That couch is iconic. I love when people purchase vintage design furniture. I'd love to have the budget for it :)
Unfortunately everyone has it now ..so trendy
Where is the couch from?
@@katrinakovtunovich where is it from? it's a classic and iconic mario bellini sofa.
@@katrinakovtunovich it’s called the Camaleonda by Bellini
@@js3399 No need to be pompous arse about it. Not even you were born with that knowledge. You were told once.
The house, of course, but i just need to have that blouse!!
Its Georgia Alice! Its called the 'Mia' top
I know right! Loooove her outfit
IKR?!
are you serious?
Blouse in a house!
She has such a sophisticated/cool taste, gorgeous house
This house is totally my aesthetic. I would move in in a heartbeat!
Who wouldn't lol
same. i wanna live here .
I only clicked because of the couch.
I wonder how much is it!!!!?
15k+
Yes! I love that couch too!
The Mango same
Same.
This home, (spectacularly well done!) has the combination I love: Light, white and breezy, contrasting with dark and moody.
All you need is a spare $10M.
the kitchen is to die for omg Love!
so just the kitchen!!!!
At the beginning of this video I was rolling my eyes and was thinking here we go, another obnoxious privileged person with abnormal taste. Then it becomes clear, this is a woman who is genuinely excited about her work, decorating and design, having a wonderful home and just being a multifaceted creative. Congratulations to her for finding ways to get her passions and projects through.
Wow agreed
thank god for this comment
Couldn’t agree more
I have clippings of her old/earlier interior design work and she’s amazing.
Agreed. If we had the funds, most of us would do stuff like this.
Always seen the picture of the kitchen & the living room everywhere in my IG and I'm obsessed! Never thought that it would came from the same house. A very beutiful space indeed!
The best coloniser/ gentrifier interiors I've seen in a while, bravo
I came here to check out this home after listening to her really wonderful and insightful conversation with Gwyneth Paltow on the GOOP podcast.
They were fortunate with the light on this day - it really sets the interior colours off beautifully.
The folding glass doors off the kitchen are the coolest. Love the 3rd floor family room - but then again, what DON'T I love about this house?
Lili White Literally cool. I can’t imagine how drafty it gets in the winter with a single, thin pane of glass on those doors. The ease with which she opened them is proof how lightweight they are. There’s a reason it’s a California concept...
@@emiliabolsas They are most likely double glazed, or maybe even triple. They're even seen on some not so wealthy U.K homes, so they must not be too bad. :)
This home is stunninngggg. So tasteful done. Love it.
The sofa😻😻
camaleonda by mario bellini
Like how do you get a sofa from 70s in that condition.
It's so beautiful. I'm so impressed by how she combines classic decorative style and modern furniture. She made a lot of bold choices including choosing black objects in the middle of white walls, and it works amazingly. This is the house I want to live in. Everything is a piece of art.
I love how she interprets modern in this home. There is so much texture and interesting structures in the house. Gorgeous!!!
I just keep pinning pictures of her home over and over again, I just cannot get enough of her amazing talent! Such an inspiration!
Impeccable style and taste. I want that book!
I am obsessed with this girls aesthetic!! WOW
I love the way she puts all her colours, textures and materials. It all ties in together with the furniture she graded it utterly beautifully with soft and hard edges. She kept the historic features of the town house and I really appreciate that she spent time restoring the beauty of the home. Her bathroom is so amazing mixing creams, whites, textures and I love her stand alone bath tub it complements the beauty of the room. Bathrooms can get boring but she kept it visually interesting it doesn't feel generic in anyway shape or form and that is what makes your home unique.
This home is spectacular. Not boring, very homie, and has loads of personality. Her house isn’t stuffy. It’s not a museum. The way she was sitting on her couch lets us know she’s not too precious. Her home isn’t like that.
It’s so stunning. One of my favorites I’ve seen in a long time.
Her home is nothing short of stunning but I must say her articulations of the space was mesmerizing...😍
she was on budget?? does she knows what that means?.......... anyway this budget home looks nice
Rich peoples budgets are funny.
As the saying goes, the rich are different from us.
What is seen as expensive truly depends on the person's income.
@@shannoncarr7338 . Right. Bc all the furniture in her living room alone is about 20k.
leona paric A million dollar budget! How she must have suffered!
I wish this were longer. I have been following Athena since I found her on Style like you, I have been wanting to see her townhouse forever. I would love to have her budget.
Her house is perfection. Not cluttered but not bare. The right amount of furniture, utility, and design combined so effortlessly. The general flow of the home is so warm and inviting. 😍
Apparatus marble table in her living room retails for $19400...oN A bUdGeT
Mohammed Al Mufarej her blouse is almost $500. More expensive than some tables I've bought
Athenäs I hear you but..... NO. Sorry, even when working in the fashion industry in NYC and working at (only after being a lifelong customer of the same) Bergdorf’s more “mainstream” sister store (rhymes with “Needless Markups”) I can tell you that EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE MONEY THEN GOD just winced at that astronomical $ NINETEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR price tag on the “quirky and suggestively approachable because it’s vintage” vintage coffee table. I’ve watched a customer spend an easy $10,000 in a couple of hours afternoon on the third floor (read: where the super expensive designer shit is located- like Bruno Cuchinelli and The Row and Balenciaga and ..... you know, Donna Karan (her actual designer line obviously) - oh and an insane and absolutely preposterous luxury fur vault for clearly all of the below 60 degree days we EVER HAVE here (that and re-enacting Dr. Shivago on an ALWAYS EMPTY Sunday work hours or the GHOST TOWN that is ALL OF JULY also...... the place is good though at giving the people what they want, though, like that customer I was trailing about before, and I’m here to tell you, don’t think she wasn’t telling her sales person (who happened to be family- it actually doesn’t happen THAT often) to grab her some good pre-Xmas Presale because I don’t care how rich you are- universally EVERYONE knows the sharp pain and agony of those Vince leather pants and/or iconic leather jacket full on price tag full price stabbing that is $1200-$2000!!!! I mean come the F on, Vince! What am I??!?!! made of money????! Lol. 🤷🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
you do realize a budget doesn't have to be cheap right she could have a million dollar budget and if she didn't go over she would still be in budget
@@lovelyjanuary I'm one of those persons that can afford a 20k coffee table and that buys bags of 15k. And I live surrounded of people that can do the same. So, let me give my 2 cents... I really dont care about the price of the bags as they dont go in Sales, but all the rest of my clothes I buy in off-price. I wait until is end of season to grab most of my clothes and shoes. ONLY because I see no point on paying double for something that in 2 months will cost half or less. But yes, I do have 20-40k pieces of furniture in my house. Pieces that are timeless and last forever are worth the tag. I generally spend about 100k per year in bags, shoes, clothes and accessories, sometimes I spend 30k in one single day shopping around. Still, when I renovate one of our houses I do it on a budget (whatever the budget is, most of the times is 200-400k). But without having a budget and with so many beautiful things on the market it would be 5x more. So, budget means something different for everyone.
@@allwhatilove914 lol you sound utterly ridiculous
When someone describes their home as "the town house" I'm led to believe that they have another quite, equally opulent country house...... that's that money talk right there and I'm jealous, stuck in a tiny quarantine flat 😭.
Same here. Same. 😢
She does. One in Long Island.
@@1stdaughter I wouldn't expect less 😂.
@@iwasbornunderwater one day Linda.... just one day 🤞🏾.
This is absolutely beautiful and so tasteful.
*comment for all the people rolling their eyes at the budgeting comment: budgeting is proportional to one's resources, its personal, and it's about allocating your resources smartly.
I just bought Athena's book "Live Beautiful".
It's looks so nice on my coffee table in the living room. The book is filled with many pages of diverse interior design.
A good read.
I love it!
When I saw the wall of windows in the kitchen I fell in love. But when you mentioned they were bi-fold doors I lost it. Those are some cool doors.
Your place is uniquely designed.
Absolutely gorgeous. I have seen hundreds of interior design videos. This home is a jewel and I love everything about it. The kitchen is breathtaking but my favourite space in this home is the family room/library. Very dark, moody and sexy. I would spend all my evenings there if I lived in that home.This is big wow for me.
She's sweet with a sense of eclectic fashion!! Did her hair a couple of years ago for fashion week while she was living in Dumbo. Glad to see that she's doing well! Xx
oh so she's got BREAD bread
I Cackled.
is it gluten free though?! hahah
Yuuuuuup
@@blackfeminism this
rye to be exact
More tour of home and less looking at her. We really did't see much of house. A couple quick looks.
Beautiful bathroom with the fireplace, pink stone shower, the placement of the tub. Super romantic!
Ugh she’s my style hero love everything about her !!! I’m doing a happy dance lol
Love high contrast home spaces!
Elizabeth Roberts The architect did a fabulous job yes your taste is exquisite
I always want more of these! Keep them coming- quick smart! X
Athena nothing less then gorgeous elegant and classic beauty.
Wow! I love this home. So well done. Classic but not boring. Homey but clean
The way she talks about each piece & area of her home really shows how much passion & love she put in it. I can listen to her talk endlessly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Get off my sofa lady!! Thanks🤣🙏🏽 I’m so in love with it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the interior, the furnitures, and just the elegance feeling of the home!💎
Hey NEW YORK MAGAZINE: If you can, you should desperately try to get a tour of the home of Artist Cordy Ryman, a son of the late Robert Ryman. He and his wife have an entire building to themselves in the west village that they completely renovated several years ago.. The interior is stupendous.
Modern and retaining the historical character , amazing !
I could never afford to live like this, but wow. This is breathtaking.
Never say never
slick lifestyle Lol this is the problem with people. Wake up to reality and the world around you
Love, love, love it! That sofa is amazing!
The way she speaks about her home gives me butterflies. You could tell every piece was thoughtfully considered and brings her so much happiness.
Thank you sharing your beautiful home.
YES! I love Athena’s home! So happy to have it on video!
Thank you for another great visit to an amazing home.
Wow! Just blown away by this piece.... loved every minute of it. ❤️
She’s stunning and amazing fashion . This one photo of her and Jenne Lombardo - it’s one of my favorite outfits of all time
Absolutely beautiful. I love her style
This brownstone, the furniture, her style. Absolutely stunning.
Her home is just beautiful
How cool is it to have Mrs. Calderone share her amazing talent, educating on what goes well together; is very important. Thank you!
2:13 right there l Loved and pinned that corner on my Pinterest for so many times... just timelessly simple and out of this world tranquil.
Love Athena...and you Wendy...thank you for your marvelous tours of interesting peoples homes.
It's so refreshing to see a home done with actual taste and knowledge about design & materiality, rather than just homes that follow a fad or a theme, totally lacking personality. This home is sophisticated & timeless.
And now everyone is copying her
Beautifully designed. Very talented lady 🏅
I love her house. So calm and cozy.
Absolutely breathtaking.
My God this is absolutely stunning! The pink marble in the shower is beautiful and the cozy lounge area on the top floor is so cool.
STUNNING house!!!
Wow so gorgeous! 100% my style! So elegant eclectic and balanced! Love LOVE!
This is Athena's 8th house, that she has rehabbed and it's beauriful! Her budget and my budget, are 2 different things! I love the pink marbling in her bathroom! Mine, fake marble ceramic tiles from Menards or Home Depot! lol
Absolute class and sophistication. I am so inspired.
Thank you for sharing your world with us all.
Such a beautiful home
Your house is amazing. I wish you & your family the best.
Probably the most beautiful house I've seen in NYC!
