Greenwich Village

I love Jeremiah and Nate. They are one of my OTPs and I love their sense of style. And I thought it would be interesting to juxtapose their house (and design style) to the places we've seen lately here on the blog. For one, it's a much more distilled and precise view of what home decor means and also, it's a showcase of what good taste and money can get you. For those who like space, here's one for you. I do not know how big this one is, but it's bigger than some of the places we have seen here. 

I know Upton calls this Home Porn? Decor Porn? (I like it when Upton baptizes things) but I just love seeing how these men live. It's inspo and a little bit of hot goss. Inspo because even when we do not intend it, there are things in other people's houses we really like and end up adapting them to our own spaces. I also like these videos because it feels like we have been invited to a place we've never been to and that is not a place like our friends' or our own. And I love having people telling me details about their homes when I visit. Everybody's got a cool/interesting story to tell about their abodes.

Now can you imagine what you could get if you and your husband would both work with renovations and design? Well, here you can see how their styles came together (which is something I'd love to have in my place if I lived with someone) and the look and feel a living space would have if someone who knows what they're doing would have a hand in it. They DO know what they're doing (Maddie would probably be with me here) and their design decisions are smart and well thought. And they look GOOD. Sometimes there's things I would not do (I like comfy furniture, like in their family room) but some things? I'd go for it in a second.

If you know me, you know I can't really cook. But in this kitchen? Holy shit. I'd take a cooking course just so I can use this fab space. I also love the family room, because it looks like you could relax there. But I really, really like their bedroom. It's comfy, spacious, serene and the wallpaper (I'm not for wallpaper, but really!) is fab. A total mood. And all the space they have? This is when I could understand some people's desire for space in their homes. That bedroom is bigger than most apartments I lived in when I was in college.

And those closets? I'd probably faint. THAT'S the life. That's what money can give you. And I cackled with the 'I have shoes older than...' joke. I can relate. I really think that one of the things that having money provides is the capacity to have beautiful things AND the time to enjoy them. Time is something that money CAN buy. That's what I think we kind of feel we want when we talk about 'having money': it's not the capacity to buy outrageous things, but the time that we would have to enjoy them leisurely. Time is very, very expensive. 

Oh, I also love the his/his bathroom, btw. I like the intimacy of both of us shaving in the morning. It's a mood. Yes. Sometimes domesticity can be pretty, too.

XOXO
