apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

its a little too much for me- but i could do it. i think i would leave out the 80s art photo and the satin comforter. but i love the splash of yellow!

Anybody know what paint color (s) she uses? My little sister loves the pink in her retail stores and wants it in her room! I remember reading it in an old design mag but I forget which one!

Everybody sing with me: nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhoea, hey Pepto-bismol!

The light fixture above the coffee table reminds me of her hair!

I love the chandelier in the first picture. That's about it.

I'm painting my living room pink in two weeks, as it might be the last time I can get away with it... ever!

In the first photo, the slat benches won my sympathy..

Haven't I seen Betsey Johnson in interviews on TV or something? And wasn't she rather delightful? Seems like that's what I remember, and I think this looks like just the kind of place where she'd live a fun life. I think it looks great.

Better pink than white, any day.

I have the magazine, and the pink is nicer than what it looks like online -- definitely not pepto-bismol! It is actually a very fun pink, and I for one, love the pink satin quilt on her bed, and the pink womb chair... (and love what she has done to a Maly bed).

I painted the living room walls of my first apartment pink too -- they were fun! GOOD LUCK JuliaL!!!

Isn't that Betsey Johnson above the bed?

wow, I've wondered what her home looks like. I love the dining room. I need to get the magazine!

Yup, that's Betsey Johnson herself above the bed, not an 80's art photo. Well, not a RANDOM 80's art photo!

And Curtis, yes, she is all ABOUT being fun, she's in her late 50's (or maybe 60's?) now, and she still does her signature cartwheel down the end of the runway after her shows. She's done this for EVERY runway show she's had! Oh and she still has crazy coloured random hair extensions.

Ok actually I'm a bit surprised her apartment not more over the top than it is. Got to love her for going full force with what she loves!

Hmmm...let me think about it....NO!!!

I love Betsey and have passed my "vintage" Betsey dresses on to daughters who look better in them. We always step into the BJ store to revel in Betsey when we visit the city.

Super Fab. Love her.

If you want it...it's yours. She's been trying to unload this place for a long long very long time

Love Betsey, and love this place FOR Betsey, but... for me? Thanks anyway - I'll pass.

i think this is totally fug coming from betsey johnson!!! i didn't expect PINK. i expected PUNK! dammit.

It looks like fun, but it's Betsey that makes me think that. In any other context? No way.

Her place in Mexico, though, I LOVE. I think it was featured in one of the mags a while back.

I think I dated a boy with an apartment like this once. Yeah...it didnt work out.

...and does anyone else notice the sewage pipe running slightly right of center in the first picture? Classy.

IdRatherBeDesigning: I'm not sure if this is the colour Betsey actually used in her apartment, but I just read on Casapinka (http://casapinka.typepad.com/casapinka/2008/03/betsey-johnson.html) that she recommends a pink called Springtime Bloom by Benjamin Moore, and it looks pretty similar!
