apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


House Tour: Marianne Boesky's West 24th Street Apt.

We love this painting by Yoshitomo Nara with the blue striped walls.

Cool color. We've not said enough yet about the NYTimes T Magazine a few weeks back. We'll be unpacking the good bits starting today.

In honor of Fall Colors, we direct your attention to Pilar Viladas' article, Living Over The Store, which zones in on, gallery owner, Marianne Boesky's home...

Of particular note is not simply the world class modern art, but the wildly juxtaposed decors that are EDGY but work. Which is not to say that we'd live there, but the ideas are lively and unique. Enjoy!

Gorgeous home! Does anyone know where I can get the lights over the dining room table?

The branch wallpaper and gold branch mirror in the bathroom look like a fairytale!

The huge picture over the fireplace gives me the creeps, though--it's like any minute the eyes will open and be staring straight at you like something out of "The Ring". It's not the picture itself, which is cute, but its hugeness and the way it's right there dominating the space.

A little "hit you over the head" in all for me. But love the shot with the Hirst Butterflies.

This place is a dream. I've always loved that tree wallpaper, can someone ID it for me, please?

The Woods wallpaper is popular in the UK. I thought I had "found" it until I saw it in Peter Jones window display and elsewhere. I think it was at Babington until they redecorated...
