HOUSE TOUR | Inside a Family's Cozy & Chic Pre-War Apartment 

What a blessing to have a pre-war apartment with an ample foyer, thick walls, and moldings! I'm not sure if the high/low comment followed by 'I'm not afraid of Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel' means that she finds those vendors high or low. I guess to a designer they're low. To me they're high.

One of my big life goals is to live in a pre war penthouse with a stunning view of central park! I claim it! I manifest it! She is so lucky and inspirational!

If anyone is curious about the prints in her entryway that she took from a book- the artist is Jonas Wood

I love her style, mixing high and low and classic and vintage with contemporary. I love the living room- the bookshelves are genius and the paint color is beautiful. For a young person, she has a lot of knowledge and seems very confident.

The apartment is gorgeous and her snob is showing through. But she wears it well.

The children's room with the light blue plaid is the nicest one I have ever seen. It's beautiful. That wallpaper creates a stunningly inviting effect.

Did she call RH, Pottery Barn, and Crate and Barrel "Low"? Tell me you're in a different tax bracket without telling me. She'd definitely consider my décor low budget because its all RH and Pottery Barn🤣

Fortunate family to have a beautiful apartment layout in the heart of New York City culture. Not my style of decor or choice of color schemes, but I can hear her passion for what she has accomplished for her husband and children's living spaces. I adore the hallway sofa style and upholstery.

Everything about her apartment is absolutely exquisite. How lovely that her children are growing up with a sense of respect for beautiful things! 😍

Everything is absolutely beautiful, but I find it to be missing the spark of whimsy many of the other tours have. Her large entryway is truly fabulous.

I never thought my favorite room in one of these tours would be a BATHROOM, but her guest bathroom is stunning. What a beautiful apartment! Wonderful design elements but still feels like a cozy home.

This apartment is absolutely gorgeous. I love how homey and warm it is. Prewar apartments are such gems. The classic details add so much character. Love it. But PB and RH being described as low end is definitely relative for an interior designer living in a clearly multi-million dollar home. It depends on when they purchased, but that obviously huge 3BR apartment today would go for $3-5 million easy.

My favorite room was her youngest child’s bedroom. Loved the wallpaper and all the animal touches.

I love this apartment so much and the down to earth attitude of the owner, mom, designer. Very inspirational.🥰

Love her colors and proportion of furniture in relation to the room dimensions. She has this nailed 👏 beautiful West Side utopia!

This is absolutely gorgeous! The cork wall is so unique & practical. And that master bath shower tile…stunning! I love her attention to detail & how she played into the unique features such as the picture frame molding & radiator.

I’m a native NYer and artist living in Dayton, OH, where it is a cultural and architectural desert. If I ever become a homeowner again, my place will be tailored to NYC pre-war or industrial loft style. Wherever I live, I always bring a lot of NYC vibes with me. My apartment building is 55+ years old, with thin walls and ceilings that squeak and crackle when my neighbors walk. It drives me nuts, but that’s what comes with the territory of apartment living. What I love the most about your apartment, are the global fabrics that cover your throw pillows and the loveseat in your entryway. Your entryway is the size of a lot of NYC studio apartments, and I think it’s fabulous. Your kids won’t stay little forever, so I think it’s great you don’t suffocate them with too many boundaries, and let them be kids. Way to go Mom!

Her business is doing so well because she has a wonderful design aesthectic. Her style is NYChic but also appealing to and replicable in the rest of the country. She has created a lovely home for her family.

Great Upper West Side apartment -- great job and thoughtfully considered! Truly a very comfortable apartment! I hope they have decades of happy memories in this home. And who better than Bunny Williams to work for as an intern! Bunny is always my go-to reference for interiors...just the best! Bunny would certainly do high - low and will always say that if you love it, buy it and you will find a place for it. So true! Thanks very much for this tour!

What a wonderful home! Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone. You are a very talented young woman.

Just love this apartment, so warm and really seems like their kids can play and live in this entire space.

I love how eloquently she talks about her home. She seems such a warm, homey person. I am not a big fan of modern art, but her apt is a good size and has lovely bones.

Charming and cozy - love the front hall, kitchen, baths, and bedrooms. I love pre-war and the UWS (UW) in NYC. A great family apartment. Great interior design.

I love her art especially the wabi sabi over the couch, well done decorating.

So many details to love in this home tour! Very beautifully done!

I absolutely love this flat. So beautifully design and homely. I love it. Great job.

Oh my! Congratulations!! What a lovely home!!!

love it cozy and beautiful. thank you for this.

Wow. Exceptional taste. Great eye. Easy modern day style with just the right bits to inform and enjoy at the same time. Loved. Every. Second!

Love it! very warm and "homy" but at same time stylish.

Love your color palette. Very easy on the eyes. The dimmer mood is so soothing at night.

This apartment is spectacular!!! People who say NYC only has shoebox size apartments have NEVER seen a pre-war apartment. They're too busy looking for a dishwasher and laundry in unit.

It is awesome that she designs her own decorative pieces using artists all over the country. I love custom process , it is so creative and satisfying to have a unique piece made just for you and to support talented craftsmen in a process. I wish more people did this with decor and furniture.

it's a home and a lovely home with all spaces curated according to life of its inhabitants -- she should be proud of her achievement -- for children and dogs living indoors with no access to yards nor terraces -- she understands how her children live in their home; and, most importantly -- their bedrooms -- bravo.

Thank you Sarah, your home is absolutely beautiful

OMG I loved her decor, every room has a exquisite taste n well putt together, thanks for the home tour 🌺🌸💕

"...upperwestsideupperwestsideupperwestside..."

"Done on a dime" LOL!

Too many special touches to single one out, such a lovely home.

I usually find these home tours to be over-the-top and unrelatable, but this one was very inspiring to me. I love all of the little touches, like the knobs in the nursery. Well done.

Beautiful, with lots of texture and character.

So amazing to have an English cottage feel in a NY apartment!

I was just telling myself what a great decorator you had....only to find out it was you...Beautiful apartment . Fresh, current yet eclectic, comfortable...

What a great apartment! That front hall is so inviting and practical for its multi purposes!

the little girls rooms are so adorable!!

Loved the tour. My favorite fact is that her store is going to carry pillows/fabrics woven by refugees. What a great idea. Would love to see those.

I love the neutrals! Love how each room flows to the next with the wall treatments, antique furniture, and beautiful art pieces; classic, sophisticated …it’s a gem! 👍🥰❤️

Great home, great job Sarah. Thanks for sharing your home with us. It’s beautiful.

That writing table is divine! Love all the special touches and mixes. Your artwork elevates the whole design aesthetic.

Stunning apartment. Love her taste

A beautiful home with the most beautiful sedate colours.

It’s homey. It’s not overpowering with the just right vibe. I love the lay out too

Absolutely love her apartment and her taste!!

Love! Thank you for sharing. Your videos have brought me so much joy.

I wasn't sold on the front part of the house but OMIGOD Gemma's room! This is a supermom for sure.

Nice apartment with great bones and sq footage. Enjoy it and your family in good health. One of my major peeves is neighbors who don’t understand that feet have to move across floors. My daughter had an apt on 73rd and CPW before children and she was rarely even home and the neighbors under her went to the coop board so she was forced to cover the floors completely. It turned out the noise came from her neighbor. She loved the bldg which had a view of the museum but the whole experience was absurd so she moved to a modern loft in Chelsea and during the pandemic went to their home in Stratton, VT and loves the freedom and space there. Lots of New Yorkers with toddlers also moved there.

I clicked the video for the gorgeous woman and stayed for the gorgeous apartment. Awesome video!

I must say, I watch all homeworthy videos, and this one here is the best. I absolutely love the apartment.

this whole tour screams My Parents Are Rich. very privileged.

Looks lovely and spacious for an NYC appt, really nicely done. 👍

The view from the childrens room is stunning!

Love the mix, especially the Danish chairs, they look comfy. Yes, I had that Billy Baldwin Decorates book, when it was new, I should have kept it. I also love Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

WOW! What a fabulous sized entry hall! Love the moulding. To the comments below about high low...Listen to where she shops...Sag Harbor, Bridge Hampton - not slumming it! I think many designers (Bunny Williams and Suzanne Kasler) were commissioned by those outlets to make high end design more affordable. She is right. I love everything except for the dinning room wallpaper but it's not my pre-war apartment - it is hers so she can have whatever she loves! I love all the young designers Homeworthy features. Darling young mother in a cute sweater dress and Hermes loafers! Keep up the great work!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful apartment...such a gorgeous foyer!!

Lovely, just lovely...

This video was wonderful.Your presentation held my interest on several levels. Enjoyed your description of how you styled each room and the explanation of IG finds , upscale designers, and family items that you have collected.I am a native NYer like yourself and do appreciate when homage is served. Will be following you on Social Media.Thank you Vicenta's Hand

WOW!....such a beautiful home!

I thought it was fun, bright, warm, creative and down to earth. I liked it.

when i see "cozy" i assume small. this is enormous for ny standards and beautiful. the board in the kitchen is so smart

Lederman. I love your style.

You house is beautiful , I love you decor style thank you to brings has into your gorgeous home🥰

Love the vibe. Love the light. Love the art.

The dining room wall paper could be helped with a chair rail and a lower wall painted white. That's just too much pattern for serene dining.

Such a cozy space.

What a charming apartment. Great tour Homeworthy!! I love to watch apartment tours, maybe is because I live in one. 😊😊

Very beautiful!

That bedroom is Gor-geous!

love her kitchen so much!

I'm a former professional decorator. I like most but the dining room wallpaper is quite busy.

Thank you for sharing!

Wow! I know that house which you mentioned on 9:08 ! I did photo shoot for exactly the same!😊

Loved the centre hall.

I watched this video and tried to understand what this apartment looks like on ordinary days (not during filming for RU-vid). I think this apartment is also beautiful

Love the colour palette. Very cozy homey vibe. The video could have used more dog footage, but overall pretty good. ❤

I can’t afford Pottery Barn. In my world that is ‘high’. I look for great quality used things as at my price point they are the best deal! Some great details in this apartment from this nice lady.

Lovely charming lady and house. Thank you for the tour.

One of my favorite dining rooms!

beautiful home.

This is so good, thank you for bringing these to us each week

Lovely home! I appreciate these more modest home tours. And I get a giggle from the, umm, closed captioning that includes, like, every umm, uhhh, filler word.

Such a pretty home!

Beautifully done place !

Very pretty and comfortable looking. Pamela in Detroit

Great tour love the place..

Another favorite Homeworthy tour. I just keep coming back to rewatch this one! Perfectly neutral with plenty of color, patterns, and character without being overwhelming. This will definitely be an inspiration as I continue to decorate my own home. As far as New Yorkers and Interior Designers go, I'd say she's pretty tame. Nothing wrong with mentioning where you got your start. I'm not sure if Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, or Restoration Hardware are low end, but I'd rather save for or splurge at these stores than waste money on particle board at World Market and Target anymore.

Beautiful ❤

I would never ever move from that beautiful apartment!

Such a great apartment for a family. Very chic and natural! I wonder what the floor plan is. Difficult for me to visualize.

Love your style lovely home 😊
