those double-glass kitchen cabinets in front of the window are a really cool idea. Awesome remodeling idea there to maximize space without losing natural light. Bravo!
This is exactly how I imagined Shonda’s house would be. So much personal style and color. It’s grand and traditional but still very cosy and livable, and I loved how she mentioned many rooms were thoughtful for multiple uses, which is how many of us are thinking of our spaces in 2022.
As soon as the video started, I said outloud: " oh, yeah, that's exactly how I thought her apartment would look." LOL. She is her authentic self, no matter what!
Shonda, the female African American bust in your dining room was created by my aunt, Myrtle J. Williams, a talented African American artist. How WONDERFUL!!! On behalf of my Aunt and our family, I thank you for your purchase and exceptional taste in art.
This is a beautiful example of a space that isn't necessarily my style but I that I can truly appreciate and admire. I love her use of the space in the house. Very well thought out. She seems like a lovely person.
One of my favorite AD tours I’ve seen so far. I get so bored of seeing the all white minimalistic look. This style is so colorful and fun yet still sophisticated. Incredible! Really enjoyed watching this one!
This isn’t my style at all but I love all the colors and textures and antiques mixed in with modern furniture…She did an awesome job creating this cozy space
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! As a designer myself I truly appreciate the “cohesive eclectic” vibe she has. Regal yet approachable. And since she is a writer her ability to give the tour and express herself was marvelous 👏💖
loving the term ‘cohesive eclectic’…Shonda’s light fixtures are true statement pieces…the wallpaper in her office space is the perfect backdrop for just about any style..
I have not seen many interviews of Shonda, but when I think of her, her house reflects on what I think her personality is. Lively, creative, colorful! Love it!
I watch a number of channels featuring architecture and design. The most unusual thing about Ms. Rhimes apartment is that it feels like a HOME. Enjoyed this video.
This is absolutely gorgeous! The cabinets with glass on both sides is genius… the layering of pattern and color is so warm and inviting, and it feels alive and unique. The thoughtful use of natural light always adds so much to a home, I believe… thank you for sharing this inspiration! 🙏
This has got to be one of the most beautifully decorated apartment. I’m an interior designer so I have an appreciation for great aesthetics, and this is by far one of my favorite. My hats off to Shonda and Michael J Smith for an outstanding job. Enjoy in good health!❤️❤️❤️
Really lovely, comfortable AND elegant home --- it's difficult to get that combo correct! The kitchen cabinets? Gorgeous. The wallpapers? So beautiful.
This woman is such a LIGHT and I just have so much respect and love for her. Her book is definitely a must read and the audiobook is on another level. A friend in my head and a HUGE person that inspires me to go for what I want... Unapologetically.
I love this! just because you are rich doesn't mean you have to stick with the four B's BIG, BEIGE, BLAND, BOX!! I love Shonda's use of color and art that gives her home true personality.
One of the best AD home tours! This home had a lot of personality and a great balance of old and new. Very welcoming and homey. You can tell someone lives in the house compared to other AD homes that look empty.
It's one thing to be wealthy.. it's another to have a level of style and elegance and class to match your wealth... This lady absolutely has BOTH✨🌟👌🏼👍🏼
This is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen! It combines elegance with comfort -it is a home that you are not afraid to touch something but very sophisticated!
Yay - gorgeous home - she and her interior designer are a match made in heaven - she's not afraid of color, pattern or texture so her home actually looks visually interesting, personal, warm and inviting. It's a showcase because of the quality of the finishes/materials but it doesn't look/feel like a museum or an ad for a specific furniture maker/brand. Kudos on a job well done!
This is the most beautiful apartment I've ever seen. When someone asks me what my interior design style is I will now forevermore say "Shonda Rhimes' NY apartment" !!!
@Cayna Sharp: I had the exact same thought! 😂😂. The home is just really beautiful, but also very, very cozy! Charming and sophisticated, but really cool at the same time. It's luxurious coziness
I have fallen in love with her home. It is gorgeous!!! What a brilliant thoughtful woman! I love how her home represents all that she loves including her daughters, whom she takes such pride in.
I love the clever design tricks to maximize space in this apartment. You’ve found the way to balance coziness and sophistication in a pleasing pallet. Lovely!
that was actually beautiful AD, love this house, and love the personality that Shonda shows in decorating her house. a lot of people with a lot of money love to keep walls white and all the furniture white and that is kinda horrible ngl, so love that she has some really good taste when it comes to not only art pieces but also colour palletes :D
@monster x monster This is updated traditional regency to be exact aka Grand Millennial. Same style, different label for the clueless. Still not considered a trend in that case. Grand Millennial is a new label for an old style.
Unoriginal and bought. Which is fine. Celebrities can buy anything they want.Thet have multiple homes in which they don't stay long. They buy, sell, they are not attached to their homes. Is it beautiful? Yes. But it's oh so perfect that it looks manufactured and without a soul. It shows that it is not her forever home.
Shonda: How lovely! I think some of the chandeliers if not all of them are made from Murano glass....just terrific! Wishing you many, many years of creativity and joy in your beautiful home!
Her style reminds me of what some may call “old money”. Even tho it isn’t my style, I can really appreciate how perfectly placed everything is and beautiful the place is
@@JP0411 old money doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have old items in the house lol. It’s just the design style, it’s elegant, colourful and maximum rather than being sleek and minimal.
@@HM-xi5zilol like I said I see what op means. It does give old coloni British inspired interior and style particularly for an apartment, however the kitchen and bedroom decor for example or the room with baby blue walls but yellow curtains with modern lamps and light fixtures. not so much
Michael Smith has a lock on recreating that old NY money style. I love how casual she is about it. That laid back attitude screams old money, as well. LOL
This made my heart quiver. Elegant taste. The choices tell me classy, seemingly formal, yet witty (the art). Also, the juxtaposition of muted, soft decor colors in the home of a woman who writes dialog for so many outspoken characters tell us Shonda is multi-dimensional. Like bold and soft know how to harmoniously coexist.
If I was blessed to be invited to Ms. Rhimes apartment, it would turn into a three hour tour, as I lost myself into those lovely paintings, and soaked in the beauty of it all.
What an elegant, yet comfortable, home. It's hard to believe Shonda acquired all new furniture for this apartment. Michael Smith did a great job of picking eclectic pieces that look collected over time.
This was absolutely one of my FAVORITE AD showcases. The English Countryside aesthetic was amazing! I love everything about her apartment. Following Michael S. Smith...starting now!!
A beautiful example of true eclecticism. There's something about it that reminds me of the regal styling of Versailles. I LOVE the Walter Williams paintings.
I love this apartment, the proportions of the rooms are perfect and i actually love the styles. This apartment oozes coziness and just reminds me of summer.😍
On first glance I thought I wouldn’t like it but as the tour went on this home is actually very cohesive and beautifully styled. Shonda is as charming as her home. 🤍
I really miss her. Such a great soul. Her energy was so so good, but my immaturity was too much. Nice spot, but her LA home is a real gem. Keep doing your thing, Bella.
Blown away by the beautiful wallpaper that seems to pull many of the rooms rooms together. Especially the paper in the living room. A gorgeous choice! Having recently moved I am about to become a wallpaper freak. Thank you for the inspiration and the tour of your beautiful apartment!
Oh, my gosh - do I LOVE Shonda! This just makes my hear sing, I've saved it so I can watch again later. So light and airy; sophisticated and cosy. It's glamorous and welcoming. I just adore those light fixtures and I love how much thought she has put into making everything beautiful, enjoyable and functional. What a treat. Thank you, AD - and thank you, Shonda, for sharing!
This apartment is not only beautifully styled but warm and bright and so interesting. The glass cabinets in the kitchen are very smart. The wallpapers are beautiful and the paper in the kitchen adds such a pretty focal point. I could go on and on about the stunning lighting fixtures and the artwork and just everything!
Too busy and fussy for me. But I appreciate how much time and energy she put into décor that matches her vibe and personality. She clearly loves this place and it makes her happy.
The wallpaper is overwhelming for me with all the eclectic items. I can appreciate lots of the items but that wallpaper has my head on overload. It seems to make her happy. 🥰
I really enjoyed watching this video. It gave me such a sense of joy seeing Shonda Rhimes sharing her space. I could not help but think this lady has perfected her craft, and now she is enjoying the fruits of her labor w/ her kids. .. going from mom kitchen ,to recreating a kitchen of her own that brings the same joy she had as a child is pretty spectacular.
Well, THAT was a generous tour. Well thought out, comfortable and cozy. I clicked on it because I guess I’m a fan (and read her book about saying yes 👍🏼 for a year). She has an outstanding art collection , ( now I’m going to be really into wallpaper ) and also loved how she had the lighting. The Murphy bed TV was a good thought as well (with its own bath 🛁) . Thanks for sharing.
