I want every last one of you to RUN to your newsstand and pick up the July/August issue of House Beautiful because mi amigo David Kaihoi, a.k.a Lil' Sip o' Jesus, a.k.a. Mugatu's current right hand man, has his apartment on the cover!!!! I die die DIE at its chicness!!!!!!!
He and his family occupy 390 square feet smack dab in the middle of Bohemia, or Avenue C in the East Village, and prove that style and storage can go-hand-in-hand. And since David's humility is only surpassed by his talent I'll give you a little backstory: DIY doesn't begin to cover it where Doodad is concerned. This apartment was a character-free white box when they moved in -- those hefty window and door casings? David installed them. That tufted corner banquette? He built and upholstered it himself. Same for the headboard and kiddie trundle, plus he took on the Chinese wallpaper hanging and patching, all the painting AND most of the artwork (he's also a brilliant collage artist and sculptor) ...
I got exhausted just writing that. Oh and did I mention David and his wife, Chic Monique, both work full-time and have an adorable three-year old? I want to be reincarnated as Mirabelle in my next life just to wear her little outfits. These folks have hipster style and Midwestern soul and I love them to pieces. Biggest kudos ever, Davey!!!!!

Miles Redd LLC will go down in history as the 1960s Motown of interior decorating. So much talent coming out of that joint.
ReplyDeleteThis is really inspiring, and I don't usually give much thought to this magazine. I may just have to investigate if it has the Nickels Seal O' Approval.

ReplyDeleteWhere oh where did they find that exquisite export wallpaper? It looks like the real deal, and if so would be worth the value of the apartment ... very, very jealous.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing apartment. I'll be thinking of that wallpaper for a long time (the red closet)!
ReplyDeleteI'll never get tired of your humor man.

I agree, for the most part, but don’t you feel as if the issue is more complex than that?
