Tasteful friends, Zachary Quinto wants to Welcome Us To His Home

I haven't even made it to house, I was distracted by them.

Quinto, your face is starting to look noticeably plump dear...

I like it more than maybe any other Tasteful Friends home I've seen. The individual pieces of wood furniture are what I like the most. And the location. I spent a lot of time there in my youth. with my dick hardly ever in my pants.

Preciously arranged objets d'art. It's as if no one ever actually lives there.

I can't believe North Hollywood is becoming this trendy. Dirty old North Hollywood?

It's pretty nice.

I like the dining table (Pottery Barn although I'm sure they paid more for it).

Cactii are TERRIBLE Feng Shui, always.

Wall decor is mostly terrible.

Love the steel countertops.

North of Houston, NY, dumbass

[quote]I can't believe North Hollywood is becoming this trendy. Dirty old North Hollywood?

NoHo in Manhattan, dear; which is short for "North of Houston Street."

It looks like an artisan coffee shop that sells a wide selection of vegan muffins.

Our menu is a blackboard! Please have a seat on one of our second-hand, cat urine-soaked sofas!

I can't believe r8 and r7 fell for r4 disingenuity.

[quote]the apartment’s open–floor plan alludes to the openness with which they live.

{snicker}

You're giving R4 a lot of credit R10.

I hadn't even considered [bold]that[/bold], r12.

Very tasteful, especially for New Yorkers. Usually, the apartments are cluttered denizens of rococco ornamentation.

Boring.

And i’m On the ‘hate it’ side with the Penis Face painting.

What was in the “pantry”.

Kind of boring.

I actually find a lot of these NYC homes boring. Very white everything. At least they use some darker colored walls where there are not windows, but they shouldn't have let that child scrawl all over the walls.

Something about Quinto just annoys the shit out of me.

Nice apartment. Hot boyfriend. Good for Zachary.

Nicely uncluttered and un-decorated. Quinto is sexy.

Its quite decorated. I hate carefully arranged walls of bookshelves. Really the worst. I agree about the feng shui. Otherwise, pleasant. Quinto has always been pleasantly attractive as well but boy did his face get big.

Quinto is so unusual looking.

He appeared in 2[?] comic movies playing a freak. I'm sceptical about him playing other roles and sustaining a lengthy career.

Why is he spending so much money on this extravagant indulgence?

Sad that this is "extravagant" nowadays because its the size and style of a the middle class intellectuals of the 70's.

Didn't see any window coverings. It's nice although it does seem like you're living in a large hallway.

[quote]I actually find a lot of these NYC homes boring. Very white everything.

White walls are a NYC (Manhattan?) thing, to people of a certain age, who grew up when most people rented. An apartment with white walls was a thing to aspire to in a land where few owned their housing.

He’s annoying but they seem like a cute couple.

I like a lot of it. Unless they entertain a lot, I would get rid of or greatly reduce the size of the big dining room table. Also, unless they have someone like a parent staying with them for long periods, I’d swap the study with guest room. Why reserve all that sunlight for guests?

I like the art other than the crystals. That many are a red flag.

R22 You don't get it. White walls, little or no pattern except handmade Moroccan rugs, no matched or coordinating fabrics, lack of window treatments, plain tile, with a focus on art is the epitome of the "un-decorated look. It is quite refreshing and unpretentious. It is a neutral white box for an unfussy carefully curated collection.

Obviously I also hate the adjective curated. I do get it. You don't. You don't even understand your own word salad oxymoron: unfussy carefully curated

Insipid. Like weekend rental space.

Are those of you who don't like it women?

Miles has fabulous hair.

There's something about Quinto that I just don't like.

The study is the only room that appears "decorated" and that is even a stretch. The use of the Kuba cloth and the Kuba patterns on the wall make it the most thought out, as an ethnic theme. R29 They are actual art collectors, so it is fair to use the word curated in their case. You sound like someone who just likes to argue for the sake of being a cunty contrarian! (Not to mention a Phillistine). THEY describe their pad as natural, organic, with a curated collection, take it up with them; I'm sure they would love to hear from you.

You know that Zachary HATES Miles’ fucking crystals and that if the relationship ends badly, they will be tossed onto the street with relish.

Someone needs to curate 90% of those rocks down the trash chute.

I don’t think having art makes a home “curated.” I have a lot of art. Some I purchased, some I inherited. I have more than I can display, so some is in storage. I would never call my collection “carefully” assembled. More like “randomly accumulated.”

Furthermore more R29 the art collection is curated; whereas the apartment itself is not decorated in a fussy or fustily manner. It is not an oxymoronic concept as you suggest; you moron. Learn to grasp the finer points and spend your time arguing the things that really matter.

The portrait on the wall (in the OP) looks like the love child of Finn Wittrock and Ricky Nelson.

Miles looks great naked.

Anyone who ever bought something, then decided he liked something else better, curated. Hating "curated" is a simpleton symptom.

R38 sweetie, the snark on this thread about the apartment will not support your thèse.

I like most of it. Sit on those dining room chairs for 15 minutes and you're going to want to leave. Too much form over function for me. Miles is cute.

To all above with the "curated" word: it is like artisan or bespoke, people are bored of and it has lost some essence of meaning when wrongly and overused. These blokes "aspire" to be art collectors and are investing lots of money. They also say they have a desire (some may say pretension) to learn to be better art collectors. When looked at from this lofty goal, they get a pass from me to use the word. Most young people are not learning about and collecting tapestries either, so they do seem a bit earnest in their pursuit of building a collection of sorts.

"Bloke" is boring and has lost some essence of meaning.

I love the loft if it comes with Miles.

r46 wants to cum with Miles.

Sorry R45, It's the way many British elders refer to a man, or two men... Along with chap and/or gent. Yes, Americans are much cooler with their Bros, Dudes, Guys, etc.... Too old to change the way I speak, and really don't care whichever YOU happen to prefer.

You tell them R45!

oh my

and my

Do they have tattoos?

Oh MY

R49 Cheers mate. Whyever do almost all the "Tasteful Friends" threads end up spoilt by the snarky and the bitchy mean queens? One should think this topic could bring a bit of joy to their nasty black hearts.

[quote]Cactii are TERRIBLE Feng Shui, always.

What? How so?

Oh, God. "Bitchie, meanie, queenie" is up late.

pointy. hundreds or thousands of daggers pointing at you. very bad feng shui.

[quote]hundreds or thousands of daggers pointing at you.

And what if they end up up your ass.

It doesnt look bad, but it is hard to get the lay of the apartment from the photos. THey're all cropped too tightly, and badly edited.

Should I throw out my candelabra plant?

I’d like to spend some time inside Miles.

Oh, my, yes, R60.

What possessed you to purchase such a spiky pinnacle?

Put it in your garden. If you have a HUGE house there is a place for cacti in it.

In order to bring good Feng Shui, you can place your cactus in the "fame and aspiration" quadrant of your home (the part of your home dedicated to who you are and what you what to bring to the outside world). In total, there are 9 Feng Shui quadrants and this one is located in the far back corner of the middle portion of your living space . The cactus will protect your career and reputation.

I hate the dinning seats made to look like crates, and I would hate to be stuck sitting on one. The apt is okay. I hate the rugs and I hate their fabric/upholstery choices. The master bedroom is rather sad.

r63 knows his shui.

[quote]I hate the dinning seats

What is "dinning"? I have long wondered what this bit of DLology stands for.

[quote] What is "dinning"? I have long wondered what this bit of DLology stands for.

Typo

R62, my mother had one in our kitchen when I was growing up.

We need a feng shui thread, now. My interest is piqued.

[quote]Typo

At least you didnn't (sic) exclaim, "Damned autocorrect."

So start one, R69.

Is Miles one of those freaks who believe electric magnetic energy is dangerous to you like the brother in Better Call Saul?

I have a friend who bought a crystal necklace to ward off electric magnetic waves. She can barely stand visiting me because she says my house has too much electrical magnetic waves. It seems Miles is electricity-phobic.

Is that a dining room or are they opening a preschool?

Are Zach and Miles part of the Andy Cohen/Anderson Cooper/Kelly Ripa Clique? Or are they more upscale-Hamptons with Martha Stewart and the Seinfelds? Other?

I picture Zach to have a very hairy ass crack.

Zach is getting middle age spread.

Every hair follicle on Zach is meticulously manicured, of course

how did he land Miles?

It’s a ‘So What’ apartment through and through. I’ve been in dozens of places with identical aspirations, some falling short and some exceeding them.

Aside from celebrity there isn’t a real reason to feature this in AD. But that’s always been the case. I hope they’re happy how it all looks and reads and that their friends are toasting them.

If I knew them I’d probably say ‘good job guys, you dodged a bullet - always dicey putting your lives on the line.’ Those who do know them feel free to use by mild but earnest compliment.

That first picture looks like a classroom in some elementary school.

BORING.

Those voices have been conspicuously lowered. I can picture them both having had extensive voice lessons to sound more like men.

Miles painted this too...

Well aren't they both just precious. They're so sweet I think my blood sugar is peaking.

That's neither fair nor germane to the thread R82, but believe what you will. Many of us fagelas have deep voices.

The dining room looks like a school room set for "The King & I". Do they expect adult humans to sit on apple boxes to eat?

Where does Miles get his money from? Is he a trustafarian?

I never heard of this Miles guy before. Why is he photographed walking around naked, slightly fluffed, but with no muscle tones and a skinny adolescent chest? Does he have a following in the pedo community?

Not the Chinese lacquer boxes, again. AD has OCD about CLB.

Who is the bottom?

R14 "Gets it".

It looks awfully uncomfortable.

I like the bedroom. The rest of it is just meh.

Miles is, or was, allegedly a model.

I like it, but too many crystals and Knick knacks.

Zachary’s home tour video.

I like them more now.

I found myself liking Miles after watching R96. Before, he was sort of a cypher.

In each room they led us through, I just kept imagining them fucking everywhere: on that big table, in the lounge chair, in the tub...

Miles is pretty adorbs.

Soothing, flow well, and some good pieces, but throw in some macrame, beanbag chairs, ficus, ferns and Chia Pets, and it's the 70s all over again.

It looks like an apartment above a bar in Lambertville New Jersey.

I thought it was a CB2 store with a classroom theme.

God that husband is hot AF. Lucky Zachary.

The forbidden secrets of the "pantry" are that its a custom man-scaping salon that converts to a s/m playroom.

That gigantic Japanese painting in their hallway (of an alien-like grey creature with a leaking/bleeding vagina) is disgusting AF. It might look ‘interesting’ in a gallery where you can view it once, but not on a daily basis in one’s home. Can you imagine being confronted with that alien vagina image every time you walk to and from the bedroom?!

Quinto says he “completely fell in love with it”. What does that say about him? Just cringy taste? Or well-hidden pathological dark side?

Bleeding vages add to the "unfussiness" as well as the sly references to lesbian collective restaurant decor.

The background story was Miles the trustafarian was to become an art star and stumbled into modelling and couldn't refuse. So does he have his studio elsewhere? Miles. don't neglect to build your career so your own money rolls in, especially if your trust isn't very generous. Surely they are reading us old cunts.Congratulations you two, we are snarky but big fans.

r105 well, he did eat all those brains in Heroes

Could there possibly be enough storage space for their collection of white sneakers?

Ugly & odd. R9 was spot on.

I know an older couple from South Africa, and this is roughly what their condo looks like, but even they have nicer furniture and keep the South African tapestries and art displayed more tastefully. The bathroom is fucking hideous. For 3.2 mil, you can't drywall over those pipes? And what is with the Hilton / Holiday Inn glass they "added" in the mater bedroom? Dear god. I am surprised they didn't do bamboo shutters do go with their quasi-African Safari-Hollister theme.

Stainless steel counters scratch & develop a patina with use - but these just look like a mess (likely cheaper steel) rather than restaurant quality.

Hideous taste... unless he was African...which he is not. So, he doesn't know how to mix and display the work properly.

And crystals don't absorb energy from TVs, morons. If you even believe in their properties, they interact with the energy in humans and other living things.

The word R85, is "feygele"

r110 if it's truly energy, they don't consider the source, r110.

I think it's amusing that someone is suggesting that Quinto is some sort of flash in the pan success. Even if he never makes a film again, he could have stage career forever.

I've known a few people who are into the whole "healing crystals with positive energy" stuff. They do enough drugs and alcohol on the weekends to kill a horse, but they love their crystals and new-agey healing and positive energy stuff.

[quote]Even if he never makes a film again, he could have stage career forever.

A stage career doesn't support a high-flying Manhattan lifestyle. You need movie or tv $$$ to maintain that.

Quinto always looks cross-eyed to me. I can't understand how he's managed to score two cute boyfriends, Groff and McMillan.

Miles is so hot, I'm depressed now.

R112 TV's don't need love, so you wouldn't put rose quartz around them. They don't need general cleansing, so you wouldn't put crystal quartz around them. They don't need motivation, so you wouldn't put tiger's eye next to a TV... and so on...

Get it now? The phrase "absorbing energy" is apparently not descriptive enough.

And btw, it's all made up.

But some are pretty.

[quote] can't understand how he's managed to score two cute boyfriends, Groff and McMillan.

see the monster cock painted in r83.

Aawww, they are so cute together.

Is the artist the girl?

Sweethearts:

Imagine away:

[quote] A stage career doesn't support a high-flying Manhattan lifestyle. You need movie or tv $$$ to maintain that.

Do they really live a high-flying Manhattan lifestyle though. It looks like they have a two bedroom apartment in Noho that they probably own.

He's always seemed very smart/intellectual to me. I can't quite imagine what he and Jonathan Groff ever talked about.

BTW is the painting in R83 really a painting by Miles?

It's interesting that he always goes after guys much younger than him. Groff was younger, Miles is younger.

I really need Devon Greene to do a voiceover of the link at R96 ala "Welcome to my Home."

That would be fab.

Sorry. Deven Green.

I am a good speller unless it comes to names.

Sorry, Deven! You are fabulous!

The home is every bit as pretentious as he is.

I'm actually surprised this place is in AD. I've seen dozens of apartments like this.

It’s in AD because they are celebrities.

If you are cast in a big budget sci-fi movie franchise, AD will come calling.

Well, AD standards have certainly fallen.

R101 and R102 win the bitchery award

My french ex-boyfriend tricked with Quinto and reported a "correcte" cock. The French are so Racinian and discreet! It means - within the norm.

R110 - bravo, "A" for top snark. Thank you.

They are a hot and cute and lovable seeming couple.

Certain aspects of it I really really like.

It's a cute apartment but I think they'll need more room when they start having babies

It's pretty obvious that in his previous life Miles was a girl named Crystal.

To me the wallpaper in the study looks like a Keith Haring knock off. And it's apparently done by Kelly Wearstler who I actually respect. So I am dumbfounded that she's doing shit like this.

They seem a bit too precious with their eclectic taste and obsession with womblike comfort and relaxation (which doesn't translate into a comfy seating area in the living room, apparently). But I do give them credit for making a statement even it it's a precious, New Age feel good kind of statement. Good for them, and yeah I'd take a guy like Miles McMillan and give him all the space he needs for his crystals, Feng Shui knick knacks, and his artistic expression (I do like the painting in the living room). Hell yeah!

I love Miles. So hot, so comfortable in his own skin. Lovely naked body.

Quinto did a fashion editorial a few years ago in a gritty Soho loft setting, or aesthetic. He looked at home.

You know, white washed brick, cruddy floors, arty arty 70's.

Miles, an artiste, and Quinto, graduate of Art, Drama and Engineering Powerhouse CMU, they know for the aesthetic of Downtown Artist.

I would have guessed their abode would reflect Factory glam references, and perhaps even in Brooklyn, with water and skyline views, high ceilings, walls of windows, industrial furnishing mixed repurposed dumpster trash and classic high-priced 20thC pieces, and large scale art works.

I am surprised by the bland and tiny-scale bourgeois affects, here. OCD arranged shelves, crystals, tiny framed artworks?

Well, whatever.

"Cop" Chloe Sevigny had better art direction of her improbable Pittsburgh loft, in Those Who Kill

nice space, generic "rich hipsters" decòr, Quinto has a face that could stop a clock, the BF looks 15.

No, the BF looks 13.

Pectus Excavatum, not PC to make fun of that, and it doesn't hurt his looks.

R147 PC is for people who need to be told what to think.

It is the worst religion of all.

Have at it then, 'tard. Nitpick beautiful men for their little irregularities. MOLES!!!

Quinto seems like someone who screams during sex, and not in a good way.

Boyfriend dude is hot as asphalt in August, but Quinto I yecccch.

The skinny boyfriend's tubercular chest is quite similar to Vivien Leigh's tubercular chest.

except this has nothing to do with tuberculosis numbnuts

[quote] It's an ok, yet uninspiring apartment but I think they'll need more room when they start buying babies.

FTFY, R139.

$3.2 mil doesn't get you endless amounts of space in NoHo, does it? The boyfriend is pretty. It's really nice, it's great.. I get they were going for open and clean. Wouldn't have said it has a ton of personality.

I don't much like the wood benches at the dining table. Not into them in a cafe, not into them in a home. And the crystals... One is cool, a few is fine, even a bunch is great. The idea of checking out crystals is totally fine... but maybe you start wondering who your boyfriend is with that many...

hmmm maybe he is..... vapid?

They look happy together. Hopefully they’ll break up soon.

The crates arranged around the dining table scream "We're the only two people who eat here." Having them there otherwise makes it look like they sit shiva on the regular.

Zachary has a nice ass.

I like them as a pair, and IMO ZQ is better looking (but not really more attractive since I like bottoms)

I remember when a DL poster a few years ago claimed to live on Zachary's block in LA and said Zach and Jonathan Groff would get into screaming matches all the time. He sounds like a chore.

Is the painting in [R83] of ZQ stroking a Louisville Slugger actually part of their home decor? That's not really the sort of thing you can leave out when Mom comes to visit.

Has the look of an apartment in two dozen Woody Allen movies.

Do you sense tension between them or is just the bizzaro factor of having a film crew in your home?

Quinto is brimming with diseases. I hope the photographer wore a hazmat suit.

[quote] From AD's video. McMillan: “And I feel like when we have people over, people tend to really go to the kitchen.”

[quote] Quinto: “Always”.

[quote] McMillan: “Always, even though we have a beautiful sitting area, which you guys all saw”.

Gee, what a head-scratcher! They wonder why that happens? Why don’t guests stay in their “beautiful ‘sitting’ area” and “always” escape to the kitchen?

Hint: Maybe it’s because adult people don’t want to sit on their freakin’ elementary school classroom chairs!

We explained this up thread. The cactus. Bad Feng Shui

You guys realize this is just AD saying “look at this normal attractive gay couple in 2018” playing house and being “normal.” Which I don’t really have a problem with - but come on - there is nothing special about this apartment other than they are gay and semi-famous. If this was a straight couple it would never be in here.

That being said, seems like a decent place and they seem decent enough, albeit pretentious AF.

r168 if they name-dropped a single brand, PRETENTIOUUUUSSS..

"Please sit on our Pierce-Vardan retro Metropolitan stool. It was hand textured with Tibetan yak fur! We picked up the set while we were freeing the baby seals from captivity in Botswana."

The guests go to the kitchen because they need (stiff alcoholic ) drinks.

[quote] Quinto: “And this is our powder room which we re-did. And we wanted to be [italic]whimsical[/italic] about it. So we put all these photographs of icons in there, just staring straight at the camera. So when you go in to pee –

[quote] McMillan: “Picasso’s looking at you.”

[quote] Quinto: “Yeah, everybody’s looking at you.”

The ‘powder room’ (a.k.a. toilet room) looks like smthg badly copied from a high-end restaurant or nightclub. Dimly lit tiny room with cliché, over-used B&W photos of dead celebs popularized by pop-art (Warhol, Hepburn, Picasso, Bowie). This has, unfortunately, become boring boilerplate decor for all modern apartments. If I see another image of Hepburn in a modern studio, I’ll despair at the lack of creativity.

I’m intrigued by Quinto’s definition of ‘whimsical’. To me, it’s just creepy and distracting – images of people (all dead ones at that) staring at you, on a daily basis, in a tiny, dark room, as you take a dump.

I would need a few stiff drinks to listen to Quinto.

Don't forget the constant danger of him eating your brain, too.

^I do like the aesthetic look of the wood-like paneling in the sink, though. (I imagine it’s wood, but could be a more sturdy, hygienic material made to resemble wood?). Very Japanese – and ties in thematically with that big-ass, horror-inducing Japanese painting outside the toilet.

The poster copy in his study is of the Precisionist-style painting "I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold" by Charles Demuth. While I love that painting, it's become a cliché staple of modern apartments as well.

That poster is to urban hipster creatives what Klimt's "The Kiss" is to college students. The latter is plastered everywhere in college dorms. Same goes for the former - just when those college kids grow up and get an ad exec assistant job in Manhattan.

For 2 touted artists, Quinto and McMillan seem a bit thin on outside-the-box creativity in their home. From their combined creative partnership, I was expecting smthg very original and avant-garde (besides that ghoulish Japanese thing). It could be minimalist even, and still very unique. But so far - disappointingly mostly very cliché decor.

Is Miles a trophy/kept situation or not? Maybe not I am just wondering.

[quote] Is Miles a trophy/kept situation or not? Maybe not I am just wondering.

I don't think Miles is contributing financially to any of this, so, yeah.

This is the Izumi Kato painting that Quinto “completely fell in love with”.

When people described it as 'bleeding, leaking alien vagina' - they sure weren't exaggerating. Oy vey.

[quote] You guys realize this is just AD saying “look at this normal attractive gay couple in 2018” playing house and being “normal.”

Whoa. Chip on your shoulder, much?

If they were indeed just "normal" they wouldn't be featured in AD. Quinto being a celebrity is the reason they are featured. It's ridiculous that AD has some supposed devious and condescending agenda to "normalize" "normal" gays. It's about celebrity culture first and foremost. I mean they also covered Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent's home. And yeah, these days there are openly gay celebrities.

[quote]Is Miles a trophy/kept situation or not? Maybe not I am just wondering.

Miles is from a filthy rich La Jolla family.

r178, yikes. That's some scary shit. To me It's only a few brush strokes away from scary clown art.

Quinto's gayness really shows when he talks about the book opening to Judi Densh and Helen Mirren.

[quote] Miles is from a filthy rich La Jolla family.

Well, at least he'll have something to fall back on when the relationship is over.

[quote]Quinto's gayness really shows when he talks about the book opening to Judi Densh and Helen Mirren.

Yes. And I like it.

R184 I do too. I find Zachary so adorable. Miles is a lucky guy.

You bitches never disappoint when it comes to the "Tasteful Friends" threads!

Michael K from Dlisted throws his usual shade:

[quote] Zachary Quinto and his model boyfriend Miles McMillan gave Architectural Digest a tour of their crystal den in NYC. Tweakers, calm down, I don’t mean they live in a meth den. I mean they’re into actual crystals. Like they’re you’re New Age-ey Aunt Suze who reads auras, self-published a novel about her actual past lives on Amazon, and has a dildo-looking crystal next to her bed that she swears isn’t a dildo. ZQ and his pretty-faced model man have one of those too….

Isn't Architectural Digest a relationship killer?

Is it just me or does Quinto try desperately to suck in his belly and fails in the clip?

[quote] Miles is a lucky guy.

I know. To be able to feast on Zach's hairy ass every night must be Heaven.

I'd say Zach is lucky. Finding someone young, cute and rich isn't easy.

[quote] "Crystal den"

Lol! Yep, that's the Oxford dictionary phrase I was looking for to fittingly describe their place. Very apropos.

[quote] Like they’re you’re New Age-ey Aunt Suze...

Dlisted editorial team's high-caliber grammar skills never disappoint.

[quote]Is it just me or does Quinto try desperately to suck in his belly and fails in the clip?

Girl is getting to be a little chunky monkey.

The study / work room looks so claustrophobic. Agree with the poster above who suggested switching its location with the guest bedroom (which has windows & natural light).

But maybe Quinto likes small, dark & claustrophobic places. Perhaps it speaks to his dark, brooding soul or smthg. On top of that, in that same work room he has the (1) ashes of his cat, (2) ashes of his dog, (3) fur of his dead dog, (4) original watercolor Rorschachs (watercolor ink-blots used for psychological tests, often to detect underlying thought disorder).

Individually all that can be fine. But when you combine it all together: [bold]nightmarish Japanese painting in hallway; huge prickly cactus in living room; small, dark, window-less workroom with cremated ashes and framed ink-blots; dark, tiny toilet with photos of famous dead people staring at you…[/bold] Who wants to bet Quinto has a hidden dark side?

It wouldn’t surprise me if Quinto had museum-grade human bones stored in zip-lock bags in that pantry, which he didn’t let AD journalists see.

^Actually the tall painting / photo opposite the Japanese painting does look like an X-ray of a bone.

And what’s with that Police Mugshot that was framed in their hallway? The report says the smirking guy was arrested for "larceny". Well, that actually works with the overall intimidating, creepy theme of Quinto’s place.

The Japanese artist is from the Spirit Cooking school of painting.

I think Izumi Kato belongs to the voodoo school of art...

I thought the No. 5 print, the bathroom celebrity photos and the mugshots were tacky too

More Kato. Little dead creature with a funeral lily flower...

It's a bit Grim Fandango.

Would you prefer :

"Dominic West's Cozy and Colorful London Home"?

(I don't know how to link on phones).

More scary-ass Kato. Maybe all Tasteful Friends can pitch in and send one to Zach and Miles as a house-warming gift. Quinto seems to love 'em.

Miles' paintings would look better in frames.

[quote] The study / work room looks so claustrophobic. Agree with the poster above who suggested switching its location with the guest bedroom (which has windows & natural light). But maybe Quinto likes small, dark & claustrophobic places. Perhaps it speaks to his dark, brooding soul or smthg.

Quinto explained that he and the boyfriend wanted it to be a "womb" like space. They are fond of "womb" like spaces.

I applaud them for staying true to one leitmotif theme. The "womb-like" space actually works well opposite the leaky vulva painting.

Though maybe Quinto's being shrewd and collecting them, simply in the hope of projected future enhanced value.

Sotheby's apparently sold this ghastly monster-child by Kato (Untitled 2009) for over $14k.

He should be buying Warhols.

It’s a penis face.

Did someone mention me?

He should be promoting his artist-husband's work more (instead of his own scary taste in art).

But I bet Quinto doesn't want Miles to get too independent. Because if a young-ish artist with model looks like Miles also becomes world-famous & extravagantly rich - there's a risk he won't need Quinto anymore.

At best, they would then have a Tom Ford-Richard Buckley marriage. Respectful, but very arms-length.

[quote]Because if a young-ish artist with model looks like Miles also becomes world-famous & extravagantly rich

Have you seen his art? That's not a possibility.

I'd rather hang Miles' paintings on my wall than any of that scary Izumi Kato shit.

Miles will look much more handsome when he gets older and puts weight on. All I can picture now is him with his skinny bird legs in the air while he's getting fucked. Miles is definitely the lucky one to have such a hot, hairy Daddy like Zach.

[quote] I'd rather hang Miles' paintings on my wall than any of that scary Izumi Kato shit.

Me too.

[quote] McMillan: I lie on the [bathroom] floor sometimes. It's nice - it's like cold, but warm.

Miles comes across like a sweet golden retriever. Makes silly oxymoronic statements. Has 50+ 'energy-absorbing' crystals littering the whole flat. Yep, he's a male model to the core. Many fashion models are exactly like that: silly and trendily (but only vaguely) new-age spiritual. Quinto is probably intellectually exasperated with him at times. But I'm sure the hot sex helps.

That doesn't have any pleasant views. All the windows look straight into other windows, and vice versa. Not much privacy. Probably not a lot of daytime sunshine either.

*That loft

The kitchen shelves are packed with useless ceramic decorations. I guess they don't cook much. Or maybe they just hastily stuffed all their kitchen gear into the pantry (which was off-limits for AD) & under the steel worktop right before the AD journalist arrived - to make the space appear more bare and minimalistic.

And where are the clothes wardrobes / walk-in closet? It doesn't look like they have a lot of storage space. Certainly not enough for an ex-Hollywood actor's fashionable wardrobe.

I never understood the appeal of a home that looks more like a showroom than a place anyone lives. Where are all the bookcases full of books or a kitchen full of kitchenware? No personal or family photos. No pets. Boring.

r215 that was actually my first thought. For that kind of money I'd want views, if I weren't living in a townhouse.

Does Miles sell any of his artwork?

[quote] I do like the aesthetic look of the wood-like paneling in the sink, though.

Unfamiliar with this and maybe if I saw this done in other contexts. My instant thought though was 'restaurant'.

Serious Thespian:

Giving Timothée Chalamet a run for his money:

Miles is cute enough but I don't see the blinding hotness that others here see.

I was trying to concentrate on the wacky, self-absorbed, over-indulged decor, but could see only this...

Miles has child-bearing hips.

[quote]That doesn't have any pleasant views. All the windows look straight into other windows, and vice versa.

Welcome to NY, 85% of all apartments are like that unless you are really high up or on each waterfront.

Quinto can likely afford a flat facing one of the parks or at least a square, R227. He’s not your regular Manhattanite.

I bet it’s not that he didn’t have better apartment options with nicer views. It’s that he apparently likes “cacoon”-like enclosed spaces. This is evident from the fact that out of 2 available rooms for his study (one a bright, airy, larger room with windows; the other a tiny, window-less bunker cell), he chose the cell.

Maybe he sees it as a trial apartment with the lover and his money is invested otherwise.

not very personal but its done well.

I have my dog's ashes on my mantel but I didn't keep any of her fur.

Isn’t he one of those...you know...Italians?

He's actually mostly Irish, if you can believe it.

R152 R226 I can't decide if Miles has a tubercular chest or child-bearing hips.

Either way, I'm surprised he didn't veto those unflattering pictures.

Perhaps the current generation actually like men having womanly hips. Current aesthetics seem to be in the toilet.

I love the apartment. The minimal modern look is totally my style and sensibility. I would change out some of the art though...and get rid of some crystals. A little excessive, Miles.

I bet every struggling artist or creative who has ever ventured to NYC with hopes of making it has dreamt of owning an apartment like that someday.

Totally jelly, I admit. Those two queens are lucky as fuck.

R235. Luck had nothing to so with it. I suspect both of them sucked a lot of cock to get where they are today.

JFC, that mid-tier apartment inspires envy? Maybe if one’s from a poor background struggling to even pay rent on a studio.

Gerard Butler’s Manhattan loft is more envy-inducing. Not the decor (it’s like a scary Scottish castle from a Brontë novel). But the amount of open space and high cityscape window views. Now that’s aspirational.

Actor Gerard Butler worked with architect Alexander Gorlin and film designer Elvis Restaino on his 3,300-square-foot loft in New York City

Oh yes I'll take Gerard Butler's loft over Qunto's place. The decor isn't exactly my taste, but that's a lovely space.

Butler's loft is gorgeous. The decor works with it, although I'd probably go a little less frilly/gold.

Only Trump fits in more chandeliers per square foot.

r241 great comment. If you added a few chandeliers to it, it'd be perfect!

I wonder if Kevin Spacey had his eye on either of these boys.

Neither of them are all that, so probably not. There's hotter ass to be had!

Butler’s place is the ultimate Scottish bachelor’s man-cave. It’s so Highlander. Besides a home theater, he even has a wall rack for his hats.

I’m amused by how they put an ironic little plate of breakfast with a few daintily sprinkled berries on top - on his big-ass, medieval dining table (“thick & heavy”, they describe it).

I bet he has lots of sex with his “thick & heavy” cock on all those worn leather armchairs...

[quinto] ZQ has major gayface

So does Kevin Spacey.

r246 he has a bit, but he doesn't have the longish chin that makes it "major" gayface

For a contrast....would you live in

"Dominic West’s Cozy and Colorful London Home"?

Ew, no. "Colorful" = cheap

R249 is Nate “Neutrals” Berkus.

I like the home at r248, it feels like an actual living space instead of a staged show off display.

Gerarld Butler's place? The first thing that popped into my head was pompous. The space feels too big and too open for my taste. It feels like you can stand in one place and see / observe everything.

I like it. It has been staged for the photo shoot though. That's always done.

I worked for the editor of Vogue Living for many years and learned exactly how these shoots are done. They arrive with the photographer and an Interior Designer and a big truck with lots of extra pieces of small furniture (chairs, tables, lamps), books, plants, flowers, vases, cushions, throws, artwork, decorations etc. from a current "look" they are peddling in the magazine and the owners approve/veto and usually get to keep many of the items as a reward. Quite a nice way to get your home decorated actually. I got a shit load of stuff from these shoots myself. It's usually high end designer - the good stuff.

So whether that's their actual decorating style is doubtful. Nice though, although we didn't get to see much of the apartment.

I wonder if Zachary fucks Miles on that table.

I wonder how many people fuck Miles on that table.

R252 they showed the 2 bedrooms, the 2 bathrooms, the living room/dining room, the study, and the kitchen. What do you mean when you say we didn’t get to see much of the apartment. And the major pieces of furniture is obviously theirs, the artwork is obviously theirs, the books and crystals are theirs. I don’t doubt that the photographers had to shift some things around a bit, to photograph. However, I doubt that they added much of anything.

I wonder what celebrities the Quintos invite over for dinner.

[quote]Oh yes I'll take Gerard Butler's loft over Qunto's place.

Ew, god no. The decor is hideous and looks like a hodgepodge of various different decor styles all thrown together with no cohesiveness. The only thing I would keep in that loft is Gerard Butler.

R248...beautiful space. A little too cluttered for me--would definitely need to simplify it--but the space is gorgeous. I would KILL for that atrium/dining area. I love lots of windows that bring in tons of natural light.

Ditch the pretentious ceiling and it will do:

Christopher Meloni's place has a great view

I guess New York is filled with millionaire actors who are on the 8000 TV series sharted out every year. And some bankers. And money laundering furiners.

Seeing them together, I'm thinking that Quinto's claim of being 6'2" isn't true.

[quote] For a contrast....would you live in "Dominic West’s Cozy and Colorful London Home"?

Maybe, but I'd rather live in Dominic West's cozy and colorful London ass.

r257 if you read my post you'd see that the decor is not really my taste, but the loft itself is lovely.

My God, I want to get in front of the Architectural Digest website people so badly. This is a DESIGN publication focused on VISUALS, yet their slide show carousels display photos that are TINY. UGHHGHGHGHGHHGHGH

And obnoxious trust fund assholes. Yes, that's basically Manhattan in a nutshell these days.
