Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent's share their new NYC apartment

It's very......white.

Why isn't this a tasteful friends?

"Tasteful" is understood.

Those bathtub walls are what madness looks like

Naughty Poppy! No jammy fingers on the Benjamin Moore walls! You're a dirty, dirty little girl! Now go to your room and look at the picture of the spiky tree. Think about how we found you under it. And how we could have left you there.

I see he went for youth in a bf. And here I thought he liked Asian boys.

I saw Nate in a Cheesecake Factory about 8 years ago. He had gotten rather portly. He's slimmed down again

The slide show won't go past the first page.

The bathroom is awful. The rest is serviceable.

Not my taste at all. Also not at all babyproofed, or even accommodating to a baby/toddler.

Poppy is their daughter, via subrogate

Finally, bros are good for something!

Quite the shoe fetish they have.

It's incredibly dull. But the shoe collection, JESUS!

I swear I went into the wrong profession. Instead of being independent, I should have just hooked up with some daddy when I first moved to the city, spent a decade with him and gotten out with a settlement before I turned 30. But no, I was gonna BE SOMETHING.

do you think he cries whenever he steps into that bathtub, remembering THE WAVE THAT CHANGED HIS LIFE

OP, ever hear of mortgages and tax deductions. Probably one huge business expense for this decorator and everything in it.

I've also noticed that usually when celebs have their hones featured in magazines it is a prelude to a sale.

And Brent is already having sex with others. I guess "open marriage" is a thing now.

I like it. But it's rather telling that their dressing room looks bigger than their daughter's bedroom and that was the shoe section.

Poppy? Has he become a heroin dealer or something?

"heroin dealer", "open marriage" .. it seem that there are a lot of fans here!!!

That shoe collection screams gay stereotypes.

How much will that place list for? Any guesses?

How do you know that, R16?

Lol @ the shoe closet.

I love the bathroom.

But in all, it’s kind of cold, sterile, anonymous. A real downer.

You’re awful awful awful, r14, but I admit I lol’d.

Gurl that hair, Nate. The quote “the higher the hair, the closer to God” only applies to good southern women. You, on the other hand, are an eldergay now. Get a fucking proper haircut.

Berkus has some nice sheets at Target. I bought a set for my bed and everyone comments what a beaute my bed is now

R6 - “I saw Nate in a Cheesecake Factory 8 years ago.”

I always knew Nate was trash but now we all know you’re garbage as well. I’ll die never having been into that tragic bourgeoisie “restaurant.”

Alex, I’ll take people who have things they don’t deserve for 600.

Nate is fucking disgusting. I enjoyed him to a point and thought he was cute, until around the time Oprah jumped the shark with her cathartic interviews and Nate came on to talk about his dead lover and dramatically cry about it, he used that dead guy to further his career.

This thread is old. Die.

All that money and they cant afford socks.

Not to be crass, but did Nate get a huge insurance settlement after loosing his partner in the Tsunami?

Nate is one of those Trustfund Baby gays, who is insanely entitled and acts like they did it all on their own, like Andy Cohen. They’re usually vicious snakes.

If he hadn't loosed him he might still be alive!!!

He’s a sociopath.

The dead partner was born in 1965, he’d be 56 now. Nate is 49. Nate would have traded him in by now, tsunami or not.

R28 have a heart. I know you don’t bother to even learn the names of the guys who fuck you, but we aren’t all like you.

“Tsunami or Not” just happens to be the title of his forthcoming memoir.

Lol r37. You bitches are mean... and I’m going to hell for laughing.

Oh god, I got entrapped into posting in a 2015 Troll bump thread! Since I already have and this is old, is this what Anderson and Andy aspired too, but couldn’t find a partner to put up with their shit and decided to just go straight to the surrogacy part?

Seldom has a designer with so little talent and creativity gone so far, all thanks to a chance encounter with O. His work up until then was pretty pedestrian and few other designers in Chicago even knew his name. After business picked up due to his connection with O, he hired some talented staff designers who did the bulk of the creative work. It is really their work that got all the press originally. All of them eventually left NB and started their own design firms. NB now tends to repeat himself design-wise and doesn't do anything new and creative. He licenses his name to manufacturers who design their products in-house with little or no input from NB. His PR team makes sure his name resurfaces every few months to stay relevant.

What would make you post a crazy thing like that?

My, my, my who is this mysterious O who can not be named?

Nate is a joke in the design community. No degree or certification, so he's a decorator; not a designer. His work is done by others. Sold his business a few years ago to the real workers.

Knew him back in the day and dealt with his poor, harried, talented designers, who also hated him.

When he was 25 he was the most beautiful boy in person. Deep blue eyes you could swim in. Boring vanilla personality, boring design aesthetic, and boring vanilla sex (I've heard) except he did have a foot fetish, hence the no socks and tons of shoes.

[quote] My, my, my who is this mysterious O who can not be named?

Oprah.

shower tiling is pretty rad

Defacto is the 2015 bump troll, might possibly be in a time warp and actually posting from 2015.

R44 Oh, didn’t know his backstory. She doesn’t seem like a style icon people would be interested in following.

I saw the AD video several years ago and actually their home very much.

Did they get Poppy into a good preschool?

Two Rosebuds and a Poppy

R50 Oh, so the foot fetish isn’t the only one huh?

Why do so many gay white men look so generic?

He can decorate like mad, but can't look in the mirror and say "my hair and my husband's hair looks foolish"?

I get the feeling Nate's voice is a carefully developed & maintained affectation.

R53 but he can’t decorate, Darling.

R54 he’s from the OC. Definitely. He’s sounds like when Keanu Reeves tried to do accents in Dangerous Liaisons & Much Ado About Nothing.

How many bfs or husbands has he had since the one killed in the tsunami? Christ I thinks he’s becoming the male gay equivalent of Rosie O’Donnell.

He looks like a metrosexual Chucky doll on Lexapro & in Theory jeans.

I don't think I've ever seen a place that coordinated - black, white, gold, and wood.

Space is nice, everything just too perfect. I like the den, kitchen is pretty good save for those stools. Nice pieces here and there.

I actually like the white they chose as the base, but it could have been SO much more with some more color variety in the wall decor and eclecticism and better art. I'm not saying it has to look like a random mish-mash. But, more random and lived-in than this.

Nate isn't so cute anymore. The youthful haircut isn't doing him any favors.

Poppy Berkus?

His apartment is a tsunami of good taste.

Nate is a lucky man. He’s got everything I ever wanted.

[quote] He and his husband have adopted a daughter named Poppy.

Why? Children cost over a million dollars over their first 18 years.

And can you return them?

He is definitely looking a bit long in the tooth.

I suspect when they're alone those two squeal like little girls as they swish around that place in hostess gowns.

Hostess gowns? Matching jockstraps.

Another 2015 bump. They sold that place, moved to LA, had another kid, and moved back to NYC last year.

He’s only here because he snatched away my lifejacket.

Are they making warm blankets for that cute baby from the high-altitude tufts of hair they're growing atop their heads?

Rofl at that image r65

THEY are the kind of FAGGOT couple straight woman fantasize about being friends with. YUCK.

R71 aww they’re not so bad.

Nate is so goddamn boring he puts me to sleep. He was very cute when younger,but oh so dull. Now hes just dull.

There's something wrong with people who spend a ton of time and money buying and renovating the perfect home, then go on and on about how it is there "sanctuary" and "recharges" them, only to sell it in a couple years doing the same thing all over again. Not being able to just be in your bespoke home is a red flag.

They're both annoying.

They renovated my friend's house when they were doing that show around LA. She said that Nate was sweet but Jeremiah was unbearable.

Two interior decorators are married and designed a house together, the slap fights over design disagreements must have been vicious.

Beautiful couple, but that apartment leaves me cold.... its just bland. And anonymous, cold, sterile like what R23 said.

Great bones though, and I do like the kitchen, could live with the bathroom, but the rest of it needs character and charm like a tweaker needs meth

Gimme a truckload of antiques and chintz and I could sort it good

Isn’t Nate a midget? And he’s WAY past his expiration date. Nate needs to move to Palm Springs and fuck off. New York City hates you.

R78 - I normally agree with your posts, but the word “chintz” scares me. What exactly are you referring to? And maybe an antique or two, but you don’t want it to lol like an old lady, do you?

I'm changing my name to Poppy Berkus-Brent

How old is that story? They've owned a town house in the West Village for two years!

Just wanna know who's the top?

What is wrong with his face? Was he in a car accident?

R83 - “ I just wanna know who’s the top.”

Neither are tops; they’re both the nelliest bottoms to ever have bottomed. The “top” is a rough piece of Puerto Rican trade that they hire several times a year while on vacation.

R80 chintz like Mario Buatta did it - full on, no holds barred. And a shitload of antiques, not just one or two. I like the "old lady look" - its called the "grandmillenial" style, and its the future. Dont fear it, for it is fucking awesome

R86 - Thank you V8fairy. I learned an amazing new word today because of you.

Bump

That’s a top of the line white baby they ordered up, probably custom-designed like Anderson’s too (we’ll take a premium caucasian egg, tyvm.)

Nobody hates gay men as much as gay men

Why did this 7 year old we-bought-an-apartment-and-a-designer-baby thread get bumped, what hard-hitting narrative was missing in 2015 that required revisiting? A waste of perfectly good electrons.
