Oh, Mr. Fodor....!
Ok, so to collect pieces that belong to a specific time period and have them around your home and still not have your place look like a movie set requires skill. And I can see that here. Also, I love the idea of using art as a way to balance out that feeling we have when we live in an apartment that's basically white (I feel him). Smart.
I love so many things about this apartment that I could not start telling you about them all. So I'm just gonna let you watch...
XOXO
P.S. I could listen to him talk all day long...

ReplyDeleteVery nice apartment and he uses the space well. I do have a question: If the bedroom was actually the living room of the next door apartment, the original apartment didn’t have a bedroom? Wow that would have been very inconvenient.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
I have no idea about that bedroom next door. LOL
DeleteI think many condo owners have done that. I have a friend whose neighbor literally tore down a wall between two apartments and now has a four room apartment. It's fab, BTW.
XOXO
I don't like white walls. They're easily painted. So, if I were him, instead of living in a "big white box," I'd paint it.
ReplyDeleteLove white walls here.
DeletePainted/wallpapered walls would look extremely busy (I have a ton of shit, that's probably why I really like neutral walls). The big white box is convenient when you have this kind of artwork.
XOXO
I like the idea of collections of things you like; not just art or knick-knacks that you bought for no real reason. Most of the things in our house have a story; paintings done by friends; things collected on travels; it makes everything feel homier and lived in and ours.

Same.
DeleteWell, also I don't have money for 'real' art, so there's that.
This apartment is very nicely set up and I love that unit int the bedroom!
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteIt's a very well-done space. I'm with him on the white walls and lettting everything else bring the color. Quite large for NYC. Whatever became of the next apartment? Turned into a studio? And his WAS a studio? He was a bit annoying in his narration ("This is the living room, we use it as out main living space." - I never would've guessed. Rather the same with the bathroom. The "uh" every few words make me a little nuts when people are being "interviewed." Gawd, I'm picky this morning! LOL.)
XOXO
Same.
DeleteWhen having very striking pieces, it's better to let them shine.
And the other apartment probably became a two bedroom? I have no idea. I think they did gain a lot with that extra room, though...
XOXO
I enjoyed this home tour -- I'm mid-century modern too!
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteOhhh that's why you're stylish!
XOXO
And you know I swear by apartment living, and he proves that Apartments do not have to be boring.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteI think it's kinda easier to set up an apartment than a whole house, but yeah. I feel you.
XOXO
I like the colors and the tone. Too much stuff. But it's great stuff. I can't imagine being so focused. I mean, my place looks like a thrift store by comparison. Oh, people with taste, class and money. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors.
DeleteAnd it IS great stuff, so there's that. I think people who collect really good pieces do it both for aesthetic and practical reasons.
And you know Mads and I have offered to take on your place, Upton! LOL
XOXO
