So, like I predicted last week, some publication was bound to pick this apartment up to be featured in its pages. Traditional home- the emperor has NO CLOTHES!

Last week I had to take pictures of my TV set to get some to you, now the pics are available on the Traditional Home website.

BTW- I think the editors of TH also knows that this apartment is hideous. Look at the things they chose to take pictures of. They isolated the rooms so that the idividual pictures dont look as horrific as they really are. AND they skipped the dreaded hall of mirrors. Basically, I think they just want to sell some copies of their mag, at the cost of their credibility.

As to the dreadful wall-treatment, Brad Boles, the designer, said this:

When considering how to freshen up the walls, Boles looked to Jill—her complexion, her eyes, the most flattering colors in her wardrobe. “This is where my background as a makeup artist for film and fashion comes into play,” notes the designer. “Creating a beautiful face on a woman was a natural transition to creating a sumptuous interior she looks great in. Blue-greens and teals are the most flattering colors for her.” He hired a decorative painter to update the walls with a faux shagreen finish. “He applied seven layers of paint,” recalls Jill, “and literally lived in our apartment for six weeks.”

I must stress, this apartment is only around 1600 sq ft. Which for a two bedroom apt in manhattan is a good size. But stuffing all this crap into that space really is very overwhelming, as you can tell when you saw the apartment on the show.
