Real Housewives – Jill’s Apartment
So I hate to be a bitch, BUT WTF is up with Jill’s apartment. First of all, I have been inside that apartment. My friend lives in the same line of the building. While not small, it DOES NOT warrant that level of overdone psychosis! What the hell are they thinking, those mirrors, that cabinetry?!? BRAD has slapped different levels of turquoise stingray or ribbons on every wall! Every square inch of that place is covered in Stuff. Seriously, they took a perfectly normal kitchen and wallpapered the glass inserts in the cabinetry. Yowsa.
The only room I actually liked was the daughter’s room. The blue and white squares were charming.
Someone help these people. And BTW, if I ever see this apt in Elle Decor or any other publication other than US Weekly, I will cancel my subscription. I can’t find that many photos yet, but here are some:
Oh, and I forgot to add, the New York Times panned this season because they are so out of touch with the current economic climate. And I quote:
“Money is the only currency: the status markers understood by a huge faction of the privileged class figure not at all in the “Real Housewives” universe. Here there is no premium placed on education or refined tastes, and a businesswoman is someone who makes cuff bracelets at her kitchen table. The whole enterprise, like so much else on Bravo, the “affluencer” network, feels like a moldy leftover from the pre-Obama age; the currently fashionable values — humility, intelligence, restraint, style — are eclipsed by money-grubbing witlessness and big-carbon-footprint living.”
Try re-watching Sex & the City reruns and especially the movie. It feels like a totally different city than the one we live in.

I completely agree. That apt was the most offensive thing that I have ever seen. I think Brad gives interior design a very BAD name.

This apartment is totally horiffic. I think the whole thing should be taken apart and redone. It is NOT midcentury modern, it is blue whorehouse. I feel that Jill made a big mistake in allowing Brad freedom to do this monstrosity without any oversight. It is not only overdone, tasteless, but garish and filled with bad reproductions. It is a disgrace to call Brad a designer. This is like a bad set of the Sopranos, or the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Wallpaper on cabinets????? And all that ugly stenciling. It is a great thing to show young upcoming designers on what NOT TO DO!

The condo is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overdone and doesn’t feel at all homey and comfortable. It looks like WOW I would feel not right touching ANYTHING IN THERE!!
Where did the mirrored initial tables come from?
I think they are vintage.
UMMMMMMMMMMMM – the condo IS overdone.
But, those STUPID Initials are NOT vintage, nor do they look vintage, LOL. They are available through Kravet.
i’m so confused by danielle’s daughters. they look identical yet nothing like their mother. i wonder if they look like danielle before all the surgeries….. i’m so curious!!
