Inside Barbara and Kevin McLaughlin's Upper East Side Townhome
Take a step inside the wonderful world of Barbara and Kevin McLaughlin. As the Co-Founder and Creative Director of J.Mclaughlin, an American heritage brand, Kevin and his wife Barbara, President of the Fund for Park Avenue, have designed their Upper East Side townhouse, with the help of architect Doug Larson, to be as whimsical and inspiring as the dresses so famous to J.McLaughlin.
Perched in New York City’s Upper East Side, the townhouse is five stories of fabulous and inspiring design. From the bright chartreuse front door to the terrace, no detail goes unnoticed. When entering the home, visitors are greeted with an exquisite staircase covered in a wildly fantastic leopard-print runner. Latticework and mirrors envelope the entire kitchen creating a grand and expansive feeling while inviting the outdoors inside. On the fifth floor of the home, the McLaughlins worked with their architect to open up the space and inevitably created the nicest guest suite in Manhattan. The suite is essentially a penthouse sitting atop a townhouse, just as architect Doug Larson planned. Steel doors in the guest suit lead out to a terrace with a breath taking view of Midtown Manhattan.
When asked what their must-haves were in the home, Barbara said that the outdoor space and built-in bookcases in their library/study were the two elements that made this house a home for them. Barbara, an avid reader, has filled these shelves from top to bottom with exquisite literature. Keeping the home warm and inviting is a top priority. For every paint surface, they have matched it with a warm wood surface or plant.

Same. I thought, “wow this guy is cool in my book” lol
The beauty of marriage and overall happiness. Kevin is grateful and Barbara finishes his sentences. What a blessed family they are. 🥰
I think I liked them as much as I liked their townhouse.

Agreed! Such a cute couple, imagine how cool it would be to be their guest for a weekend
"Because it's not perfect, it's more inviting." I like that. I also like George Winston and a bar.

I had seen their Christmas home tour 2022 with Barbara on a different channel and fell in love with this amazing home. Watching this video, Kevin is a hoot! I loved the "I put on a little George Winston to calm me down and then I go over to the bar which really calms me down". The guy has a great sense of humor!
Such a beautiful home - everything about it I just love. Charming couple and so very gracious. Thanks for sharing with us.
Not sure what I love more! The house or Barbara and Kevin. What a lovely couple. (I struggled a bit hearing them over the music.)

I agree about the tour and how awesome Barbara and Kevin are. I also agree that the music was a little too loud. A really enjoyable video though. Thank you for sharing it!
What a completely charming couple. What a lovely home. The very best Americans….civilised, erudite and urbane……..🇬🇧
Lovely couple with a gorgeous home. I’m with Kevin - I’m not a reader like my husband but I do like pictures in a book. 😀
Love the fact home have color so many homes lack that these days.

Yes!! I have the walls in my living room and kitchen in light blue and everyone who sees it is amazed.
He got it right: “because it is not perfect it is more inviting.” I like your house and George Winston too!🥂
Your home is just lovely. What I enjoyed even more was the delightful ebb and flow of a couple finishing each others thoughts with grace and humor. Thank you for welcoming us.
Smart couple , yeah you've got a harmony welcome &cozy home.
I enjoyed this lovely couple even more than touring their lovely home.
Simply wonderful! This couple just made my list of 'Interesting people I'd love to have a drink and chat with'
They Have the best of both worlds, relaxed country living in the heart of NYC...

A nice afternoon looking at beautiful interiors!
What a beautiful couple, and stunning home!
And just like that, they made me like the ultra-rich a little bit more :)
Indeed, that guest-room was something else, I can quite imagine myself being comfortable there, and with George Winston on the speakers, I could probably stretch my stay to a whole week 😉
I love everything about their home...it’s warm and welcoming in every nook and cranny. The Art on the walls is so enjoyable to see. The color schemes flow from room to room and I just want to let out a big happy sigh “Ahhhhh” after seeing each room.
“Perfection is intimidating”, great statement! The details of this home are so lovely and inviting.
Wow!!! Wonderful tour, I really can’t tell you my favorite part, because frankly it was all spectacular. 😁❤️

New York beauty! Something we love about this home is that it is all at once so New York and so transportive!
This lovely couple and how their energy comes together is superbly reflected in their sophisticated and complex home aesthetic. Everything about this is undeniably Upper East Side -- all business, understated opulence, and intellectual gravitas. The warmth and depth of the McLaughlin marriage are felt in their way with each other and in the harmonious complexity of their decor. Quite lovely. Thank you for sharing this.
One of the most beautiful townhouses ever. Well done!
I think best tour I’ve seen yet. Great couple, incredible home.
So lovely to look at all these gorgeous homes. I would love to have my own library. Gorgeous video. Lifts the spirits!🙂
Finally a New York townhouse decorated by people with elegant restraint in taste. Beautiful pastel colors provide a calming affect and escape from the bustle of the city.
Beautiful home but the personalities of the homeowners was just lovely. Kevin made me smile and laugh.
When I tell you I love this couple!
They complement each other very well. Kevin is a character and Barbara is a calm presence. The home is a dream.
What a lovely couple.
Wow! What a very welcoming and cozy home! Very relaxed -- nothing pretentious or too precious. Just curl up and get comfortable ...indoors or out!
So many cozy elements in it
This is a beautiful welcoming cosy home. Thanks for sharing 👍🥰
What a spectacular, warm, cozy home! Lovely couple, who enjoy spending time creating an inviting home together.🌸
They have such great taste. What a lovely home.
Such a wonderful couple and home! So many pleasing aspects to their home…and the views!! Awesome.
Lovely. We love it when our guests say "You have such a comfortable home". I'm sure you hear the same over and over again!
Thanks for letting us inside your home. It’s beautiful and comfortable with a sense of warmth.
Oh Kevin you are wonderful 💕 So happy for this couple.
a house that is a home ...what a wonderful novel concept these days ...no stark no sleek and definitely no matchey matchey just beautiful things you love and enjoy and use
its not perfect, which makes it so welcoming and calming, as do the books, cultural and pattern touches, and their attitude.
I love this apartment so much, I’m watching it again for the second time!!
Your home is exquisite and exciting at every turn. Thanks for letting us enjoy it 🥰
What a smashing couple, loving the humour of a long married couple. If ever you're in the UK, pop in and see us. Beautiful home, super couple.
Beautifully complex and calming at the same time.Thanks for sharing.
All I kept thinking was…oh, how I’d like to spend an evening with this intriguing couple…bound to be fun and informative! Ps the home well reflex’s their casual sophistication.
Love it all. Oh...just realized that I love this couple's clothing line!

"Everything is a work in progress" I love that! What a great space.
Marvelous, personal house and a charming couple-What's not to love?🌞
Lovely, how can not simply sit and do nothing, but read the paper and sip tea? The reading areas are wonderful and colorful; it's a marvelous house.
It’s a gorgeous home! I love everything about it and wouldn’t change a thing.
Every room invites you to learn more and to explore and find a peaceful place within yourself. I love that idea and feeling that it inspires.
I love this...eclectic and so homely....it’s quite hard to mix like you have and get it so right...A JOB WELL DONE 💕
Perfect apartment i love it.
*LOVE that green room* !!!
Well, this is about as close to heaven on earth as I can imagine. Thank you Barbara and Kevin.

What a cute couple. They don’t take themselves too seriously.
Lovely. Had all the elements ppl long for when looking for their forever home: beautiful gardenscape, architecturally significant windows, balconies, bookshelves, high ceilings...what a dream.
I reacted emotionally to this home and this couple. Hands down my favorite home tour EVER!
Oh, this one is amazing.. It has that glimpse of Bunny Williams vibe 👍

Living room with those rattan chairs is my fav. room. Feels like 1910 Europe.
Truly stunning! So much of a green view in Manhattan! I feel like they are parents in a Wes Anderson movie (but not dysfunctional!)
I could spend a long time looking at everything in your lovely home. It seems you have an eclectic traditional MCM at times style and I am here for it.
Absolutely Gorgeous Home & Couple!!
