Look Familiar? It should. This four story West Village townhouse once belonged to
Steven Gambrel and has graced the cover of Elle Decor and Steven's new book
Time and Place. I urge you to pull out your January/February 2009 issue of Elle Decor if you need to refresh your memory. I did just that last night and to be honest, I don't know if I'm horrified or intrigued by Love's updates to the historic home. It definitely has a more bohemian free-spirit feel to it. The former dining room is now prayer room and Gambrel's iconic military jacket-inspired curtains now hang over small-scale Farrow and Ball Lotus paper. Courtney made quite a few updates considering she only rented the home for 6 months. You can read all about it over at
xojane. And if you happen to have an extra $11.4M laying around the house is up sale, check out the listing
here. Any takers? I'd buy it if I could, the bones are perfection! I want to marry those mouldings and lacquered doors.

It definitely has a collected but edgy feel. I think I like Steven's version better...

That color is the perfect shade of blue! I'm loving the pretty chandeliers!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an eclectic home. I love certain touches like the artwork and large black doors.

I've always been fascinated by Love and this house is of course, totally unique and cool (just what I'd expect!)

I think it is awful. The color scheme, the art, those sofas... It looks like a dilapidated brothel.
