Well if he used a designer, than wouldn't picking out wallpaper technically be DIY?

*then*

I am not going to become part of the snarky crowd.

Even though the place is mostly not my style...I love the kitchen and the artwork. And that he decorated with his best friend in mind.

Let's look at the most important fact - that dog is ridiculously, awesomely cute. Come on, just look at those widdle eyebrows and feel any negative feelings dissolve in a big "awwww...."

kid? isn't he about 31 or so? i'm often told i'm young looking, but this guy is in ralph macchio's league.

I really like the look of Chad's home! It's clean and classic, but not over the top which is saying a lot since he sells million dollar homes for a living. He could have easily over decorated but instead, he decided to keep it simple. I also love how he created a pet-friendly living space. PS - LOVE the art!

i like the D*face print in the living room...Other than that I'm pretty uninspired

J'adore! Looks solid Chad !

Based on his photo, I have to wonder why a 12 year old would have his own condo.

This looks like an open house in an unoccupied space he's got up for sale instead of somewhere someone actually lives every day. Sure, it's nice, clean, and contemporary, but there's nothing warm and inviting to make it a home aside from the adorable Starla. Chad's good at staging open houses & it shows in the style he chooses for his own home. Unfortunately it feels staged, generic, and superficial; moreso than a lived-in space should be. I'd like to see him let his hair get mussed up, temper the must-be-stylish drive, and relax a little.

There is tons of natural light, and the furnishings look comfortable and liveable. I don't understand why some of the commenters are saying that it doesn't look lived-in, wouldn't you clean up your place if it was going to be in AT??

I've seen the show and can understand why the attitude could rub people the wrong way, however...it's just a House Tour. It's not like AT announced that Chad will be the new editor-in-chief and it will be a subscription only of $99 a year. We're just looking at his home.

I love the wallpaper in the bathroom, the dining area and the bookcase in the living room.

I like to see lot's of different people's homes. From unknown and on a budget to rich and famous. Even infamous. Hey AT, how about a tour of famous gangsters homes, that would be interesting.

Great point modernguy! I also like your idea of featuring gangsters homes - that really would be interesting.

AT isn't ReadyMade OR Elle Decor -- its supposed to be somewhere in the middle in my opinion, and I would say this place fits well.

i've got bieber fever! ah hem...sorry. yes, there are some cool pieces in this house for sure so i give the DECORATOR props there. i like the canvas painting in his bedroom.

Miss Starla is charming and I love her pink bed atop Chad's. Like seeing pet-friendly housing, as I'm mom to four of Starla's relatives.

Some of you guys are making too much about his looks, instead of some good critiques about the space. I think it is well designed on the whole with lots of art which makes it more personal. However, in the bedroom, I feel the bed is overall too big for that wall, blocking some of the windows on either side. A low sleek bed with perhaps a nice textured wall hanging between the two windows would work better.

Lacks any consistent idea or image of who or what the owner is about. The trim around the windows looks 1980's hotel lobby-ish. And I don't get any sense of post-modernism, which per the owner's bio, is his "style".

@ mjr

He said he chose and hung the wallpaper in the powder room. To me, that's enough PITA work to qualify as diy.

I <3 your puppeh.

i like the pop of red in dining area and i agree w/ chad...powder room wallpaper is hot.

just watched the show this season and was so disappointed. the new guy is a dumb ass. even though a lil cheesy sometimes--in the sweetest way---chad was always a stand up guy and honest seller who seemed to want the best for his clients. cant say the same for the new dude- what a lack of character. all the best to you chad and keep up the great work with your clients!

For a bachelor pad, it's very glamorous! Love the light fixtures! Love it!

Thanks for showing us Chad's home. I miss him already. Wish they'd bring him back.

Love the place. It's modern and bright. The kitchen is great. Good job Chad. It certainly shows you're a man with class.

I've never been a fan of stained wood window surrounds in a house of this style. Or houses of most styles.

I've never heard of Chad before reading this article and I've never watched Bravo.

I'd live here in a heartbeat - it's beautiful and relaxing and spotlessly clean.

Super love the banquette and Starla is adorable!!

Does he have thousand-year-old fossils in his house?

This does not look like the home of a young man.

Wait, this guy has a blow dry toilet? Love the powder room, though.

Like seeing pet-friendly housing, as I'm mom to four of Starla's relatives.

madampince, you're not a mom to a bunch of dogs. Children are adopted. Dogs are owned. Confusing this issue is demeaning to our species.

As for the apartment, it's nice but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of personal items (other than the dog). It doesn't look like he spends a lot of time there.

However I do like the pizzazz of the glam powder room.

I am actually--- and somewhat surprised--- to see such a great piece of art hanging as is shown on his wall with a work created by Judith Supine. Judith Supine! Fantastic!

I think this tour needs to be taken in context. Chad is a real estate agent who is/was in a property-listings reality show. Of course you would expect his house tour to be presented in a manner appropriate to who he is professionally.

I love Chad's house for its elegance, and contrary to what some have said, there is plenty of individuality to be seen even just from his choice of art. That dining table set-up is gorgeous. My only criticism is that the sofa appears too close for a TV of that size (or that the TV appears too high for the sofa), but it could just be a photo-angle thing.

Nice one, Chad.

Gawker? Oh wait, it's Apartment Therapy.

Didn't most of us get to our own style by a system of trial and error; inheriting furniture from relatives, making furniture out of milk crates/cynder blocks/palettes/plywood, buying crap furniture, mixing stuff up, figuring out who we are and then investing in more and more good pieces? Then you can have a home that you can be proud of, that reflects your personality and that makes people go "wow!" for the right reasons. You still gotta do the work to have "style", even if you can afford a decorator. Just not feeling it here.

When you stage your house for sale, you are told to remove all "personal" objects like pictures so that the potential buyers can see themselves in your home. That is exactly what his place feels like. It makes me wonder if he enjoys showing his friends his home more than he enjoys living in it. And that makes me sad.

I'm in love with your pottery collection.

Give the guy a break. He's an extremely hard worker in a very hard line of work in this economy. His home is very nice, and as he lives there more, he will add bits and pieces of "him"......very nice, Chad.

"Now that Chad has sold millions of luxury real estate"

Hehe. Millions of what? Am I reading this wrong?

I wish my biggest home embarrassment was a toto toilet!

I have to admit opened to see the chihuahua - so cute. It's obvious this guy cares more about his comfort and style than all the fads of each year.

I never thought I'd see STARLA in an Apartment Therapy house tour!! STARLA!!! I'm obsessed with that dog.

The decor isn't my style, but so what? This place is very Chad, and that's what matters. Anyone who's seen him individually bagging every item that goes in his suitcase knows this guy is a neatnik and a perfectionist, and given his profession, this is a space that suits him perfectly.

But more importantly...STARLA!!!!

It looks like a McMansion in a suburb!

It's cute but something is missing. Color on the walls, maybe?

Mainly I just want to say that Chad, I was really disappointed to see that you and Starla didn't return to Million Dollar Listing :(

He looks a little like Paul Dano in "Little Miss Sunshine" in that picture.

He's cute but I find the apartment boring. Nice finishes but no life.

I have a serious case of patio envy!

Right there with ya Chad- "neat as a pin" pad with special spots for the pooch! Love it all! ...Except for the white kitchen floor, but white kitchen floors keep us thin, don't they?! And, I first saw you on Bloomberg, not Bravo! Kudos Chad!

Love the postage stamp artwork, the bed, and the toilet paper holder. Not to mention that the powder room is so delightful. Such cool things collaborate to form an awesome home!

http://chiclittleme.blogspot.com

How can I not love a home that is so pet-friendly? I especially like that he has dog stairs propped up against the couch so that Starla can climb up easily. Overall, a nice pad for a guy and his adorable little dog!

I first starting watching the show because they had a marathon on TV. But what I am really shocked because as cute as Starla is she was his girlfriends dog. Now that I see this beautiful condo, the spread and no mention of his girlfriend I worry he did the unthinkable and broke up with her and took Starla. His girlfriend put up with so much of his crap. To think that she may have been used to get her dog makes me sad. Now I am not saying that is what happened but with the way he pressured her. I hope that they are ok.

@dirce79

My comment was actually a response to a couple of snarky posts that have since been removed by AT. I was defending him.

I don't think it looks staged. I actually take time and work pretty hard to keep my home looking nice and AT-Tour ready. So, maybe he doesn't have family photos around making it "personal," but he has things HE LIKES. Given a bit more storage (like in Chad's house), my house would look this fabulous and you wouldn't see coloring books laying about. Give it a break. If you were a professional, you'd style your house to look this good too.

ALSO - Blandwagon - I am a mother, but I also have pets. I don't love my pets as much as my daughter, but you better believe I'd risk myself to save them in a fire. Pet-parents are just as attached as some human-parents. My childless friends truly do love their pets as children.

Why do people have to be so negative about another person's lifestyle or word choices? Aren't we all here to look at pretty homes and get neat ideas for our own homes? Not to judge each other's lives. We are each equally human on this planet; you have no more right than anyone else to decide what another person should do, say, have, etc. Get over yourselves.

Starla is so cute. I'd carry her in my bag everywhere with me, dress her up, and set a place at the table with me. And I typically like HUGE dogs and/or cats. She is fantastic.

I never heard of long-haired chihuahuas until recently--so cute!

I have been a Realtor and a designer in LA for the past 11 years. Chad is one of the most professional and nice guys in the biz. Which is VERY rare in LA. He has really good taste.

I love Million Dollar Listing, and Chad has always brought tons of entertainment!

I really like the place... especially the kitchen.

I'm ok with the fact that there's not a lot of personalized stuff because I prefer a clean look myself.

@mjr

My apologies for the misunderstanding. Thanks for the clarification!

I love Chad but his place is rather cold and store bought, no personality what so ever.

looks like a poser pad

... and what's with the window trim?

I really like it.

To be more specific, I love the artwork/couch area, the red banquette in the dining area, and the fact that he made a doggie restroom area pretty darn cute. The dog is adorable!

I've been watching MDL because of the real estate. Wow! Really enjoyed Chad's house tour. The red banquet is terrific and I really like the wallpaper he chose for the powder room.

well it looks like a showroom you can be organized but this space feels very distant ......cold!, no warmth except for that cute Starla are you sure Chad this interior is you?

@Blandwagon

I think people calling pets their children is the least you need to worry about when speaking of our species demeaning themselves...

Demeaning to our species are the actions our blessed, large brained, species chooses to make everyday.

I think you should find an issue that truly means something.

That said...
The condo was, appropriately enough, a little bland. Perhaps he doesn't spend much time here...The kitchen looks abandoned.
I love the touches of colour and the living aids for the tiny dog.

I liked this more than I would've expected since I loathed him on the show. (*On the show.* A TV show. Never met him in real life and probably never will.)

Does he karate-chop his own pillows 3x a day like he did when prepping his listings for an open house? ;-)

Oh, and AT, please fix the title of this post, "Chad Roger's Modern..." His name is Chad Rogers, not Chad Roger.

WHY do we need to see this!!!

worst house tour ever!!!

Cake...?

Very cute dog! The apartment in the other hand. Maybe he should have consulted that other Bravo guy, Jeff Lewis, Filpping out. He might have thing or two to say about this.

I enjoy the glam throwback of the powder room, but that's pretty much it. I agree that it feels contrived & think it lacks personality.

I <3 Starla!

* I love Starla :)

CrowNology, thanks for the defense. I'm a mom to a 30-year-old human daughter as well as my four rescue chihuahuas, and she considers herself in good company (along with her child, Scarlett the lab mix).

Killer photo of Starla with toys in front of the fireplace. My two favorite places pictured in the tour were the dining area and the balcony.

I've always wanted to have some banquette-like seating. I'm curious how well that works. Source for those seats? (Though with kids the glass table is out...)

It appears that to state your opinion is OK as long as someone has the delete button handy. So much for free speech on AP. kind of disappointing wouldn't you say or is that a no no too?.

I want a bamboo wall on my patio! :(

love the patio!

I don't really like the house that much. It reminds me of a hotel, not a home. But I do like some of the pendant lighting in the kitchen and living room. And the dog is very cute :-)

While some people may have opinions of how Chad represented himself on the show... it should not reflect your opinion or constructive criticism of his home...

he looks waaaaaaaaay younger than 33...18 tops in that shot

I have no idea who this dude is or his dog. He seems to be well known....

I like his digs, but it's not for me. Way too polished for my taste.

(my first AT comment ever! yay!)

Rad pad, Chad! Could you share info about the Warhol stamp art. I have a sheet of these stamps and have long wanted to find a way to display them.
Starla is such a lovely name.

not impressed... sorry AT :P looks like he has lots of money and not a ton of creativity.

Dear haters,
I am one of you!
Ned some Summer's Eve just to cope.

Though I liked him on the TV show, I do not want to smell his cake on AT. Really.

I love the recessed lighting in these photos. So modern! Reminds me of these fixtures: http://www.affordablelamps.com/recessed-lighting.html

nice place but the dog definitely stole the show. You could place that dog in Stalin's palace and it would STILL steal the show.
