apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The US Federal Reserve recently announced that this sort of extravagant decadence is officially now passe.

Holy cow! This one looks like Vegas Regency!

Massive Liza?! Gooorgeous.

yep... if nothing else, love the liza. and i don't even really care for her, but that pic is gorgeous.

Wow! Not a huge fan of the Hollywood Regency look, but that Liza picture is something else.

Unabashed, over-the-top exuberance is always "in." For those who can pull it off. And those who can't.... well,... they can't.

HOLY CRAP. a big picture of Liza??? When can I move in?!

Decadent, yes. Gorgeous, no.

Ugh, not for my taste at all.

made me itch from across the aisle...flocati rug and a deep velvet sofa. not my modern.

and then the liza (no celebrity porn in my house) and the liberace throw (really can't be comfortable).....sorry but no.

What an elgant and soft design. Love it, love it, love it. Reminds me of my SF therapy office.. though not as luxurious. i think this is the url: therapy San Francisco

more like 80's cocaine fueled tackiness than hollywood glamour.

Okay, that is just too awesome. As a Liza fan, I would love to live there.

Sorry. This is like an old lady's Miami Beach apartment.

Thank God the Liza photo is great and large because it just captures your eye and imagination, so you don't have to gag on the rest of it. A drugged night at the "Limelight" in NYC back then. Mostly bad taste is a horrible thing.

I love the pic of young Liza.

Oh, no matter what you think of the style per se, it's just scrumptiously gorgeoso. If a friend of mine owned it, I'd be jonesing to visit all the time to wallow in it.

PS

What's up with that stunning [mirror? metal?) sideboard? Anybody know where that's from?

awesome!

If the Fed doesn't kill Hollywood Regency, rooms like this will.

Anyone else notice the huge "Liza" emblazoned on the coffee table? Is this one of her living rooms or something? Egads. I hope so because if this is some fan's/stalker's place I'd be even more mortified.

oops, never mind, I see it's an installation. nevermiiiind...

This room makes me want to look around for the mirror and the credit card, and I don't even do drugs.

And here's what's on the stereo...

Long live Lucille Oscero!!

This really isn't Hollywood Regency - This is Studio 54 Glitz.

This is classic Hollywood Regency:

superfly, you are hysterical!

This is an extreme version of it, but I really love some touches of hollywood regency mixed with modern and then splashed with a little victoriana - but haven't quite figured out how to make it work.....but I love things like an iron bed, combined with crisp linens and mirrored side tables....white sofa with flokati rug and so on....hm. Anyway, nice pic to keep in mind, but a little over the top for me!

The funny thing is that Liza place was done by her friend Halston, with custom designed furniture, and, of course, Warhols everywhere.
