The ladies over at MoggitGirls asked us bloggers to treat today as Nate Day and post our favorite space designed by perennial favorite, Nate Berkus in honor of his new show debuting September 13th! I j’adore Nate, not only for his impeccable taste but also for his adorable personality and sense of humor about decorating. Oh, and his line for HSN is ridic.
Anyways, it was hard to pick one Nate project and seeing as his own home in Chicago will probably be covered over and over since it’s so perfect, I chose another project. The second I saw Katie Lee (Joel)’s kitchen in Domino I nearly went blind from the beauty. While I’m not jealous of her marriage to a man old enough to be her dad (let”s face it, pictures of them together looked hella creepy) I AM jealous of her flippin’ ridiculous West Village townhouse designed by Nate. It’s such a elegant mix of new and old and while mostly traditional, it has such a classic, bright and lived in feel to it.You can see a video tour of it HERE.
Her gold leafed dressing room was featured in Town & Country. A bit over the top, but I bet it is amazing amounts fo fun to get dressed in and the reflection must make your skin look gorgeous!
I love it all! Happy Nate Berkus Day!
All that white and natural light is very comforting. I love how it combines with the open space to make the townhouse feel HUGE.
Happy Nate Berkus day! Adore the kitchen/breakfast table by the huge glass windows…such fun!
Everything he does is amazing. I did write about his Chicago apartment. LOL.
i actually went to the test taping last tuesday in chicago at harpo studios and bethenny from rhony was his guest. he was so cute and seemed super nice! i can’t wait to start watching his show in september!

Katie is just beautiful… although her performance hosting Top Chef (pre-Padma) was pretty flat. Also, Nate is so spot on in every space I’ve seen of his. I just love the way he mixes such clean-lined simple pieces with homey comfort and organic industrial edge.
Love, love, love what Nate designed for Katie Lee.
Wonderful post for “Nate Day!”

OMG, that bathroom. To take a bath under that chandelier…SWOON!
the bathroom…. is the BEST! I agree with you Erin, Nate is a GENIUS!!
Amazing, love the flooring it really makes everything shine
Call me a hors d’oeuvre, but I’d marry a much older man for 2 years to get a house like that in the divorce! Gorgeous, and in the West Village no less….
I love this inspiring house! I want to take a bath in that tub RIGHT NOW!
I love OTT, would have loved to have a dressing room like that (or any dressing room for that sake, lol :))

Thanks so much for participating in NateDay! We are so excited by the response! I love Katie Lee’s space, just gorgeous!
You were so right about everyone doing the Chicago apt., even I went there for part of the post… Love the beautiful Kate Lee home Nate did, simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it!
That kitchen is amazing! It’s one of my top three!
Hello bathroom!!! That tub would be the most lounged spot in my life.
Thanks for adding the creepy Katie Lee Billy Joel thing. It always made feel ick…& was not surprised that they divorced.
katie lee did it for love.
love of things.
