Prepare to be amused as interior designer Darren Henault takes us back in time as he gives us a tour of the ornate Gilded Age apartment he and his family rent on Fifth Avenue.
The Edward J. Berwind House is a mansion located on the Upper East Side in New York City. It was constructed in 1886 for the coal baron Edward J. Berwind. It served as headquarters for the American Heart Association until 1978 when it was reconverted to residential use with a new penthouse. Enjoy!

GIVE THIS MAN HIS SHOW! I LOVE watching him. Would love to visit one of his designs

Just his stories alone! Never thought of Meatloaf being a connoisseur of 19th century art!!!!

@twistoffate4791 2 года назад

I AGREE!! I did see his Millbrook video on two different channels, one of which was Quintessence. His personality is so warm & infectious that he would be sheer perfection as the designer host of his own show. He's passionate about design and we're out here lapping up every tidbit he shares.

@@mg.5968 yes he was very entertaining! He's what I consider as one of the "Fabulous Gays". They are not only very sophisticated but also very fun to be around. I am gay myself and let me tell you there's nothing fabulous about me. I'm boring and my husband is a hillbilly. We are far from fabulous.

@albertjack4050 2 года назад

Tried to buy the ashtray but the restaurant wouldn't sell it. So he stole it instead and thinks it's funny. I stopped watching at that point. Truly appalling behavior. These items are stolen and one of them was part of an art display. A piece of art that somebody had made. Return them you disgusting man.

I felt like I was in the Edith Wharton novel The Age of Innocence. How lovely and decadent. I swear I could watch Darren Henault for an hour talk about decor and history. Fascinating.

@andrewbrendan1579 2 года назад

Not only Edith Wharton, this house could be in a novel or short story by Louis Auchincloss who was from a generation or two later but who, if my memory is right, in his youth had actually known Edith Wharton.

@@andrewbrendan1579 Oh I have to read that. Thank you for sharing.

@andrewbrendan1579 2 года назад

@@csmtcqueen My pleasure! Louis Auchincloss was from an old, affluent New York family and was either the step-brother or step-cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier whose mother married one the Auchincloss family, a second marriage. For a Gilded Age time frame I highly recommend Louis Auchincloss's novel "The House of Five Talents". He also wrote non-fiction books about such topics as the Vanderbilt family. Trained as a lawyer but an author with a remarkable output of both fiction and non-fiction, much of it about the wealthy and aristocratic and he even wrote a book about legal briefs and could make that topic interesting reading!

Picture him and his family watching the Gilded Age in this apartment, knowing how loathed the original owner must have been! Great apartment. It’s funny, I am very much a maximalist, but for me this one - the gilded age touches - is just a little bit too much for me. It’s an amazing part of history and I’m glad someone is keeping it a living museum.

@veronicaroach3667 2 года назад

I agree that places like this just seem way over the top - that was what the builders did in the 'Gilded Age' - I love Georgian era stuff, the Gilded Age not so much - 'yuck' is my usual response. It's an amazing apt tho, and he obviously enjoys it all, with a sense of humor about the ridiculousness of so much lavish ornamental trim !
