  Maybe one of my favorite tours ever; fun, unbothered, unpretentious, but so chic and elevated! Loved the portrait of her grandparents and the bar built into the bookshelves. Lovely!

  Clearly designed by her! often i wonder if the person paid another decorator and then takes credit. Well done Phoebe!

  I have my parents couch in my living room. They had a regular date night when 1st married.  They found a couch they liked but couldn’t afford and would visit it after dinner on each date.  Eventually, a sales associate at the store befriended them.  He told them it would go on clearance sales months and months after they 1st discovered it.  That was in 1948.  I think of my young parents every day thanks to it.  I get why you cherish your grandparents furniture.

  Having her grandparents in the kitchen like that is beautiful 🥹

  This apartment is more evidence that the line between "looking designed" and "just a normal home" is getting more and more blurred.

  Obsessed. It’s SO well done, I’m especially enamoured by the glossy hallway, the bookcase/bar and the exquisite bathroom tiles. I also love that she isn’t precious about her beautiful home. Homes are meant to be lived in - a scratch, stain or indent isn’t going ruin something already glorious. Also her grandmother was absolutely beautiful, wow, what chic grandparents 😍

  Great example of the power of good interior design. If you take away all the decor and furnishings, this is a dark, cramped, small flat with difficult walls. Her impeccable design taste has turned it into a beautiful but very comfortable and uncontrived, spacious-looking home. Perfect!

  Great ideas and style not overly flowery and or clutter a collection of interesting pieces and some very well chosen to fit and maximize storage and or use. I like the library bar :) also the lived in look it's a home not a museum. It tells a story as it should. well done Phoebe

  Enjoyed your colour choices and the fact that you &apos;live&apos; in it; your guests must appreciate that! &nbsp;<br>Delightful to include your grandparents and their lounge.
