Nicole Gibbons of the stylish interior design blog So Haute and our Nicole's So Haute Home House Tour penned a story for The Home Observer about an Upper East Side apartment that feels more like Paris than New York.
Designer Elizabeth Bauer created the temporary pad for a client whose permanent home is undergoing renovation, so perhaps she wanted something fun and bold in the interim. We love the bright colors, luxurious textures, and smart spatial planning in this space, and hope her future apartment maintains the same amount of personality.
We also can't wait to see many more stories like this from Nicole!
Check it out in The Home Observer.

Paris? Nope. Dallas in the 80's.
But I like the green wall with the pictures on it.
I am afraid I love Dallas in the 1980's. My youth revisited. Great Space!
@Dulcibella big LOL!
This doesn't look like Paris at all.
It reminds me of the house where Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone lived in the film Casino.
You beat me to it -- this room is pure Dallas.
Using the word "haute" in a blog with that wallpaper is LOL-worthy.
That wallpaper makes me cringe. And then its reflected in all the mirrors. Gawd help us.
How does she clean that carpet?
oh wow.... and not in a good way.
Does anyone know what kind of rug that is?
The rug is albino wookie.
To parody Lloyd Bentson to Dan Quayle referencing JFK in 1988 VP debate:
I know Paris.
Paris was my friend.
You, my dear, are not Paris.
I am getting a spooky "yet another overpriced, overdone temporary crash pad for the Family Goop" vibe from this. Anyone else?
I take it back-- the guilty party is I.D.'d in the full article.
Granny wallpaper is not haute. However, the light fixture over the bed now...
Some people have never been outside the Crate and Barrel BOX. This is a beautiful space. Love it!
i'm not getting paris, but i'm hardly versed all versions of parisian style. i do think it is fun, energetic and feminine. the flokati looks heavenly but i shed hair at all times. it would not be fun contantly vacuuming dark strands.
the armchairs and sofas are both great. and i think the wallpaper is much better close up than it reads in a fuzzy thumbnail.
I suppose if you have to live somewhere temporarily while your home is being renovated, then you may as well go gaudy and kitsch and have some fun with it.
But seriously, who hires a decorator to makeover the place in which they're forced to live while their real home is being redecorated? Was the client Marie frickin' Antoinette?
@Bandwagon-
OK, that's funny.
