Get a Hobby, Jill

I'm am L-O-V-I-N-G Real Housewives of New York this season! Bethenny's happy, Ramona is bipolar, LuAnn is annoying, Jill is Jill, Alex is just there, and Kelley in Playboy (?). Amazing-ness.

I was watching last weeks episode and was kind of entranced by Jill's apartment that she had made over last season. I can't decide if it's too much, but it definitely has the flamboyant fingerprints of her gay husband all over it. I like some of the elements and color palette. But I'm not really sure... Is it perhaps trying too hard, or do I like it... It's not like I'm afraid of full on in your face glamour, but I can't decide. Hmmm. Here's some pics from the photo shoot she did last season for Traditional Home. Definitely a HUGE change from the Before shots!


Before living room

After living room


Mother of pearl tables? Yes, please. Man-art? No, thank you.

Before kitchen


After kitchen


Before master bedroom


After master. Amazing upholstered bed. Matching bedding? Not sure...


Ally's Room. Love everything but the rug and chair. Ghost chair calling.

Glam or tacky? Or both?

I can't talk about the New York Housewives apartments without mentioning Kelley's life size horse in the living room. I think her apartment sort of gives a glimpse of what it must be like in her brain. It's not that her apartment isn't cute (it totally is) but the horse, really?

  2. Love her new look. I think that fact that she took the 'before' pictures at night and the 'after' pictures during the day, added for an extra 'wow I can't believe that was her apartment before' wow. Her and her fabric store... ahhh love this show!
