Joan Rivers' beautiful New York home...

I'll try again since the Q is causing me grief signing in to post. I know most of you have probably seen the photos of her home that just sold. But for those who might not have seen them, Yahoo just put this up on their news site because of the recent sale. I will attempt to post the link here. The home certainly was filled with treasures and I think was exquisite.

I've seen the photos in the past, and that place is spectacular. Prime NYC real estate, spacious, elegant, in the heart of the city. I can see why it was $28 million.

Oh, gosh. I'm sorry, but that is so over the top that I'm at a loss for words. I enjoyed our tour of Versailles, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to live there.

It truly does look more like a museum than a home. She could still have had the same style (not at all my fave, but hey) but just much, much more with an eye to restrained elegance.

I really enjoyed joan, when she was alive. I am sorry but I do not find her home beautiful at all. It does not looked lived in to me. I would be very uncomfortable in this type of environment for any length of time.

Fabulous! Joan had a casual room just to relax in. Must have cost a fortune for up keep and fees. Drapes are magnificent. The whole apartment is sublime.

It's very opulent.

Magnificent . . . but a little short of "homey."

Love Joan, love her taste in clothes but her home looks like a lovely place to visit but without hardly a spot that looks like anyone's home. Evidently, she loved it, so that makes me happy. I do miss her.

It's incredibly stunning but I'd be afraid to touch anything. Who bought it?

I saw a sort-of documentary once narrated by Joan about this home. She decorated it to jive with the taste of the former owner, who she said was haunting the home. Apparently the ghost was happy with how Joan made it look.

Joan was a glamorous woman. Of course she liked to live in glamorous surroundings. She worked hard all of her life. She deserved her luxury. It was the ballroom of lovely old building. I am sure someone bought it who likes to entertain. No photo's of kitchen etc. It also had location, location, location. David Dangle is a lovely gracious man who represents Joan's brand very well. But I still miss Joan Rivers on QVC and Fashion Police.

Def not my taste. It looks too "old" and overdone

I felt like I was walking around a museum-like home...expecting to see the red velvet ropes at every corner...

Very opulent. Climbing those stairs as she got along in age, would've been difficult. Maybe there was an elevator installed. I often wondered before her passing, when she was presenting on QVC, why they never gave her a chair instead of having her stand for her shows. She looked tired at times.

I did love the way she color coordinated her personal clothing. Though I didn't purchase many of her pins/brooches, she had a knack for style.

This was too over the top and gaudy for me.

I liked her Connecticut home much better.
