Tasteful Friends: Inside Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent's California Dream House

If everywhere Nate lives is his "dream home," why doesn't he stay in any of them longer than a year or so?

Ka-Weens!

Nate makes me gag... & I don't mean that "in the good way". Have had dealings w/him, very ill mannered pompous twit.

ZERO BULGE IN THOSE JEANS

iSad

Oscar Wilde died for this banal shit? Think about it. When did gays become so dull and pointless? Well, it could be worse I suppose. At least they're log cabin Republicunts.

At least they're NOT log cabin Republicunts - I meant to type. Internet connection is very poor in Fag Heaven.

That gorgeous house would be the perfect setting for two very grisly murders.

LOL R7

This is why they hate us.

The only bulge is Nate's stomach. Children are no excuse to get fat.

Nate has got to be a grower, as he was very "active" in Chicago, and many trustworthy sources claim he was really hung; one had actually described him as a small tripod.

Nate at R11. The only thing growing are Nate's jowls.

Cringe Queens

Looks very Nate Berkus, drab drab drab and boring!

Nate used to look hung, too. Very bulgeful once.

He sucked his way through each and every bathhouse, bookstore, Tearoom, etc. He also is -allegedly-able to unhinge his lower jaw or something. Friend said it made a strange popping sound, and then he throated him. Can't stand this creep, but he sure did get around Chicago!

This is why I hate them.

How rich are they?

Why don't annoying people not know when to close the fucking curtain and shut up? He's vilified on gay sites all the time, his shitty show was cancelled, his midget boyfriend defines desperation just shut up, close the door, enjoy your money, and perhaps reflect why you both come across as insufferable douches (and stop dressing like you're 20)

Not quite sure, but when he was first starting out I met him VERY young, and he already owned his own firm, and drove an expensive BMW M3 Convertible. Born into a small fortune was what I was once told.

Which one is the bottom?

Gay men prattling on about 'the things' they have.

What a tired cliché.

At least Ricky Martin and husband were savvy enough to look sexy while they prattled on about 'the things' they have.

SPOT ON R23...., He's even more insufferable in person! Thinks he's G-d's gift to us all. Rude as hell to shop clerks, waiters, etc. Entitled scum of the earth. No one I know who was with him ever said he bottomed, just oral.

The decor looked cold and depressing

Why does the bf have his pants pulled up so high?

I like the house itself, but much of their decor is far too "trendy" and wont' age well. I don't think that floor in the foyer is "fantastic," it looks like cheap faux travertine from a rental house. I'd have used a smooth polished black and white marble checkerboard. And are all the mouldings in the bathroom painted to look like faux marble? I really hate people that try to "Tuscanize" their mid-century colonial, although this is a spanish revival in LA. Probably had a beautiful bright vitriolite tile bathroom that was long gone.

Oh yes, but you don't quite understand, you see MY collection of stacked books is just more special that Your collection of stacked books because I have little brass name plates that are actually dog tags to identify the genre of each book stack, and so you see, that's why MY collection of stacked books are just more special than YOUR collection of stacked books.

A pair of pocket gays.

He simply does not know Quality. That schlock & dreck from Target was perfectly awful.

This man has all that I ever wanted. He lives my dream life.

I Could go on, and on, but so guilty of Lashon Hara, so I shall patiently wait for others to sing his praises.

R30, Why would you desire a poor reputation, and would you really enjoy treating people so shabbily?

I'd hate to be there when the laughter stops.

Books are awfully decorative...

Are they both versatile?

Cute house, cute couple. I want to find something to hate but I am sorry, bitches, if it exists, then I did not find it in that video. Maybe one of them has bad breath or tiny nipples.

They definitely have a nice life. There's no denying that.

Is he still living off Oprah money?

I Don't think money was ever his problem....R38

He must come from a monied background then?

How quickly Nate has forgotten the bf he killed during the Tsunami

[quote]He must come from a monied background then?

His mama's rich and his daddy's good-looking.

Whoever would have thought that the other guy would be shorter than nate? I didn't think it was possible.

That tsunami happened in 2004, you would hope that people can shake off the grief and move on after 14 years, wouldn't you?

Jeremiah seems nice but Nate is nauseatingly pretentious - from quoting Paolo Coelho to putting up instagram pics with his own thoughts, and they are equally deep as Coelho's like: 'An amazing closet is a great thing'.

Nate always looks like he just woke up and hasn't washed his face yet.

Berkus is just another one of Oprah's minor talents foisted upon the American public. His fake deep voice is so over the top that it's laughable.

Is his little boyfriend with the douchey hair expecting high water? Why else would he have his britches pulled up to his breasteses. Or does he suffer from some Berkus tsunami paranoia?

Nate, dongful.

He stuffed that for TV. Wasn't bothered for online video.

Well, I was never a fan of his interior designs. I think they are dull, boring and lifeless. The house looks like it’s staged for a real estate sale or just another photo op to add to his design portfolio. There’s no “wow” factor. The home is devoid of art, has no interesting furniture, no chachkas and no color! I’m not saying he has to do the Liberace number, but he could add a few interesting pieces to bring life to the place. The dining room is the worst room in that house.

Could be a cockring too R49.... He's douchebro enough to wear one for the effect. Thx mates for adding to his detractions!

It doesn't even have a mall.

Agree Philly Top. It is bland "whitebread" store-bought mass manufactured bland HGTV "style". Utterly soulless, like him.

It looks like a rehab center for the Hollywood “A” list.

Well I think Nate is cute, but what he really has going for him is his speaking voice>not a hint of gay voice.

If he has a style, it worked best in the garden/pool area ....otherwise realllllly dull. His proportions ( decorating wise) are odd too . Kinda liked the master bath; hated the entry tile. Overall remarkably dull- Larry David's TV houses have more style ( and that's saying something!)

Nate at R55 again.

I hate when people use books as a decoration prop. Especially those expensive coffee table art books that you know are never even flicked through.

It's tasteful,but also too fancy and precious for me. I don't care about that house. Why do these people keep their shoes on inside their home? It's revolting. Just gross. Especially in houses like this one? It makes me want to vomit. Do americans keep their shoes on in their home?

R59, I de-shoe in my American hm, but a transplant... 'Tis grotty though! Nate & his mate wear dress shoes sans socks, so maybe they have foot funk...

The architecture of the house is spectacular. But it is spectacular no thanks to them. The decor is nothing special and their furnishings look out of place. (Note the table in the center of the upstairs hall which they must turn sideways to walk around.) The one room they claim to have "redesigned" - the master bath - is strangely designed and doesn't look very functional.

When Nate was starting out in Chicago, his work was never considered anything special. After the boost from Oprah, he was lucky enough to surround himself with some really talented employees and they did all the heavy lifting design-wise.

I like the house, I like them, I think they look happy and they are making a life together. Y'all are so pissy.

Their little girl is cute.

Never saw him on Oprah, but the DL threads about his show were sickeningly enjoyable. It was Dead Man Walking from the pilot.

why didn't they show the enema room?

The house has no color? Fifty shades of brown...

Yeah. Nice.

Nate comes from money. Does he come for money?

Didn’t Nate date some hunk of a model after he lost the boyfriend in the tsunami? I wonder who dumped who?

R6 Maybe Foucault might have been a sick fucking pervert but he was intelligent not shallow. These two Empresses scream vapid. That is all......

R55 Bullshit he sounds like a few purses are falling out at all times. He sounds princessy deary......

Nice but where's the sling?

Did that silly looking boyfriend just get out of a concentration camp or what? He looks like he could benefit from a hamburger, or two.

Both of them have obviously worked long and hard at getting those voices as low as possible. They must have a speech therapist on retainer.

The boyfriend's body is perfectly normal. Get your eyes tested, R73.

Jeremiah at R73, fishing for compliments.

Nate Butkus is lucky. He had right connections and was championed by Oprah Winfrey. I wonder if he would have been noticed and promoted if he was not handsome. There are far more talented interior designers, both famous and not well known.

Is the daughter retarded?

This house has such marvelous potential, but NB's style sense has sucked the life out of it making even large spaces feel suffocating.

It looks like Miss Crawford's house though she would never allowed the blood to be filmed on the floor.

I love these two

I think they are both very attractive

But I’m a straight broad so I guess that explains it

They could both be horrible people overall and I wouldn't care because of what Brent said about the tree making him cry.

Wow, drag a guy much?

The gold-digger bf has a strangely shaped body.

luv reading bout bozo berkus

he makes us chuckle...

[quote] This man has all that I ever wanted.

A teeny tiny eensy weensy little body?

She's certainly not a spring chicken any longer.

Nate has a sickening sanctimoniousness about himself. It's gross.

R88 He's a white ethnic who wishes he wasn't.

Berkus is very good at nicely decorating a house, but he's horrible at decorating a home.

Most decorators do their own house up as a place to bring prospective clients to show them what they can do for them.

You're nobody until you're hated by Datalounge. Nobody, I tell you!

Is Jeremiah still cheating on him?

"We were in Italy and decided immediately to create a library...." Huh?? Wow - very inspired! Er....very underwhelming.

Who was the model Berkus dated before he married this guy?

Says Jeremiah, "Yeah, we met the deli llama when we were in Greece, so we put a Buddha statue in the back yard. It's part of the Jacuzzi - water squirts from its meaty fingers."

[quote] Says Jeremiah, "Yeah, we met the deli llama when we were in Greece,

Corned beef on rye, hold the mayo!

Any true deli llama knows mayo would not be found within a mile in any direction of corned beef.

Yeah, don't care about these self-important queens. Yawn. Just thought I would take the time to type that and post it.

Thought the Dali was a vegetarian? These two twits are really too much.

May I take your order?

I seem to remember Oprah being quoted somewhere complaining that certain people who became "stars" on her show were ungrateful. I wonder if Berkus was who she had in mind?

No. It wasn't Nate because he is not even famous. Not even almost famous ......try barely known. Or the queeny princess who everyone has forgotten.

I think that was meant to be "Dr." Phil R102.... Though I don't like defending NB.

in 5 yrs....

I don't know, the whole clip feels like pandering to fly-over fraus to make them feel edgy for getting a peek inside a gay couple's snazzy household. At least they have the Reality TV snark to make the clip a little bit entertaining. The interior design? Too bland, no real statement pieces, that really tell you something about the person, or persons, who live there (unless you count the boyfriend having a shoe fetish, which is so unique! *rollingeyes*). It's inoffensive showroom design entertaining guest who tend to judge (and be offended?) easily.

Sorry to disagree but I think they are a beautiful couple, beautiful home and beautiful daughter.

Where did that daughter come from?

Who was that woman scurrying away in the background?

indeed. theyr amazing....

Nate dated model-turned-shoe designer Brian Atwood:

Nate also dated architect-turned-perfumer Carlos Huber:

The boyfriend who died at the Tsunami:

Casual in Manhattan:

I find Nate oddly attractive. He looks like a versatile top or bossy bottom. I would let him bossy me.

Looks like Jeremiah is sporting a pair of Miss Celie's pants.

Just read thru this. About 3 comments about the actual house. Not good.

PLUS > WTF? @ R113
