudecor]

Love this message! Appreciate you watching along

[@jenocean824]

I absolutely LOVE the layout of your home! You have put so much of yourself into your decorating and everything has so much meaning. Your everyday job should be as an interior designer, cause girl, you have talent!

[@chezvudecor]

Awww thank you! It's so fun for me

[@ThePerryda]

Wow her apartment is gorgeous!! The love the stories behind the pieces and how intentional she was with each part of the home❤

[@AvecPoesie]

I am extraordinarily grateful to have been introduced to this remarkably well-decorated and designed Home. Her tastes and preferred aesthetic is profoundly aligned with my own Home Decor leanings. She and I have so much in common that it is actually, rather startling. I, too, have history with residing in Paris. I also used to work for the Luxury division of L'Oréal. I used to live in New York City, too! My goodness. I now own a lovely, Colonial Revival style Home in the suburbs and I am actively decorating with a thoroughly Parisian aesthetic in mind. I concur, quite sadly, pertaining to the conundrum of Black floors. The entire second floor of my Home was bought featuring high-gloss, Black painted hard wood flooring. Absolutely EVERY speck is glaringly visible, much to my utter dismay. Overall, Michelle should be very, very proud of her Parisian West Village abode. Her taste is impeccable and satisfying, in equal measure. 🖤🇫🇷🖤

[@chezvudecor]

What a coincidence! I'm sure you will create an amazing space

[@victorypeacelovenlight]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that collects fragrance bottles ...sometimes keep thr empty ones as well.

[@chezvudecor]

they are beautiful pieces!

[@carolynratliff1380]

She is just as elegant as her apartment….I just love love love it all…. Thankyou for sharing your precious home with all of us….hugs from carolyn in Columbus Georgia…..I hope my grandson gets a place soon so I can help decorate it!….I forgot to say she is a fantastic speaker….she needs to be on tv!!!!…your painting is fantastic….please tell us how you did that….please

[@chezvudecor]

Omg this is such a kind and sweet message. Sending hugs back from NYC! Have fun decorating his place!

🗼 ~ Gorgeous - what a transformation!!! It absolutely feels like a chic & stunning Parisian apartment ... ✨

[@adrianne3303]

My third time watching this video. 😊 Thank you for opening your home to us, and for all that you’ve shared with us. I’m especially inspired by the story of your kitchen island and the marble remnant. Finally, enjoy all the beautiful fruits of your labor. Thanks, Apartment Therapy! 😊

[@chezvudecor]

Merciiiiii so sweet

I absolutely love the entire apartment. Great choices and taste everywhere you turn. And I especially adore the bathroom wallpaper!!!

Beautiful and ingenious apartment. I LOVE that you name the artists you worked with! ❤

[@chezvudecor]

appreciate you!

[@charlottecrookham]

A balanced and graceful woman with a voice actor range, wise in her choices, and beautiful tastes. I love that she honored a milepost of life with the French-inspired, bedroom portrait: personal & unique. Thank you for naming the paint colors.

[@reneeb9021]

Stunning home 💖 I’m in love with every detail you included! So so nice. Enjoyed this video !! 💕

[@carlenemcdonald9625]

absolutely breathtaking.

[@Twtybird1]

I hardly ever meet a hue of blue I don’t like. I 💗 the color of the kitchen cabinets! My leather couch is very close to that color. • I also keep a glass water dispenser on my counter. It’s not as beautiful as Michelle’s, so now I’m shopping for a new one! 7:00 This is the answer to my problem of an exposed AC unit!

[@chezvudecor]

yay!

[@jamalaw]

What a lovely home tour.. I love the parisian style she created ...admire all the details and thought process she took to have her special style.

[@chezvudecor]

Appreciate you!

[@meganmckissick2281]

I would do wall sconces on the right & left side of your bed. Also, the lamps can be lamps that can swing further towards the bed when needed!

[@marionandrews176]

Love her apartment and its progression.

[@katie9861]

What a gorgeous apartment! I absolutely love the Marie Antoinette mosaic, my grandmother took me to Paris when I was 17 and walked around Versailles it was magical, but I've never been to New York and I dream of having an apartment just like that when I'm done with school in Florida and finally get to make my dream come true of having an apartment just like that in New York thank you so much for sharing

[@chezvudecor]

thank you for sharing!

[@ms.aineec.beland9684]

Thank you for supporting!

[@elizabethwarnick9815]

An absolutely beautiful apartment with really clever and creative approaches to NYC living. And as a lover of Michael Mapes, I absolutely love the piece you commissioned.

[@chezvudecor]

He's so talented!

[@19lynnhopefeenan63]

Your apartment is just so gorgeous! I would never leave that beautiful tranquil bedroom suite!

[@smgreenartsprivate]

Great design on this apartment totally functional I thought a bit cluttered at first but is lovely no less well done and great tips on antiquing.

[@chezvudecor]

Thank you!

[@eileenhwalsh]

This is such a great apartment! It is Parisian but it still is in the vibe of the gilded age era that NYC definitely was a part of.

[@chezvudecor]

great description!

[@cherylberk4593]

Well done! Just beautiful. I also have a bathroom with a black marble floor and I love it. I think it hides a lot, no problems with dust. Great job and very clever use of space.❤️

[@chezvudecor]

I think variation in marble helps hide it much better than straight up black. I wish I could redo it!

[@ritamaher9192]

Your home is so lovely. I love all of the Parisian accents!!!

[@chezvudecor]

merci!

[@Denise-dv3ps]

Omigosh I love this so much I had to watch it again & I'll probably keep coming back to it, but I do agree that you have to live in your space so not to worry about the resale and pieces of furniture should be used however you want ( the buffet) I currently live in a very small space; it's just a room in a house that I rent from a friend and amazingly, even though I moved in sight unseen, everything I have fits beautifully so I managed to create a tiny little studio complete with living sleeping dining & " kitchen" area , lol, but I said all that to say this: I'm always looking for design ideas and inspiration and this apartment definitely fills that bill so thank you for having me along ; I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@chezvudecor]

yes! thank you for sharing your story

[@annjohnson8437]

I've always wanted navy blue cabinets with brass hardware! Love this apartment! 💙

[@BONNIEJOYOSBORN]

You are amazing ‼️ I love also the flowers on the dress ! But I always love black wallpaper with huge flowers in bathroom . The sofa and dog on sofa tell us a story ... Everything in your apartment is so well thought out, that dressing room is absolute perfection..

[@MzMBC-v5i]

Beautiful! Creative, practical and elegant.

[@MrsJoannaG]

What a beautiful cozy home ❤

[@SilviaFigueroa-n1o]

Beautifully done! I love how you designed with your heart and my dear your story is definitely told. Live happily in your East Coast Parisian home.👏💐❤️

[@chesapeake8588]

Outstanding design and execution! I love her aesthetic and French theme.

[@conniepleasantnails]

Wowzer for sure. The apartment starts off as a special space and the design and decor are truly the icing. So good. ✨

[@craftyShirleyG]

You completely nailed the French theme-I love it .

[@chezvudecor]

The blue of your kitchen cabinets is also the Cuisinart Appliance Night Blue. I bought their appliances in this color. It’s beautiful.

[@chezvudecor]

Thank you!

[@heidibee501]

You have made your space look rich, yet inviting. It is elegant, beautifully coordinated and it tells your story eloquently. Thanks for the tip on living in the space prior to decorating. It makes perfect sense.

[@chezvudecor]

Thank you for this lovely comment.

[@jacquelynhammond7834]

I absolutely love this apartment, it’s so sophisticated and classy and it’s given me so many ideas for my own place ❤

[@chezvudecor]

so happy to hear!

[@user-es9mb8wi3m]

You nailed the style. Very pretty. I love the glassware, too. One suggestion; drop the uptalk. You are a professional woman, very talented. Uptalk is college speak. It has to go now.

[@chezvudecor]

Doing my best, but as you can imagine it's difficult with 30 years of habit. Thank you for the compliments though.

[@lizw3988]

This tour of your living space is so inspiring for me. Well done. I'm already thinking about how I can make my space more reflective of me.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Nicely done. You can’t go wrong when you add details like moulding.

[@chezvudecor]

couldn't agree more!

[@susannegiesen2114]

I have seen this apartment before in another channel. So nice!

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

That is amazing, truly. I could actually live with those cabinet colors. Cozy and elegant at the same time. Better than some architectural digest/celeb designs I've seen. A lot better.

[@chezvudecor]

what a compliment! thank you!

[@biasanto]

I love parisiense style. It’s classic and beautiful! Loved this so Much!!

An amazing transformation.

[@teresalouro1615]

Love the apartment. I totally agree live in your space before renovating and secondly do it up as you like it, not necessarily for resale value!
