02:27and now for the moment you've been waiting for follow me
02:35welcome to this incredible great room where once in a lifetime central park views take center stage
02:41in fact every design decision was made to celebrate this epic view so let the celebration begin to
02:48create a truly conversational moment we placed two img exclusive sofas facing one another anchored by
02:55these two generous marble coffee tables even though they're tailored to maintain a refined elegant presence
03:02trust me with this rich woven fabric it is so comfortable across from the floor-to-ceiling windows we
03:09place this tiled mirror wall it obviously amplifies the light and the view but the antique finish adds
03:15an unexpected twist after all when you design as many homes as we do an unexpected twist is always a
03:21goal
03:25this dining room is where you trade moments of zen for the liveliest of gatherings with a view like
03:31this a lot of people are going to want to get on your invite list but we wanted to make
03:35sure that the
03:35views weren't the only thing that impressed for a touch of quiet drama we place an oversized ebony table
03:42beneath an extended iron and glass chandelier 10 white sculptural boucle dining chairs soften the moment
03:48while a vintage tapestry bridges contemporary design with timeless character this is the kind of dining room
03:55that makes you want to stay long after dessert
04:01that makes you want to stay long after you have to stay long after you have to stay long after
04:02you have to stay
04:02talk about an elevated kitchen get it we actually didn't do much here but felt it needed a soft touch
04:08so we created a breakfast nook with a custom boucle banquette and it's right near one of the most
04:14incredible terraces in the city
04:18it's worth mentioning that this over 11 000 square foot home also has 11 rooms that includes a whole other
04:28great
04:28room with a classical theme inspired by the mat but follow me because i want to show you what i
04:34consider
04:34the best of the five bedrooms
04:39welcome to the primary suite here are the energy shifts calm becomes deeply personal because a home
04:47like this demands nothing ordinary at the center a bespoke upholstered headboard is framed in walnut paneling
04:55and accented with integrated alabaster sconces i always believed that a primary bedroom should
05:00have a corner lounge area and positioned it perfectly to enjoy the view it's the perfect place for a
05:07champagne nightcap let's talk about the dressing room an overscaled mirror reflects every detail this
05:14isn't just a dressing room it's a mood that takes you from style to spa and speaking of spa the
05:20bathroom is
05:21it's the most relaxed vibe cristallo gold quartzite studio so field fixtures and design so intentional
05:29it feels like a private club i love this primary suite it's one of the best ones we've done and
05:36that includes my own
05:41thank you for joining me in this once in a lifetime penthouse tour in a home like this we always
05:47end on a high note
05:49literally can't wait to show you what we unlock next in the meantime i'm going to keep these keys
05:57thanks for showing us around cheryl i think we're all going to need a minute to readjust to sea level
06:01coming up in just a bit how this designer created a bespoke home that never takes itself too seriously
06:07we'll see you in just a few
06:18welcome back everyone now with interior designer kim lapine as she opens up the doors to her very own
06:23home in palos verde's estates where design beauty and daily life come together just perfectly and kim
06:30shows us how she did it hey guys my name is kim lapine from kim lapine interiors welcome to my
06:39home
06:39tour inside my personal home you will see lots of beautiful statement marble you'll see statement
06:44lighting so it's very organic it's very fun i'm so happy you guys are here and i'm so excited to
06:50show
06:50you around come on in
06:54i always believe that the entryway should be kind of a statement
06:57so we did really beautiful travertine flooring in here and i checkerboarded them to make them feel
07:01a little more timeless my favorite part about the entryway is this beautiful white oak staircase because
07:06it's architectural and it has these beautiful lines and i feel like it really just gives my design ethos
07:12right when you walk in because all of these elements come together in such a cool and natural way
07:20so this is my formal living room and it is my favorite room of the house we have an amazing
07:25onyx esmeralda that's the name of it bench from wall to wall in this beautiful architectural fireplace
07:32we also did beautiful sconce lighting on the walls to give that natural glow another big design element
07:38of this room is this amazing chandelier i love how it looks different from different vantage points so
07:44if you're standing here it has one design and if you're standing at the entryway it has another design
07:47obviously the furniture is a huge part of design and we did these beautiful marble tables that i
07:53actually found the base separately and the top separately and combined them so it's those little
07:57touches of figuring out how to creatively put your furniture together to create a space that feels all
08:02your own this is our family room where we like to hang out and chill and it's just really a
08:09very cozy
08:10fun but practical family space which is why i love it so joining us in this space are my two
08:15dogs
08:15cookie and chloe they're vishlas i designed the whole house around cookie and chloe because as you can see
08:21they're very tonal and they are very much in my color way i love terracottas and i love like seafoams
08:27and i love wood this space is very calming and soothing to me but my bedroom is my zen zone
08:34and i
08:34would love to show you guys for my bedroom i really want it to feel like a spa and i
08:42wanted this room to
08:43feel a little more grounded slightly more masculine and balanced so we did this beautiful stone plaster on
08:50the walls that has like a cement vibe to it and we have this stone bench from wall to wall
08:55and it's
08:55it's marble so it has this hardness to it but i feel like it balances the soft tones and the
09:01hard
09:01tones in the room to kind of create this balance between masculine and feminine and you really see
09:05that duality in the bathroom especially above the tub where we have the beautiful morano glass chandelier
09:10that's pink and delicate and then below it you have the travertine clad tub but the two of them
09:15together create this like beautiful duality and balance
09:23and that's it for my home tour thanks so much for stopping by i'll see you on the next one

13:54long list of celebrity clients some of whom dubbed her chef lean her casual california influence style
14:01shines through in this oh so comfortable apartment which was designed for cooking relaxing and just
14:07living life with her family enjoy
14:13i'm kathleen coy and i'm a chef entrepreneur in new york city welcome to my apartment in harlem it's a
14:19three bedroom we've been here for five years it's where we live but it's also where i create come i'll
14:25show you around when you first walk in the door you're going to go directly into my daughter nola's
14:32room so this room is a little tiny but we wanted to have big impact so we of course got
14:37nola the dream
14:38tent kids bed painted a wall pink and included a giant library so this room was all about fun and
14:45fantasy and extra girly but across the hall is where we get a ton of work done
14:52in new york space is at a premium so this room had to be multifunctional we included a murphy bed
14:57for guests a desk for when we need to do work a storage space for scooter and added extra storage
15:03this is a room where i'm super busy but let me show you where i go to relax
15:10so this is our primary bedroom and you can see it's quite a departure from
15:14the bright cheeriness of the rest of the house the room inspiration started with this jungle
15:19wallpaper and from there i chose a darker wall to create a more sultry vibe but then i wanted to
15:24have a really personal touch so i added our sign from our wedding to remind us that we're always
15:28better together and to complete the jungle theme we have nice lush linens that are dark green as well
15:34and bright colors just to make it a little bit bright so you've seen where we work and sleep
15:38but the heart of the home is this way follow me
15:45so this is the heart of our home we have our living room our dining room and our kitchen it's
15:50where we
15:50spend the most amount of time and entertain our friends so i got a gray dark sectional to kind of
15:57bring in a little bit of a cozy vibe because the room is so white and bright and has tons
16:00of natural
16:01light i felt like the room could handle a darker sofa right behind me is our dining room space i
16:06wanted to
16:08so i started with different colored chairs and we turned our old coffee table into a bench so we can
16:13comfortably sit six to ten people at our table being a chef and working in the kitchen is really fun
16:19for me but i also wanted to be really fun for nola so i got her her own little play
16:23kitchen and right
16:24next to the play kitchen there's a little chase lounge where we soak up all the views from the park
16:28another focal point of our room is the family photo wall with pictures of our parents our grandparents
16:35our friends and of course our daughter nola this is the heart of the home but let me show you
16:40what
16:40makes a beat come with me to our kitchen i knew this was apartment for me when i walked in
16:49and saw this
16:49amazing kitchen and as a private chef i can't have you come over without feeding you so today i'm going
16:55to
16:55make you some fajitas which is one of my favorite go-to meals so let's get started the first thing
17:00we're going to do is marinate our chicken honestly you can't really do too much when you're seasoning
17:06your meats i love cooking in the space because not only do i have tons of space to do what
17:13i need to do
17:13but the city is right there it feels like i'm almost one with nature while i'm cooking in this kitchen
17:19so the next step is we're going to sear our chicken so while our chicken's searing i'm going to start
17:26chopping up our vegetables one of the reasons i got into cooking was because i have this theory that
17:31you can't really eat when you're angry and i just love bringing happiness to people so i'm going to
17:36take out our chicken but i'm going to start to saute our vegetables and then we'll add in the chicken
17:40at
17:40the final moments to finish cooking time to plate so we're just going to top it with some fresh cilantro
17:50and there we have our fajitas
17:56so these are my chicken fajitas one of my favorite dishes to serve my family and friends thanks for
18:01visiting see you later so good that looks delicious chef who doesn't love a good fajita
18:15coming up designer alvin wayne shows us what he did in this classic loft
18:28welcome back everyone now we join interior designer alvin wayne to see how he brought new life into his
18:34clients spacious soho loft the result is both design savvy and family friendly take a look
18:45this loft is my redefinition of a family home it had to be kid and pet friendly as well as
18:51art savvy i'm alvin
18:52let me show you around this is what you see when you first enter the home this 60 foot expanse
19:01from front
19:02to back i mean you can definitely work up a sweat running sprints in here it's a launch pad for
19:07the day
19:07and a catwalk at night and this is where things really open up am i right with two exposures we
19:22decided to create two living areas because why not one is for family gathering and watching television
19:28and the other is for a more intimate conversation we bought in this deep comfortable sectional in a dark
19:34blue leather and we paired it with this oversized pattern ottoman and underfoot we placed this soft
19:39moroccan wool rug this is definitely not an area that takes itself too seriously and for this area the
19:46original tie was my main inspiration it's a pattern that i repeated in the upholstery of these chairs
19:51and that lamp it's even in the artwork and we repeated the blue from the sofa in this area rug
19:57for a bit of
19:58continuity and we created this vibrant moment just in case you want to curl up by yourself with a good
20:03book
20:03or a cat the biggest transformation in this kitchen was this wall it used to be this 80s era glass
20:14brick
20:15so we tore it down dry walled it and added tile in the similar pattern to the fireplace the clients
20:20decided not to have a traditional dining area instead we created this charming breakfast nook with
20:25an antique church pew and a distressed metal table that just gets better each year love that patina
20:39we bought graphic prints into the bedding and the carpet but do you want to know what my favorite
20:44part about designing this bedroom was follow me check out this closet one of the advantages
20:50of adding walls to an open space is that you can do anything you want and my client wanted a
20:55dream closet
20:56and i think i delivered it features all custom meal work and white oak plenty of storage and plenty
21:02of opportunities to check your stuff out and so we end where we began this was my colorful take on
