So I was just perusing my drafts of half written blog entries (sheesh there are a lot of them!) and came across the photos below. I totally forgot about this place! This was an inspection of a Park Avenue apartment on the Upper East Side. Its owners only spent about two weeks of the year at the place and decided to sell. I have been in my fair share of the One Percent's homes, but this place was huge. I think the apartment has at least double the space of my parent's entire house in upstate New York. The living room alone could easily fit at least 6 copies of my bedroom inside. Word on the street informed me that the owners had purchased the place for a measly $10 mill but managed to pawn it off to its next owners for $18.5. Chump change if you ask me. Weirdly, the new owners purchased the place with all of the furnishings. Most people tend to want to do their own decorating, so that was a bit strange... But whatever, they'll probably only spend two weeks a year there as well, so why not just use the existing furniture?
Anyway, the decorations were far from my own personal style (a bit flowery and stuffy if you ask me), but rather grand and impressive nonetheless. Below is a small sampling of what I saw:
 |
| Are those Fabergé Eggs? (Just kidding, I know they're not, but still) |
 |
| I LOVE mirrored furniture. I am so totes jelly of this vanity desk! |
 |
| This is what I call a princess staircase. Can you imagine picking up your prom date as she descends these stairs?? #romantical |
 |
| No home is appropriately furnished without a stained glass biblical scene |
 |
| The family crest? |
 |
| More regal stained glass stuff. Does this remind anyone else vaguely of the crests for Ravenclaw and Griffindor?!? |
