Tasteful Friends; Rug On The Wall!

Fuck!

You are correct, OP: based on the link you provided they don’t show a bar.

It's...very studied.

Too studied for me me, and I like calculation. Everything is designed for the photoshoot, the angle, the vantage, none of which I mind except that there's nothing more to it than that.

It looks like an Swedish remote vacation home designed by very strict Japanese architects and inhabited, for a few weeks a year by, say, Alexander Skarsgård's character in 'Secession.'

The bedrooms are cozier, less showy, and more successful. I would contemplate (fleetingly) pushing someone down a stairs for the 17th Century unfinished Portuguese tapestry. It's superb. The rest of the house is nice enough.

One thing I dislike (which I'm sure the designers would defend to death) are the use of differently colored timbers at the ceilings, some dark brown, others bright as an orange tabby.

The identification in the text of the designer of every atom of the place is as exhausting as I have seen in ages.

*"Succession"

You could film a remake of Woody Allen's "Interiors" here...so cold and austere. It's beautiful, in a way, but not comfortable looking.

Totally lacking in hygge.

A gobsmacking rich blonde "human rights lawyer" buys a Vineyard house and decorates it to the 9th degree and calls Vogue.

I didn't need to know this about Seth Meyers, who I generally like and don't find too pretentious.

Its very.... blah. And brown, but despite that still manages to be cold. The only thing that stands out to me is that antique cabinet, that is beautiful. Everything else looks like some midrange interior design store in a mall. Although as R3 says, the bedrooms are a bit nicer

[quote]The secretary style cabines is now a bar stocked with Gucci stirrup cups Alexi collected.

Have to admit, I'm kinda judging Seth now.

Wonder what kind of jokes Samberg and the like make about this kind of stuff.

How rough-hewn wood became a thing is beyond me.

That presentation is a dirt attractor and the dust and dirt are impossible to clean without a pressure hose.

Which, looking at this pretentious hovel, sounds like a good idea.

Color!

Homey

I like the porch but needs a couple ceiling fans and screens (but maybe MV doesn’t have mosquitoes?)

That is one ugly cabines, whatever the fuck that is.

I gather color is still considered evil.

I liked the storage space for firewood right under the fireplace. I have no idea if that's a good idea, but it seems practical.

They have some color in the bedrooms, so you know they actually like it. They just want a “neutral” look in the public rooms. Misguided.

Dreary.

It cries out for yards and yards of ball fringe.

I like how it’s not like so many other articles detailing celebrities’ homes: Joe Shmoe lamps on a Bill Smith table, next to a Jane Doe couch, with a locally sourced Bob Jones quilt, atop a Phil X plush carpet purchased from Jacqueline Onassis’s estate.

And I looooove Seth.

"... use of differently colored timbers at the ceilings, some dark..."

They're Rescue Timbers!

I like the textiles.

So it’s not actually a post and beam / timber frame structure? It’s just decorative appliqué beams? I don’t like that.

First of all, I don’t understand the intro to OP’s linked article:

“When my wife saw it, she cried because it was so beautiful. And then she turned to me and said the sweetest thing: ‘Try not to touch anything,’” writes Seth Meyers of his Ashe Leandro-designed home…

WHY would Seth find it “sweet” that his wife told him to keep his paws off everything???

Second, all this time I thought DL had certified that Seth was a big old homosexual. Instead he’s a big old closet case?

Third, why does he deserve all of this luxury? He’s never been particularly funny and he’s not a good interviewer.

It was a joke, you autistic fuck

That oyster painting whets my appetite!
