I like people with loads of clothes and I´d be happy with a nice wine collection! But to me this place misses personality. It doesn´t look like a home filled with stuff that people collected over the years out of love. It comes across as a helpless attempt present loads of stuff to make the place look interesting. I had a look at the nursery. Unlike the rest of the apartment it isn´t filled with pieces that are meant to look like "creative collector´s items". Much worse, it looks like a sterile showroom. No personality, nothing unique to be seen at all. What a pity! Maria's Surprise-Filled Classic Home House Tour \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	4/12/10 4:35 PM
Lots of them seem either too rustic or a bit too cool. What a pity! 10 New York Kitchens New York Social Diary \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	4/12/10 4:24 PM
Not my cuppa tea at all. I don´t really like anything about it too much. But you can see that they put some thought and work into their home, and that is great. Scott Aly's Warehouse Conversion House Call \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	4/12/10 4:20 PM
I was following the contest online from Germany but then went travelling to places with no internet connection (what a luxury this was!), so I only found out now who won the thing. I am really surprised the contest went that way. Tastes are different... and I didn`t really LOVE any of the three windows. But I feel the winner is by far the weakest work. But maybe this is just my European point of view. I also always find the US-ElleDecoration boring/tacky and when compared to the UK edition or other European design magazines it es really uninspiring. I always get the feeling it is somehwere between Architectural Digest and a mailorder catalogue... But as I say: Tastes are different and if people liked it, then that´s okay with me.

I would never do my own house this way, but I do see how beautiful and warm it is! Great job! Kristie's Thirties Tennessee Treasure House Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	1/13/10 4:19 PM
To be honest, I find the place a little cool and not inspiring at all. It looks like a catalogue to me and not like a genuine home. I like the seperate components, but the result looks as if it was put together within a week. I like home to grow and develope. But: each to their own!

I´m afraid I agree with the last comment. The colours look to bright, not italian at all. It looks like in the 80ies, when people tried to add a mediterranean flair to their city rentals in the Europe or the US. Maybe sort of McItalia?
