HOUSE TOUR | Interior Designer's Manhattan Apartment and his CRAZY Art Collection

HOUSE TOUR: Interior Designer Brian McCarthy's Midtown Manhattan apartment is just as enchanting as he is. Filled with eclectic treasures from his travels around the world, it exudes a graceful and tailored elegance. He takes me on a tour of his fabulous apartment and shows off some of his prized art collection--including a Warhol!
McCarthy is the author of Luminous Interiors and trained under the master designer Albert Hadley before opening up his own firm in 1991. He works on projects all over the world. Enjoy!

    What it takes to pull off this “style” is #1: have good taste and the money to allow such taste, #2 be picky and don’t compromise. The key part is 2 because you have to spend lots of time browsing and saving your favorites then elimating a few to leave just one item that you like above the other thousands you saw. That is it.

    I don't think so because the horn is going the wrong way. When you drink out of a horn, the point/tip should be down otherwise the drink will rush out onto your face.

    ​@@BouncyBrown good point, these are probably primarily designed to be decorative; don't think they were designed to be functional with lids like these. in general more recent (aka post-medieval) drinking horns are not supposed to be convenient to use, they are mostly ceremonial. google 'drinking horns', there's a long history and all sorts of shapes and sizes. the tip of the horn depends on the region and time period rather than convenience.

    Hi Elena, I stopped the video at the crocodile tables. I looked closer and thought they looked like metal tables. Now I'm not sure, but I'm sure a lot of material in his home is from animals...that gorgeous chair in the bedroom is probably animal fur. You'd think people would do better today knowing what we know about the industry and the suffering of animals. Oh well.
