  • Today on Homeworthy, one of our favorite hosts, designer Alex Papachristidis, pays a visit to his friend, Elizabeth Pyne Singer, on the Upper East Side of New York. Design runs deep in Elizabeth's family--three generations of women---Elizabeth, her mother and her late grandmother have all worked and helped to shape the revered decorating firm, McMillen Inc., now celebrating its 100th year in business. Today we're touring Elizabeth's stunning apartment which required two years of gut renovations. Now it's a collected jewel box perfect for her young family of four.

    “So pretty” in Alex’s voice 😂. Alex the re-directing expert. Full disclosure, a presenter doing a tour of a friend’s house …the love is real ..”you’re always chic and divine..you always look so beautiful “ Alex says…down to the body language between them ❤

    I love when Alex hosts tours with friends. He seems like such a sweet friend and knows how to bring out the best in people. The apartment was beautiful, I especially loved the gorgeous wallpaper in the bedroom. Clementine was such a cutie. I did not mind the barking, because that is just life! 💗

    I love Alex as a presenter! He gently guides back to topic. There was a few times when she was going on a tangent about her mother (therapy anyone, lol) and he comes to the rescue keeping it about the home.

    • @susanmark2000
      @susanmark2000 Před měsícem +1

      I noticed that too. Sadly, this woman's mother is super controlling and she is doing that to her own daughter. She said she has tried to throw out her own daughter's creations, just like her mother wrestles with her over what she places in her space. She will likely ship her own kids off to boarding school when they get too old to share a bedroom.

    This was definitely a divine treat! I loved every word and really enjoyed Elizabeth's narrative - especially the family "discussions" - took me back to my mother objecting to my toilet paper being over rather than under - ha! Mothers and daughters! Of course, I can never get enough of Alex! I truly left my home and was with you both on this stand-out Homeworthy! Thank you so much 😊

      Mother told me of an article written in a 1950's ladies magazine . Mamie Eisenhower recalled with great embarrassment that as a young bride she gave a dinner party and used every single piece of her wedding sterling tableware. The other guests were appalled by her nouveau ostentation. She never forgot the embarrassment, or made the same mistake again. Choose carefully!

    • @fishercourt
      @fishercourt Před měsícem

      @@jenniferlynn3537yeah, you can tell he knows exactly what each item is from and the history behind each item. I think he did a great job when dealing with someone that comes across as a whiny, privileged person who has major “mom” issues. I hope she finds her way, and grows up. She deserves to live the way she chooses without so much hatred from her mom’s negativity. Maybe after her mom watched this video, they will be able to get some therapy and learn to navigate their own worlds without hurting one another.

  • @fishercourt
    @fishercourt Před měsícem +2

    Someone really has “mommy issues”. If I were a lady with class, I would NEVER speak so disrespectful about your own mother who has graciously given you so many items in your apartment. You literally cannot even realize that you come across as a whiny little baby, who plays the victim-card. Shame on you for speaking so unkind about your own mother. Just because she doesn’t like the same type of interior design as you do, doesn’t give you the right to say so many unkind comments about your mom not liking the way you decorated your own apartment.
    I really enjoyed Alex, this host was so sweet and authentic in his interview skills. He really knows how to keep the owner on track, without using rude comments. He is very knowledgeable about the antique and vintage hand-me downs that she is so privileged to have in her apartment. Please don’t pick owners like her. She is so nervous and really cares way too much in her mom’s opinion about her choices.
    Here’s some practical advice to the homeowner, 🎵”Let it go”🎵
