An Apartment of Neutrals

That bar!

He’s cute.

Don’t you mean “that baaaarrr???”

He had annoying way of taking but the upspeak is not really as rampant as it is among many.

The decoration is a horror.

Hard to spot the cum stains in that place.

I really like it. He seems happy and content.

It's nice but I mentally checked out when he likened himself to Carrie Bradshaw.

Yikes

Is he an alcoholic?

Overall I think his decorating style is really bad. There's nothing about that apartment I find even remotely attractive.

I seriously thought he was Pandora Box.

Nice - I like it. But too many bottles - I would prefer a smoother, cleaner wall/cabinet. But I like minimalistic. He had some good insights about color and variations of white. Where do I find these Ball and Farrow “color people”?

They weren't his insights R11. He repeatedly states that a color consultant selected the colors and explained how they best worked together.

not to my taste but tastefully done. I love people who make their dreams come true

R;9 I thought the same thing. Quite a full bar.

Life is too short to be taupe.

How far is this monochrome color scheme craze from being over?

Sorry but that R15 would cause me stress. I want my house to be calming, clean, and neutral - with maybe some good colorful art and some earthy wood and broth pillows. Too much color is too stimulating in our overstimulated modern lives. IMO.

Tasteful in a safe, vanilla way.

A sleeping space that confined would give me panic attacks in the middle of the night.

Ronan Farrow's Balls are super chic and expensive, but worth every penny if done right.

Good God R15.

R17 You're 'sorry?' Ok.

More about Ronan Farrow's balls please R19.

Why Ronan Farrow’s Balls, R19?

This is a Farrow and Ball ad. Who is this guy? He is cute. I either love the bar or am alarmed by it. Anyways.. point made on the paint. There's more than one shade of white.

The bar is a not-so-silent scream for help. Better stick to clear liquor if you'll be barfing on white furniture.

Mediocre man highlights mediocre apartment.

Observations:

-He’s a drunk

-He doesn’t/can’t read.

-Despite that crazy long “table, I doubt he has enough friends to fill it. And if he did, who could eat with all the pretentious shit on the table. Also, the galley “common Room” gives off Oliver Twist vibes.

-The dining room is apparently is art-free, as guests have to slither about the walls to wheeze in there. And how the hell would you serve for in that over-sized closet? And the overhead light fixture is too large and visually shrinks the room…which it certainly doesn’t need.

-The kitchen…we’ll, it certainly is just that, girl. The large sink takes up too damned space. And the cabinet colors are a violation of THE Neutral Rule!

-The LR…really? Repurposing a sectional is fine if you’re in your 20s…shameful now as he’s clearly over 30.

-The bedroom…it’s a Full-sized bed right? Where do your tricks sleep? (I suspect one of the storage units holds a Murphy bed.)

-The bathroom appears to be functional, but the product-placement is shameful. Also, no group showers are happening in that joint.

-The “art” throughout is lazy/tacky/uninspired.

-Obviously, no red wine is served.

If OP's guy ever decides to transition, all he'll need to do is transpose his names to become Janelle Patrick.

Alcoholism is so sad. And even more tragic when one is so brazen about it.

R15 Marry me, WHERE IS THAT AT?! I wanna see more of that place.

R26 You seem INSUFFRABLE and TIRING!

And R30 is the hostess of this shameful YouTube infomercial.

is this in Manhattan or brooklyn?

I dig the wall art

is this an ad for fallow and ball? he mentions it a million times

the bedroom is too samll and how can he have the AC right above the bed, he wont get any sleep.

Samll.

The upspeak is awful, but not as heinous as most we've dissected here, still....cut it out!

He says "like" too often, which is juvenile and waters down whatever one is trying to express. Yeah, that Skinny Girl dining table and hallway he's placed it in are just a bit too narrow to actually be functional, but the kitchen I like.

Other than a bottle of red wine on the counter I've always found displayed liquor bottles gauche. Put that shit away!

Bland and unmemorable. Mostly a blank. Like its owner. Color is not the enemy, kids.

Those bottles are empties topped up with tap water.

And as for “like”, “like”, “like”, “like”, “like”? Grow the fuck up you silly queen.

I still don't get what he does. Is he a lifestyle expert or an influencer?

He said he has an app about making cocktails at home, so I guess that's why he has that huge bar. there is no TV. this was decorated just for this video. he doesn't really live like this.

I feel a little better and less envious of his space because he's 40+ at least.

One can never have enough liquor in the house.

R17

Aww. New Yorkers and their tiny spaces.

Where was the dildo room? Are they hidden amongst the liquor bottles?

They are the liquor bottles, R46.

Is it possible he's a homosexual?

I'm fairly devoted to Farrow & Ball paints but that's about the only thing going on in the apartment. All those shades of off white make sense for the space and it's different rooms with different exposures, but it's simple, really, and our host tries to turn it into a science. Not crazy for the "hint of green" in the front room (bar.)

It looks like it was furnished in two hours by a crew from a furniture rental company. Except the crazy bar shelving (he seems to have one of everything where a more confident host would have made some choices, "Two kinds of gin in my house,: X or Y?".

What furniture there is is a bit ridiculous, not least in his "office" which consists of a small high square bar table and three wire-frame bar stools. No laptop, no lamp, no place for a lamp not to plug anything electrical into an outlet.

It's not a bad space, buy it would look better with even a bit of adult furniture.

Love, love love the pressed metal ceilings. Loved the minimalism (except the bottle store) through out. Dining area didn't offend me either. I liked all the clean lines.

What’s the obsession with people here posting videos of gays in god awful tiny Manhattan apartments?

Most people don’t want to live like Paul Lynde or Joan Crawford R15.

I laughed out loud at that R25. It caught me off guard.

this isn't a good use of space. The neutral colors didn't offend me but the bedroom is too small.

It's not bad, calming for me, you big queens AWAYS go too far and throw everything in and call it good, it's not good, it's a big gay mess especially with all your Precious Moments and Hummel's from granny. This is nice.

All his taste is in his mouth.

Everything is fine, until he comes around the corner in a translucent PVC slicker with a large power tool in hand.

Fucking hideous. Looks like a slightly more masculine version of the Instagram Incest Survivor aesthetic that tries to copy Queen Daddyfucker Kim K.

I wish that man would fuck me all throughout that tasteful apartment.

His Instagram account drives me crazy. He is a “lifestyle influencer.” Staying in presidential suites at Rosewood hotels, traveling first class to Singapore, taking tuxedo clad yacht trips around Manhattan, etc. This is one rich bitch.

What does this cunt contribute to the world?

someone report him to the IRS. I bet he's a tax cheat!

It's really not bad, but too bland. I like colour, I don't even mind something gaudy as R15.

In fact, I'd love for ONE room in a beige/white home to look like a unicorn vomited sparkles. Just to make it interesting.

Look like an outpatient insane asylum

I didn’t get the office space - there was no storage or equipment. Sitting at the table with his laptop (and a cocktail) I guess.

I like the apartment. But seriously this is like an after hours speak easy.

I had to laugh when he kept talking about his "color consultant" - who came up with Skimmed Milk White and some other white. A friend's job once was to come up with names for hair dyes IIRC for Clairol. She made a really good salary in NYC. Seriously that was her job.

He did a really nice job - maybe he and his friends are colorful enough.

I mean, I can MAYBE understand the bar area if the guy is in his twenties and he’s an incipient alcoholic, but over forty?? GUUUURRRRRLLLLLLLLLLL. It’s time for some AA. If I walked in and saw that, I’d leave shortly after.

The bedroom is depressing and sad R54.

R67 “incipient”, darling? He’s full-fledged

^ I'll drink to that! (hic)

that is not a tiny place

He mentioned that he and his brother had an app where they have drink recipes. So maybe this is his actual J O B. Which means he can write off that entire living room.

I love vintage barware. I'm just not much of a drinker. He has some nice artwork. There is a cute lithograph/drawing in the hall with a man moving a statute and it looks like he has his arm loving wrapped around it. I'd love that.

OP- I thought you were going to discuss a new category of gender called

NEUTRALS

[quote] He mentioned that he and his brother had an app where they have drink recipes. So maybe this is his actual J O B. Which means he can write off that entire living room.

I think you may be on to something R73. A friend of mine worked for an interior designer in NYC who had all kinds of A list clients, decorated Richard Gere's apartment, etc. She always was late on payroll to pay the black seamstresses making the curtains yet she would go on binge shopping sprees buying $500 shoes or $1000 purses, which she could then write off as business expenses. The logic being she had to look the part to land all of those wealthy clients. It really PO'd me that she'd treat her employees so poorly. The IRS needs to tighten up on these kinds of deductions IMO.

Ok, rant over. Carry on with bitchy comments about the alkie gay boy.

What part of town? Those tin ceilings make me think of Soho/Nolita, but who knows?

I like it. Someone with a drinking problem isn't likely to display hundreds of bottles of liquor. Wealthy people have private wine cellars but no one freaks out and implies they are alcoholics. Alcohol doesn't go bad so it's not unusual to amass a large collection of opened bottles. Especially for someone who likes to make up new cocktails and have parties. I rarely drink liquor but one of my lower kitchen cabinets is fully stocked with booze, most of it leftover from parties and people bringing a bottle of something. Some of you are so uptight.

I lived in a studio on E57th that was billed as having a "private sleeping alcove." It technically couldn't be classified as a bedroom because there was no door or closet but it was tucked out of view from the kitchen and living room. My closets lined the hallway leading to the bathroom. I always thought Mary Richards could have thrown up a wall or even a pony wall on the landing by the window and made a space for a proper bed.

The old Alkie Queen at R77 making excuses for the young Alkie Queen.

TLDR rambling drunk at R77.

R77 Are you using cocaine?

[quote]Aww. New Yorkers and their tiny spaces.

Oh, hon. There are bungalow style houses in L.A. with smaller footprints, get real.

I suspect those two bicycles on the wall are merely ornamental.

No clean man would carry these implements with their ordure-stained wheels into such a clean place.

[quote] liquor … most of it leftover from parties

Beware. Some alcohol such as Bailey's Irish cream goes off.

[quote] He mentioned that he and his brother had an app where they have drink recipes. So maybe this is his actual J O B. Which means he can write off that entire living room.

No, he can't write off his entire living room as a tax deduction. He can write off a certain amount of square footage (of the living room), though. The write-off has to be for space that is used for work, only, not dual purpose space.

Loved the ceilings. I like off-white paint on walls. All of his walls looked like the same color on video.

The liquor shelves overtook the space. I also wouldn't have liked it if it were all books. I think he could have stored all that liquor in the bedroom and used his "office" as a bedroom.

Other than the liquor, living room is a nice, large space.

The dining room was too narrow, plus, it makes ingress / egress to the kitchen difficult.

Kitchen: I liked, but that little table was stupid in that it was in the wrong place. Made the area seem like an obstacle course. (Squeezing through the dining area to get to the kitchen, then the kitchen has an obstacle as well.)

The office ... I doubt he works in there. Like I said, that space could be used as a bedroom.

The bedroom was fine, IMO. I'd be able to sleep in there.

Bathroom was nice. Neon sign that he had to crouch to switch on seemed silly.

The “office” could’ve been used as an intimate dining room while using the narrow, awkward “dinning room” as an extension of the kitchen for more informal dining.

All the walls look the same color, this was just an advertisement for the paint company, which is how he makes his money. Also whats with all the stupid little tables scattered around, his last apartment was even worse.

He's obviously doing something right. The money is coming in. He has lots of brand deals on Instagram.

Where are these bungalows that people are talking about?

He's a lush!

Isn't there dental work that can correct a lisp?

Overall I like it.

Observations: - How did that long dining room table even get into the apartment? I'm assuming they reassembled. - The kitchen marble is beautiful. They cabinet color is horrible and don't look like they belong in that space. - The office looks uncomfortable seating with those stools without back support. How can you work there for hours? I see it as a gathering place rather than an office. The wallpaper or mural on the right is great though. - I never so so much alcohol in one place outside of a bar or liquor store.

Yay! My house interior is painted in Glidden's Navajo Sand which is almost the same color, without all the pretentiousness. I lack the 'bar that looks like an apothecary' feature in the living room, tho.

Once he opens his mouth, the attraction is over.
