It’s Sutton Foster’s House, Tasteful Friends

That fireplace and curtains = tacky!

For some reason I find her incredibly annoying.

It’s lovely. I worked with her once and she was nice and super tall.

The architecture in Tuxedo Park is really beautiful.

I don't know if I could live in a property that's 130 years old, but I agree that it's lovely. It feels like her personal taste.

I'm so over blandly minimalistic interiors (grey walls, off-white walls, pale beige walls).

Does she really commute from Tuxedo daily for 8 shows a week on Bway? Or just on her days off? (They mentioned a Manhattan apartment, but Foster also has a young daughter.)

Nothing is tacky about this house.

She tries to hard

Her husband has some big screenwriting and producing credits on IMDB but not all that much over the past decade. I wonder if Sutton is the big breadwinner and he's playing Mr. Mom.

Multiple residences and a primary home in Tuxedo ain't cheap. Sutton probably made some great bank on YOUNGER, her TV series.

The bitch has four homes. FOUR!

Sutton Foster's home or Pottery Barn?

She’s such a fucking slut. Before her low-rent basic cable show she broke up >10 marriages in the nyc theater scene. Lucky her pilot got picked up and she had an excuse to wait for the heat to die down, because everyone hated her ass and she was unhireable. Also not cute: A lot of abortions.

Tuxedo is only an hour’s drive. She probably has a car and driver stipulated in her contact.

The Manhattan apartment is probably for matinee days when she needs somewhere to go and days she has to do morning publicity events.

I've heard about Deb's Abortion Bloat but not Sutton's!

I've met her several times and she's great. Totally down to earth, funny, sweet natured. Very nice decor but too girly for my taste. Hate the green fireplace. Everything else is fine. Some nice pieces and the painted walls are reasonable.

Like Sutton herself, it “appears” to have a personality. Except for the wallpaper on the ceiling, I can’t remember a thing I just looked at.

That's because you have early onset dementia.

"She tries to hard"

I love it.

I’m trying not to feel jealous.

So scintillating.

[quote] She tries to hard

Someone doesn't try nearly hard enough

Its not my taste, but it in't far from it. It looks personal and individual.

I like it.

Very stylish.

Did Sister Parish decorate that place? it's so "Old Lady".

I think that house successfully walks a very fine line between old lady and chic and modern.

Bitch gives lousy head.

It is nice and definitely not bland. Some rooms are very dark. I think I would get depressed living there.

Poor girl put so much money into that ugly house that she can’t afford a pair of shoes.

Way too rich old maiden aunt in its decor. The house itself looks lovely but all the floral wallpaper makes it look fusty.

Is that Patty LuPone commenting at R12 ?

Where did SHE get all that money? Broadway doesn’t pay that well. The repair and maintenance alone on that house is hugely expensive - never mind the very high end decoration. Did she have wealthy parents ?

Does she own any books?

She must have married well, because there's no way that she could afford that on a Broadway salary.

Very busy, very maximalist, but somehow it all basically works. It's very nice, very pretty. Lot's of nice patterns, accents, art and furniture. Like many others, I'd pick and choose from what I'd keep of all that and have a less busy, less "full" look overall. But, yeah, I like it - and it's a nice departure from a lot of the homes posted here.

Some of those pics could have been better lit though.

[quote] On the piano are flowers by Broadway dancer turned florist Robbie Fairchild.

Did we know he was a florist?

It is very stylish. I am not a big fan of the color green, but I admire her commitment to it (like in the picture with the couch and the portrait with the golden frame), I love most of the wallpaper designs (especially the flower wallpaper in the parlor). The bedroom is a bit too froufrou for me. And why are there so many fireplaces? I would've kept one and got rid of all the rest.

Big fan of Sutton's work.

Robbie started a successful florist business when Broadway shut down due to Covid, but he's still very much a dancer.

Bountiful package on him.

She was the star of the TV series that ran for five or so years. Plus she’s a brand name on Broadway so must be paid very well for The Music Man.

Little Missy and her designers don't have a clue. The furnishings are lovely but it looks like a niche furniture and accessories store from a seller who loves dark wood, rich and faux-distressed-homespun-but-embroidered-by-a-princess textiles, with nothing personal, nothing varied and NOTHING charming.

It's a set.

How sad.

The knotted ropes on the porch swing represent the entire problem with the ideas. They want elegance in the midst of the craftsman-epoque fiber and knot. IT'S VULGAR because it's cynical and doesn't know it.

I'd read a blog where R40 reviews home interiors. Lol. "It's VULGAR" because it's cynical and doesn't know it" took me out. I'd love R40's detailed and philosophical takes on much more mundane Middle America homes - like a 1960s split level in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Seriously - if you're gonna be bitchy about an interior, go BIG like R40.

A bit twee

The thing one see more than anything on the DL is the comparability of taste between posters and the appalling errors of designers and wealth that does not understand life. It is the noise of the marketing class, whose opinions are uninformed by custom, home or education, and who fail to recognize just what just a place is FOR.

Apart from spreading in mag pages as legs are spread for other "opportunities to be notices."

It is not a disaster. It is a shoppe and a silent partner who doesn't realize it.

Prattle on, you tasteless bitches.

R41, I'm sorry you failed to recognize the exemplar visible in the swing appointments.

You lack insight. I'll pass on cynicism because you don't seem to have the depth required. At least Ms. Foster obviously has the depth - her cynicism comes from having the pride in presenting herself in this way. "No PR is bad PR."

Vulgarity does not come from drinking from a chipped cup from a hand-pulled well. It comes from pulling a drink from the well and holding your pinky out as you sip from your gold goblet with the "Made in China" label stuck to the side of it. It's misplacement and overreaching.

It's not from aspiring to meet the standards of taste in Ladies Home Journal or one's mother's aesthetic. Some of the examples here do not merit the ridicule they get. Time and place can be missed in some of these home displays.

There is nothing pleasantly honest and campy about this place here. It is a dry shell with plenty of room for swaddling hot mugs between one's crossed legs. How grotesque.

Someone's trying too hard, and for once it isn't Sutton

Beautiful house. The furnishings and finishes are not all to my taste, but it's comfortable and pleasant and doesn't set my teeth on edge - all good things considering what the inside of most people's houses look like.

She's making big bucks on Broadway too. Besides the $600 orchestra seats, "The Music Man" announced $76 Standing Room Only, the highest ever on Broadway.
