Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

There is nothing traditional about this apartment and I would love to know if it for a couple, or a single.  An apartment that size would cost a fortune in NY and looks  feminine to me. There are some pieces I like but overall no.

Love the ceilings and the paint color with the combed/cross-hatched effect.  The furnishings and flooring don't appeal to me at all.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

I love many things about this but I am not fond of the texture of the walls and color or is it wallpaper?  That's the first thing I am not fond of but overall, like it a lot.  I do not like photography or black-white artwork.  It is way tooooooooo industrial/midcentury modern and/or Scandavian.  It is just jarring to see it over this very transitional environment, or is it boho traditional?   I don't think one can put a period on it but I like it but for those two items.  I bet this designer would find lots wrong with my decor (and I do too).  I have not had it right since I started.  It always needs something added or removed, new paint or something.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

I love the apartment itself, wall colors, and fireplace with mirror.

I don't care for any of the furniture or rugs.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

I don't know what you call this design but i would not call this Phillip Thomas a designer.  The rose/pink color and blue have got to go.  The carpeting is yuck and that ottoman with the chair ==  LOL.  I would not live in this apt.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

There's a lot if beauty and interest in this room and I think it is well done.  It is not a color combination I would want in the living room, however.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

The hardwood floors are beautiful!  I prefer hardwood over any other flooring.  Wonder if the wood is the home's original?  Likely not, because of it's beautiful workmanship and pattern.

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

The overall design style is not for me but I LOVE those inlaid wood floors in the entryway and all the ceilings!!!!!

Re: MANHATTAN TRADITIONAL APARTMENT

Not much in this apartment appeals to me. I'm not a fan of the pastel colors, print mixing, artwork, and furnishings. The architecture is nice. I really like the wood floor.
