Full Show: Astounding Abodes Filled with Innovative Style | Open House TV

Join Open House host Sara Gore for a look inside five impeccable homes in New York and California that are filled with style, comfort, and innovative details.

First up: a stop at 111 West 57th St to tour a bespoke 3873 sq. ft. penthouse in midtown Manhattan, designed by interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas, that captures the glamour and excitement of New York City. From the impressive foyer with its eye-catching pieces that set the stage for the dynamism of the space to the dining room featuring a frosted table held up by plasters of rock formations as a base, and from the primary bedroom with its abstracted pastoral vibe, low-profile bed to maximize the wall space, and stainless steel platform for added edge to the Great Room with its magnificent views of Central Park, transparent coffee table decorated with books and solid ceramic vases, and muted sofa with pops of lime green color that capture the natural scenery outside, this 3-bedroom residence is filled with a blend of elegant yet unexpected touches. As Cárdenas himself best puts it: This apartment is my 1988 fantasy with its acid green and orange color palette and this view that I'm been waiting for — and it's all hurled into the future.

Care for a visit to sunny Beverly Hills, California for a tour of 2650 Benedict Canyon Drive led by real estate agent Matt Altman? This luxurious 16,390 sq. ft. architectural compound has it all: Expansive living area flooded with natural light? ✔️ Open-floor concept that seamlessly blends indoor/outdoor elements? ✔️ Floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the surrounding mountains? ✔️ This 7 bedroom, 11-bath estate truly combines unparalleled contemporary design with state-of-the art interiors and cinematic style.

After that, we return to the East Coast for a visit to the renowned Tribeca penthouse of lighting and furniture designer Lee Broom. A fitting celebration of his innovative style and elegant aesthetic (a modernist take on classic decor), this duplex residence, which occupies the fifth and sixth floors of a historic cast iron building in downtown NYC and serves as the designer’s residence and appointment-only showroom, features an abundance of natural light, flow, and unique creations inspired by the architecture of the 3,000 sq. ft. space as well as New York City itself.

We then fly back to the West Coast to join interior designer Tamarra Younis (founder of Union of Art) at one of her recent projects: a mid-century home nestled in the hills of Studio City — that she transformed for Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel and his family — that is as delightfully comfortable as it is creative with its custom-made furniture, bold pops of color, and collection of personal and vintage decor pieces.

Finally, we find ourselves in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn for a visit with architect Simon Arnolds. Arnolds was tasked with renovating a top-floor duplex in a former Romanesque mansion. He opened up the space to give it warmth and reflect modern sensibilities (namely, by removing the dividing walls, exposing the ceiling structure, and staining the exposed wood with black pigment and the steel a very dark gray), and in the process, uncovered plenty of of the original architectural details that he seamlessly integrated into contemporary design.

Full Episode: Sophistication Meets Creativity in Five Exquisite Homes | Open House TV

Open House host Sara Gore kicks off this week's episode in a bright & airy triplex penthouse (610 Park Ave, PH16E) on the Upper East Side. From the gallery-esque foyer to the well-defined living and dining areas with custom millwork and marble wood-burning fireplace, this 6-bedroom 7643 sq.ft. home — complete with 6 baths and a half bath — epitomizes Park Avenue luxury, craftsmanship, sophistication.

Next up: we join interior designer Alexander Doherty in the West Village for a tour of his latest project, in which he took a modern white box given to him by the developer and transforming it into an elegant home full of warmth and personable touches. This duplex apartment features a staircase with accentuated curvatures that contrasts the overall grid-like layout, main entertainment space with strong saturated colors and ample seating areas, remodeled kitchen/dining area that fuses refined polished upgrades with modern amenities, and primary bedroom that plays up a moody gray, mauve, and lavender palette to evoke a feeling of serenity.

Right after, we travel to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to join film producer Heidi Jo Markel for a look around her gorgeous residence at 1884 Lauren Canyon Blvd. This 6-bedroom/5-bath 4,888 sq. ft. home is a completely custom, modern take on Hollywood glamour, as well as a celebration of indoor/outdoor living every step of the way with the juxtaposition between the natural environment and the city. From the homage to art decor and cantilevered lounging areas to the amazing open-floor plan that's perfect for entertaining guests to the private screening room that serves as both a space for working and unwinding with a good movie, this home is as relaxing as it is stunning.

We then fly back to the East Coast to join Soman Chainani, author of the bestselling fantasy series ‘The School for Good and Evil’ — for a tour of his sunny Upper West Side abode, in which he resides in with his adorable French bulldog Douggie. During this enlightening segment, he walks us through each step of his writing process at home and invites viewers to take a closer look at his creative station, cozy zone consisting of soft blankets that are great for decompressing (an antidote to the hardness of New York City outside), ample bookshelves full of engrossing reads, and unique trinkets he’s picked up from fan, movie sets, and his travels around the world.

After, we visit the intimate Soho loft of 212 Box architectural designer Eric Clough, who has always been passionate about detailing and the way materials come together. From the use of vibrant and textured furniture fabrics in the living room to the dining room with its extraordinary marble table and custom millwork, to the corner reading nook and the modern communal kitchen with the large island ideal for gatherings, this comfortable and cohesive living space is full of unique and personable details and serves as a showcase for clients and beautiful home to entertain guests with beautiful dinners.

To round off this episode, we join artist Harlan Brandon at his lovely house in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn that combines classic architecture, including the original moldings and fireplace, with his one-of-a-kind artwork and stylish furnishings that include heirlooms and pieces from Ralph Lauren Home. This Gilded Age brownstone, built in 1910, fuses traditional fixtures and details with contemporary conveniences, starting with the etched glass windows in the foyer and the light structure that went being gas to electric. That whole transition of time is something that we are very conscious of throughout the house: the element of time and the use of time, Brandon explains. Every room in this home features a design that tells a story and offers the family the opportunity to relax, entertain, and create.

Full Episode: Sleek & Fashionable Homes | Open House TV

On this week's episode of Open House, host Sara Gore leads us through five gorgeous and unique homes located in California and New York.

First up: Sergio Mercado, an interior designer based in NYC, invites us into one of his recently completed projects: a beautiful townhouse located on a rare gated cobblestone street at Sutton Place with a private park and unobstructed river views. Inspired by the calm environment right outside, Sergio created a welcoming space for his clients that is equal parts serene and stylish — curated with low-profile furniture, curved accents, a three-stone fireplace, a balcony connected directly to the kitchen, luxurious textures and marble materials throughout, a top floor for an additional bedroom and seamless entertaining area, and an overall sleek, contemporary sense of design (including a dog spa for their rescue pups). All these subtle details create a fluid, comfortable aesthetic that make a significant impact.

Next, join lifestyle journalist Sydney Sadick as she walks us through her friend Liz Lange's gorgeous Upper East Side apartment. This full-floor family residence — an expression of the fashion designer's joyous personality and inspirational tastes — fuses style with whimsy through contrasting color and pattern, as well as modern furnishings. From the living room with its high-gloss Christian Dior gray walls, yellow throw pillows, and mirrors with metallic accents — to the dining room with its rich orange-tone walls, green velvet chairs, statement piece chandelier, and hodgepodge of fun table wear, unexpected pops of color and playful design are major themes as far as aesthetic goes in this delightful home. Other highlights? Liz's personal cocoon with its brown sofa, blue walls, and playful light fixture — as well as her tranquil bedroom suite with its spacious walk-in closet filled with stunning shoes and attire, including from pieces from the free-spirited brand Figue.

After that, interior designer Jennifer Farrell (along with her adorable pup Camper) for a tour of a beautifully transformed retreat in Calabasas California known as Calibu Vineyards. Once an abandoned Tudor-style manor, this 7263 sq ft abode now teems with light, style, and contemporary charm. It not only boasts a working vineyard and 19 rooms, but also the following wow factors: a vast living room featuring with soaring 20-ft ceilings with original molding, a hearth surrounded by a basket-weave tile, a set of basket swing chairs suspended from the ceilings for a touch of playfulness, and a John Richard chandelier that anchors the entire space; a wine tasting room and lounge with brushed gold fixtures, black cabinets with a matte finish, a seating area with warm and tactile materials, and a ping-pong table to evoke a sense of fun and sparkle; a private home theater with padded walls, 10 comfortable sofas, and a 120-inch screen; a spacious kitchen equipped with a 19-ft island wrapped in dolomite and an apron-front, fire-clay sink decorated with blue eucalyptus leaves and gold veins; and a serene yard with a casita that stores up to 80 bottles of wine and a dining area for enjoying al fresco meals under the stars with views of the Malibu Hills.

We then venture over to Los Angeles, California to join architect and designer Amanda Gunawan for a look around her thoughtfully crafted residence located in what was formerly the Nabisco factory. This bright and luxurious loft features an open-floor plan, colors and materials (including light wood and paper lanterns) that unify the space and evoke a sense of tranquility. Other points of interest include: large windows that allow for ample natural light to flow through, a collection of teas and ceramics from her travels; a neutral-colored kitchen with a huge counter to prep sushi (her favorite meal); a relaxing guest bedroom; a double-height living room that serves as the heart of the home; and a primary bedroom that was converted into a soft, tranquil sanctuary within the the industrial ruggedness of the building. Overall, the design is as harmonious as it is intentional.

To top of this episode, we travel to 18th street in Ditmas Park —a landmark district in Brooklyn — to explore a home that was a true labor of love for design enthusiasts Ken Alpert and Maytal Olsha. They completely reimagined their 1908 Victorian-style home into a bright modern retreat, which includes restoring the front porch to its original grandeur and renovating it from a 9-bedroom home into an open space — and renovating the space within as an ode to all that inspires them as artists and creators, including a principle oasis with vaulted ceilings that will make your jaw drop, brick chimney that forms an intimate wall between a Danish bookshelf and powder room; and kitchen that features unique Dutch cooking top burners (the first house in the US to do so).

Full Episode: Style & Influence in New York City and Bel Air | Open House TV

Join host Sara Gore for an Open House episode filled with breathtaking estates that redefine luxury and entertainment, as well as the impressively designed homes of style influencers.

We kick things off at 101 Warren Street, apartment 3210. What do you get when you combine two penthouses with an #AD100 designer and an award-winning staging team? This sleek abode. See firsthand how professional stager Cheryl Eisen and her talented team transformed this light-filled modern duplex in Tribeca into an entertainer’s dream home — full of light & airy low-profile furniture; simple textured rugs to create a sense of calm against the striking patterned floors — as well as clear delineation between rooms; and stylish accents (including curved pieces and sculptural chairs in the main living space to add movement, lime-green cabinetry in the kitchen for a pop of color and whimsy, and curated paintings for a modern touch) that further elevate this beautiful home’s indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic views of New York City.

Right after that, we drop by the stunning New York City apartment of lifestyle influencer, entrepreneur, and design enthusiast Patrick Janelle. Located in the vibrant Flatiron District, this stylish loft functions as both his home and office workspace — and embodies an aesthetic that dovetails Parisian elegance with country charm. From the dining room with its antique farmhouse table, midcentury chairs, brass candle scones and high ceilings that are pressed tin to the main living area with its pièce de résistance — a massive mirror that was an architectural salvage — and contemporary lounge sofa, low coffee table, and working wood-burning fireplace enveloped by an exposed brick wall, this dream home is perfect for living, working, and entertaining.

Next up: 1055 Stradella Road! Follow Rayni Williams right through the doors of a 10ft oak entryway as she shows Open House viewers around a brand-new estate in Bel Air, California — and prepare to be mesmerized by its 13.6K square feet of deluxe details. From the dramatic foyer which features a sculptural staircase and cascading chandelier to a spacious grand kitchen with a prominent curved Travertino island to the formal living room that boasts a solid stone mantle piece with built-in bookshelves, this home mixes organic elements with architectural sophistication. Complete with warm and natural finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, 3,000 lb stone soaking tub in the primary suite, and an ocean-facing terrace with an outdoor kitchen, pool area, and views that span from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, this California property exudes opulence, elegance, and the ultimate indoor/outdoor living vibes.

We then venture over to the Greenwich Village apartment of Danielle Carolan, content creator and co-host of the top-rated podcast “Gals on the Go” — or she lovingly refers to it: Hotel Danielle. Danielle’s goal when designing her home was to create a space that tells a story while exuding ultimate relaxation and luxury vibes. And she achieved this desired aesthetic through plush white couches, oak accents, and pops of color throughout. As for personal touches? There are many delightful ones to point out, including: a frame featuring her collection of matchboxes from favorite restaurants and bars, a Florida license plate from her first car ever, an enviable walk-in closet directly inspired by her obsession with ‘Hannah Montana’ while growing up, and setting up her infamous large OOTD mirror — in all its ornate glory — prominently in her main living area.

We finish the episode with a trip to restaurant entrepreneur Brenna Gilbert's lovely one bedroom apartment located in the heart of New York City’s Nolita neighborhood, which she shares with her husband Andrew and their adorable bulldog Kuma. Her ethos is no moment is to small for a celebration and you soon see this come to life as soon as you step through the door and are greeted with an abundance of verdant greenery — which Brenna purposefully placed there to serve as a breath of fresh air from the bustling city. And because her home is in such a busy area, Brenna uses a cohesive contrast of period pieces and contemporary design, as well as a comfortable and warm atmosphere through soft materials, versatile furniture, meaningful art, and a large area rug to make it feel this sanctuary more calming and zen.

FULL EPISODE: Contemporary Meets Classic in these 5 Impressive Homes | Open House TV

Join Open House host Sara Gore for a tour of five exquisite homes located in a different cities around the world. From an idyllic townhouse in the West Village to homes in Paris, Lake Tahoe, Beverly Hills — and yes, even a stop at a jaw-dropping penthouse the iconic Plaza in midtown New York City with a room inspired by Eloise — this episode features homes that are as stylish as they are impressive.

First, we meet up with Maggie Marshall at 31 Grove Street: a beautifully renovated townhouse in the heart of the West Village. This 4200 sq. ft. 19th century gem embraces the unique original details that give this residence its historic charm, while seamlessly integrating some modern updates, including a steel-and-glass staircase that runs through the entire house, a spacious chef's kitchen with views of a private garden and custom cabinetry, and an indoor/outdoor entertaining center downstairs with a wet bar.

After, we drop by 1061 Loma Vista Dr: an 8,800 sq ft masterpiece in Beverly Hills that features 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. This beautifully renovated mid-century home in Beverly Hills was originally built in 1959 by architect Rex Lotery and has since been expanded, restored, and modernized to make the most of the sunny California lifestyle. Designer and developer Philippe Nauori takes us a tour of this Corinne Calvet residence that is all about maximalist minimalism with its clean sleek lines, meticulous landscaping and vegetation, relaxing pool oasis inspired by a Brazilian paradise, original woodwork that makes the most of natural light, and unique art pieces.

Then, we zip over to a glamorous corner duplex inside the private residences at the iconic Plaza Hotel. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom beauty spans well over 3500 sq ft with original historical details mixing seamlessly with eye-catching modern decor, designed by professional stager Jason Saft. From the massive great room that Saft segmented into four distinct zones — including an area for relaxation and take in views of Central Park and a entertaining space with a custom bar that's anchored with a circular rug, round coffee tables, and four mirrors to make it feel less boxy and reflect light — to a dining room that underwent a dramatic transformation into a jewel box room that features elements from different eras, florals, and traditional touches, to a whimsical room that references the beloved children's book character Eloise on the dresser, this home exudes a certain boldness that sets it apart with a comfortable softness that makes it ideal for everyday living.

We then drop by Lake Tahoe for a look at a modern take on a classic home with an A-frame silhouette that was conceived by architect Todd Maher. We learn more about what inspired the imagining of this traditional mountain ski-cabin — aptly named Phoenix Rising after it was built from the literal ashes of a quintessential lake cottage — and how he morphed this symmetrical building into a warm and inviting abode full of geometric surprises and functional upgrades — including, but not limited to: a wood-burning fireplace in the great room, along with decorative beams and a circular multi-layered chandelier that binds the space together; a kitchen that embraces natural light and the beautiful views outside through bar seating under the cabinet window; a curved staircase for a touch of whimsey; and an intricate roofing pattern that is applied indoors as well.

Finally, we end the episode in Paris, France! Interior designer Elliot Barnes shows us around one of his newest projects: a full gut renovation of an elegant 19th century townhouse right in the heart of Paris's 16th for a family of six — just minutes away from the Eiffel Tower. From the entrance through a private square with a charming lamp post, to the extension of the main living room that projects into the back of a tranquil garden, to the living room featuring an Italian bubble-shaped chandelier, this Parisian home beautifully dovetails traditional details with distinct modern ones.

Full Show: 5 Modern Homes with Unique Architecture & Style | Open House TV

Ready to step inside five modern marvels that feature unique architecture with style to spare? Open House host Sara Gore takes on a tour of more beautiful homes this week!

First, we meet up with architect Gregory Sharp at 153 East 30th Street to check out a renovated townhouse! Tasked with converting a multi-family home into a single-family townhouse, Sharp embraced the challenge and reimagined all 5500 square feet into a 5-bedroom, 5-bath modern abode in Kips Bay. From a formal parlor room upon entry to the seamless flow between the kitchen, living room, and backyard, this home emphasizes an open dialogue between the interior and exterior spaces.

After, we journey to downtown NYC to take a tour of Zoe Vidali and Peter Vits' NoHo home! When the architect and designer and her entrepreneur husband first bought this place, it was a typical 1980s artist loft, but they saw great potential in its massive volume. They completely gut renovated the space to take advantage of its full height and reimagined it into a tri-level home with ample room to live in. From removing the original facade and replacing it with a 3-story cast-iron window to allow for more natural light to eliminating most of the floor plates to create more spaces, including an entertaining area on the basement level that is topped off with a bar and sauna, their upgrades have allowed each floor to effortlessly blend into one another. When you have an indoor garden and a window inside of your house that allows you to look out to the rest of your loft, you just know you are dealing with a very special home!

Next, we fly down to New Orleans to join architect Nathan Fell for a tour of his one-of-a-kind Mid-City home! Fell and his family love city living but also enjoying spending time outdoors, so through a design aesthetic that emphasizes transparency, he was able to configure an indoor and outdoor dialogue that enables interaction and maximizes the building's verticality. Different types of natural materials are what makes this home unique, including 12-ft high sliding glass doors that surround the place, exposed concrete walls, walnut-clad cabinetry, black granite on the kitchen island that serves as a reflective surface, and a variety of wood to create a cooling effect throughout the home. The living room kitchen, and dining room are also all seamlessly connected and to bring life to the dark and rustic color schemes in each room, Fell found playful ways to add bold pops of colors to brighten up the space and counterbalance the otherwise more static materials. Additionally, the outdoor area is a must-see: the pool expands the entire living area and there is a roof deck with views of downtown Nola that's perfect for entertaining guests.

After this segment, we journey to 1291 Will Geer Road in Topanga, California to join estate agent and content creator Aaron Grushow for a tour of Trust Ranch (which stands for The Ranch Upon Sacred Territory). From its expansive great room with soaring wooden ceilings and panoramic views of the Santa Monica mountains to the rustic, airy kitchen with an oversized center island, custom tiles and cabinetry, and overall earthy elements that include barn doors that lead right into a multi-purpose, multi-functional project room, this magnificent 6-bedroom 17-acre estate is a true sanctuary that is perfect for enjoying quiet moments of leisure but also entertaining large groups of friends and family. If you’re aching for some natural light, fresh air, and outdoor bliss, this house and its gorgeous grounds — complete with horse stables, a private vinyard, an 1800 sq/ft open-floor plan, guest house with canyon views and patio, and an outdoor pavilion that supports the solar panels and has been used for aerial silk classes, this luxurious yet calming haven will do the trick!

We top off the episode with a tour of a charming Brooklyn home designed by NYC-based interior designer Eneia White. Featuring original details (so as to now disrupt some of the classic highlights of the home), modern silhouettes, creamy colors, and huge bay windows, this space exudes loads of casual elegance while also striking a balance between contemporary and cozy living. Overall, it feels like a warm hug at the end of a long day and showcases how whimsical details can make an otherwise traditional space really shine and flourish!

HOME TOURS: Power Couples & Jaw-dropping Design | Open House TV

Ready to explore more beautiful homes across New York and California? Open House host Sara Gore leads the way as we step into five more stunning spaces in this week's all new episode.

We kick things off with real estate gurus Tarek El Moussa & Heather Rae El Moussa, who are known for dishing out helpful tips and hacks on HGTV, invite us into their warm and spacious Newport Beach, California home that they share with their three children and adorable pup Buggy. Their vision for this renovation was a sleek hotel aesthetic, which they accomplished through custom wallpaper, a bar area that greets visitors upon stepping through the front doors and is accented with a bright statement piece chandelier, as well as black countertop and chairs, and a chic-yet-functional style that reflects their unique personalities and needs of their family.

We then step inside the stylish loft of Hannah Bronfman and Brendan Fallis. See how the entrepreneurial power couple transformed this cavernous downtown NYC factory warehouse into a contemporary dream home for them and their two young children, Preston and Claude. Since purchasing their home a little over four years ago, they have been renovating it into a triplex that includes a mezzanine level that consists of the primary suite, main level, and lower level with two bedrooms, media room, and a conservatory (atrium). Overall, they wanted to create a home that felt warm and inviting, but could also accommodate large groups for family gatherings and dinner parties — so they turned the living room into an optimal entertaining area with an open-floor setting, plush communal sofa, record bar, and large coffee table. As for one of the focal points in this expansive space is an overhead art piece light fixture called the 'floss coordinates' that's actually five different chandeliers that's been worked up into a cone and not only pulls in the brass from the mirrors left behind by the previous owner but also draws you into the center of the space.

After that, architect Leah Solk invites us into a recently completed project: a brownstone in Greenwich Village. One of her goals in renovating this historic New York City apartment (originally constructed in 1839) was to revitalize it, open it up so that you could see through it from front to back, and fill it with warmth and character — all while maintaining its architectural integrity — which results in a beautiful fusion of modernism and Greek revival elements. From the multipurpose vestibule with its whimsical 'Alice in Wonderland'-themed wallpaper to the communal living/dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that flood the area with natural light, this floor-through home offers visual flourishes along with versatile functionality.

Next: Get ready to step into an eclectic house of oddities and curiosities. Artist and animator Mike Guerena, who's worked on television series such as 'Mission Hill' and 'Bob's Burgers,' invites Open House viewers into his private home in Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California that he shares with his wife and shows us around his rare, unique, and strange collectibles. According to Guerena, who is an avid collector of art and memorabilia, guests are usually pretty shocked at all the items he's amassed over the years, but to him they are treasure finds that have more to do with creativity and personal interests than how much they're worth. I just like the way it looks — the beauty of it, he explains. I can tell you a story about every little thing on that wall.

Finally, we wrap up the episode with a trip to Bellport, New York to join designer Phillip Thomas for a tour of one of his gorgeous projects that fosters a sense of fun from the moment you walk in and was designed to share with friends and family regardless of the occasion. He shows us around his client's home which is expansive yet intimate, and encourages easy celebration inside and out.

Hi. My name is Patrik Lonn. I'm an interior designer based in New York City. And we are here today at 200 East 95th Street, located on the Upper East Side. This residence is a five bedroom, 4 and 1/2 bath, and it's about 5,000 square feet. And I would like to show you the apartment. Come along with me.

As you walk into the apartment, you find this enormous gallery and empty space. So the gallery space-- I wanted to make it as a jewelry box. So the two wallpapers-- there's one in the entry that's very beautiful from Phillip Jeffries. And it has a sparkle. It's a metallic leaf wallpaper.

And in the big gallery, because it's such a long space, I wanted the wallpaper to be more intimate. So that's also a metal leaf paper, but much more warmer in the champagne colors.

The gallery space is the spine of the apartment. And as you walk in, you find a vista that draws you back into the great room.

When you walk into the great room, you're amazed by the size of the room, the luxury feel of it, and the immense amount of light from the windows. I separated the space in two areas, one dining room area and one living room area. So the living room area has this huge, oversized sectional sofa. I like it to be very comfortable and very casual. I don't like the seating areas to be very formal.

I designed this custom millwork bookcase to really frame the living room space for art, collectibles, and books. One of my favorite features are the two chandeliers that I had custom made. And they really add a sparkle and an additional luxurious feel to the space.

The dining room table is my design, as well, and it has a beautiful, beautiful high gloss finish. And it's a rosewood that we had custom made here in the United States. And you can have fabulous dinners here. And I added some vintage chairs and custom made side chests for comfort.

The final touches to my rooms are, of course, the window treatments. And in this particular instance, it's a very, very fine sheer from Italy. And the best part is that when either you're dining or lounging, you have New York City all around you.

In this master suite, you really feel like you're a world away from the city. The bedding is from Frette, an Italian company. Very luxurious. Decorative pillows from Fortuny, which is a company from Venice. So right across from the bed, I found this beautiful, beautiful vintage round mirror that creates an additional sparkle and elegance to the room.

You can see the window treatment. They have different textures. And I have a pattern of a stripe, and then, the side panels in a silk fabric. One of the best parts to this room, of course, is the view again from the bed. You can see the East River.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of this beautiful apartment and learned that with just the right amount of sparkle and texture, you can create an elegant and livable home. See you next time.

- Hello, I'm Don Heller with The Agency and I'd like to welcome you to the penthouse at The Liddel. This penthouse is a three bed, 3.5 bath unit with open living spaces that give you expansive views of the green Holmby Hills. I can't wait to show you around.

There's an oversized skylight that bathes the entry in warm, bright light. The penthouse offers you the ultimate of privacy and exclusivity. Your breath will be taken away by the impressive wall of windows. The vaulted ceilings offer you a sense of openness, so you always feel uplifted when you're within the living area. There is a sense of intimacy because there's a connectivity between the kitchen and dining areas.

The gourmet kitchen is comprised of wood-grained Italian cabinetry. Additionally, there is an expansive island which offers seating for casual dining. And for a more refined occasion, you can invite your friends and family over to the formal dining area.

The dining area was designed for holiday and special occasion meals, and yet the connection to the outdoors offers a sense of al fresco dining. And speaking of the outside, each unit comes with a bicycle to promote exploration of the neighborhood and encourage leaving your car with the valet.

And before heading out, make sure to stop in your office. This creative space, although quaint in size, has another set of energizing windows. And with its en suite bath, you can convert this space into a beautiful guestroom.

In the penthouse suite, you can let go of all your cares. The sheer size of these windows alone will energize you every morning as you wake up. This corner of glass and light naturally harnesses the energy of the surrounding hills. The architectural designer made it this way. His vision was to create warm, organic, modern spaces. And from the looks of it, he's nailed it. And when you're really looking to unwind, the master bath will make you feel like you've escaped. Perfect for your own spa-like getaway.

Thank you for joining me at the penthouse at The Liddel. The name Liddel came from Alice in Wonderland, and you've been peering through the looking glass. See you at the next property.

An Innovative NoHo Triplex with a 27-ft Tall Atrium | Open House TV

Join Open House in downtown NYC for a full tour of Zoe Vidali and Peter Vits' NoHo home!

When the architect and designer and her entrepreneur husband first bought this place, it was a typical 1980s artist loft, but they saw great potential in its massive volume. They completely gut renovated the space to take advantage of its full height and reimagined it into a tri-level loft that feels like a townhouse, with ample room to live in. From removing the original facade and replacing it with a 3-story cast-iron window to allow for more natural light to eliminating most of the floor plates to create more spaces, including an entertaining area on the basement level that is topped off with a bar and sauna, their upgrades have allowed each floor to effortlessly blend into one another. When you have an indoor garden and a window inside of your house that allows you to look out to the rest of your loft, you just know you are dealing with a very special home!
