apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We most love the windows looking out at the brick wall. Such a lovely view in our opinion!

I love the open living, dining and kitchen space. The brick with the dark floors is gorgeous. The weight and scale of your furniture really works in this space.

This is such a slim "house" tour! Where's the bedroom? It leaves me wanting more. maybe I'm just nosy :)

terrific job!

i LOVE the hardwood floors! did you refinish them? if so, what stain was used? what species of wood is it - oak?

I like the tiles in the bathroom.....beyond that, seems a to have the 'dull catalog syndrome'

I disagree with you starckmad2. I don't find this home dull at all.

Lovely.

A bit disappointing for someone who hosts a "design" show on television.

I love it. I have a weakness for brick walls and hardwood floors. I'm drooling.

i can't believe that massive piece of wood table is a curbside find! it's a gem designed by nature.

I love the dark bench white chair dining table combination! it feels somehow airy and slim.

And being a Leo, i'm desperatly trying to lean art against the walls. Hopefully I will learn from your pictures...

Yeah I was clicking through and thought I'd be wowed when I saw the red door (which is pretty awesome), but most of the pics were pretty generic. The bathroom perked me up. I love the penny tiles, especillay in that color. The wall color is nice and the floors are cool. It's a large space, but manages to still feel warm. It's good design, but nothing really extraordinary.

Pure vanilla --- boring, yet classic. Too safe to be really interesting.

The apartment is impressive while at the same time it really gets under my skin. I like the attractive and cozy design, but the lot line windows and minimalism repulse me. Though the apartment has abundant handsome exposed brickwork, windows facing a brick wall are not attractive no matter how handsome the brick and woodwork surrounding them. The apartment appears devoid of personality, it's as though HGTV's "Designed to Sell" visited and forced the couple to expel all the personality and maybe some furniture from their home. Are the missing elements of personality hiding in the omitted bedroom? Is the place for sale?

Being an artist, I will never accept the disparaging current fad of leaning artwork and mirrors against walls instead of hanging them. I also don't get the postage stamp rug beneath the impressive cocktail table nor the floor pillow seating on bare floors. This space is so minimalist, it begs the question: Do these people live in this apartment or is it living space as art installation?

I'm pretty sure those dining benches are from World Market's Sourav collection--great juxtaposition with the chairs. I love that opening photo--I need those pillows!

you guys are harsh. i love kelly's place. i covet it!

It's a bit too vanilla for my tastes. I do like the red door and the 'pull' sign on it.

I think its lovely. My home is very neutral as well. My taste is very modern and simple. I design hotels for a chain that is very traditional and we use many patterns. It can be design overload. Coming home to vanilla is just right for me.

Could you please share where those tan pillows with the red Welsh looking dragons are from? I looked at Jayson but didn't see them...oh woe if they are no longer available...! Lovely home!

Really really love the coffee table.

not sure she should be charged with doing people's homes. not the best tour. sorry.

as mentioned above, Kelly and Brian were in the midst of moving when this tour was done (hence, no bedroom shots). there was a lot left to see so we wanted to capture what we could of the last days of their Chicago apartment...

thanks, All!

It's a nice house, but very generic and predictable. It reminds me of staged houses in new construction developments.

it IS a rental, so maybe they are not allowed to paint the walls. the pale colors allow for what natural light they do receive to sine all the way through the space.

the red door is great. also, the lamp on the kitchen counter is a nice touch, more warmth than overhead lighting, more interesting than a floor lamp.

Classic yawn.

Where are those awesome white moroccan-ish urns from?

I was wondering about the urns too. They are pretty.

I can't imagine why Kelly would ever let AT into her new home in LA after all the nasty claws-out comments! Thank you for letting us into your home.
