Today, take a look at two designers' approach to the Nurse Jackie show. The first is a waiting room replete with thematically relevant pill bottles as wall art and IV bags as a lounge chair accessory! In the second Nurse Jackie setting, a master bedroom unnervingly approaches a hospital room in its stark, antiseptic style.

Californication is a show where modesty plays a minor role. Similarly, the over the top sex den with stunning views of downtown Manhattan is not afraid to expose its secrets.

There are a ton of rooms to look at from this week's tour as well as last week's, but if you want the whole experience, live and in person, head down to Tribeca for a visit. All ticket proceeds go to Housing Works.

Well, there sure is a lot to comment on here. A few things didn't float my boat but overall I love it! The living room is great. Love the fabric on the sofa, the beakers and glass are awesome! The roses didn't come out much in the photograph, but they save the room from being another "bowl of cereal" nothing but beige and brown nightmare I see a lot lately... the kind of rooms that make you ponder what the middle of South Dakota looks like. I'm still trying to figure out the med lab... put together well, though. But that neon sign. It's as if Jim Belushi and Bill Murray's brother came home drunk and decorated a little space. Really ick. But, I may be missing something. I often do...lol

Oh, and I want that meshy chair really badly. And I want to throw a few purple or red things in the living room as well... small but needed. I like a few dried pomegranates in a dish or bowl. 'Nuff said.

ehm... no. I don't even know what Nurse Jackie is, it just seems a little over the top- unless that's what they're going for? I love the use of medical supplies, I'm all for it, I just don't get why every room has to be that theme? oh well...

This is a world of its own. When people achieve transforming you to another dimension like that I am always impressed.

I wouldn't do the same thing in my home, but I really like a lot of the concepts and would use those in my home. For example the pill bottle wall installation.

I'm a fan of Damien Hirst's Pharmacy...so I see the sometimes sinister beauty of this space.

by the way I've not seen the show. but I kinda want to now.

i love that use of shelving- it's enough to really put your small items on display and not overcrowd the space. nice.

If this reflects its owner for real, then thumbs up. Personally, I'd feel like I'd live in a non-stop installation and also think I'd grow tired of the medical stuff fairly fast since it's my profession. There's a contemporary edge to the flat, though, that fascinates me a lot.

@dunklekatze: Nurse Jackie is an American tv series.

Cartoonish. So many things, some wonderful, ala Mouille, but lost in the garish chaos. I still think good design is not to just throw money at it, but EDIT. And I do think quality high-end pieces are sometimes worth all that saving.
