Hi, I'm Bessie.

I'm Oliver, Welcome to our newly renovated new york home, which is also the at home.

Yeah, the whole idea for the living room was really to create this very grounded, modern but also very warm feelings.

So, we designed this sofa.

The sofa is called the noah and the meaning of the noah is to rest.

And we wanted the sofa to be this really, really deep set.

Everybody can sit here for people together.

We also design this beautiful coffee table, which is called the cosmo.

And each piece underneath the glass countertop is a symbol.

So it's circle, square and triangle.

So the whole vibe in this room was really to make it super cozy and really just comfortable.

But still with that new york city chic Nous playing with the darker floors and the lighter rug and also the contrasting colors of the beige sofa with the walnut wood accents.

There's something we really love in this room that we did was to do these moldings on the wall to really help lift the ceiling and create more of a space.

And it took us some time to develop the lime wash technique that we did.

Lime wash is a really great paint to use because it's also good for you.

It's got no chemicals and it creates this beautiful texture and beautiful depth and a lot of the feeling that we wanted to create which we'll see throughout the whole home is this more mediterranean feel.

And this warmth of colors and tones and textures.

So whilst the living room has that more chic element to it and chic feel these walls really help give that more painfully and softer vibe and softer effect.

So another one of our favorite pieces is this beautiful chair by Danny Kaplan.

They're all handmade in his studio in Brooklyn new york.

And when we saw it the first time, it just really gave us this feeling of this beautiful ancient chairs if it was from another place and another time and this corner we really say is the meditation the morning corner.

The light comes in the morning and it bounces into this area and bounces back onto this wall.

So it's almost like the safe space every morning that we come to one of the most important additions to the living room was this decorative fireplace.

We want to bring this concept of coziness into the environment.

And ali built this one by hand and he did this amazing venetian plaster technique.

So this deep, we call it an anthracite color, it's like a real black brown.

It's got a lot of depth to it and finished with this really beautiful wax finish and we paired this painting above the mantelpiece because really the two blacks are almost exactly the same.

They've got all this texture and dimension.

So this is the library room and something that's very special to us.

It used to be just the dining room because the way the library room connects into the kitchen, you can really be here reading and that was the idea when we developed the room that you can be here sitting open a book and really enjoy with a glass of wine, whoever works.

Usually ali cooking and I can be sitting here.

So there was nothing here, there was no bookcase, there was no library and we built this wall from scratch and it really is the showcase for all the pieces that we sell on ru dot com.

Every single piece within the home has been either curated, created or collaborated by us with different vendors from around the globe.

That's something we loved doing.

And collaborating in this amazing woman kelly from maison pledge was curating book stacks and selling them as real, complete stacks to our customers.

And obviously you've got the beautiful Schilling chair with the Ottoman called the Enzo.

So this is the chair that probably main piece in the collection.

We would say that is probably the interpretation of our famous shipping jackets where we're trying to create this kind of shape and form, kind of like a brutalist kind of concept together with the softness of the shorelines and the traditions of the walnut it lex.

Um, so the last thing we want to show in the library was this beautiful painting by lucian.

Um and it really felt like this character that owned the space and grace the space and welcomed you in and the beautiful lines had this rhythm and harmony to them that we just fell in love with.

Yeah, there so welcome to the dining room.

This dining room actually used to be our studio for many years and it was something that we knew when we first had the idea to renovate the home and make it into an R.

J.

Home was to create this space with the kitchen.

So originally the kitchen had a wall here and we really knew we wanted the sunlight to flood through and create this fluid energy between the two spaces.

And something that we have to highlight is these handmade oak wood floating walls that Ali literally made one by one rounded to create this perfect I call it the masterpiece of the homes.

It's like the backdrop to everything and it's the beautiful vessels with the paintings by Jesselyn brooks which have this really gorgeous cuba's and feel in these mix of tones and textures.

And the whole idea in this room was together.

It was the celebration of gathering, having people over being able to cook and hang out on the dining table for hours.

And this table is called the Tessa, which does mean together.

And we paired it with chairs from Ben Cusick and what we loved so much about his pieces with ours.

It's the same black walnut but with these cognac leather backs and it's almost like this lecture and the colors and tones and textures we did in here was to create this very spicy warm, mediterranean mood.

So ali spanish but we spend a lot of time both in spain and Italy and a lot of the inspiration from the home was really to create this warmth of like an ancient world mixed with all the modern elements that we have in here.

Yeah, so this is the kitchen so probably is the epicenter of the house.

For whatever reason we are in gathering always here.

So this one probably was the most important renovation process where we make it three times as we didn't find properly the texture and the color and the finish and appropriate that we were looking for.

We want to bring a little bit more kind of like a grand element into the kitchen with the island where we create this again with the venetian plaster element.

We create this kind of very like it's like kind of feeling to surrender with some within fluting the parent in some ways similar to the diner Roy that everything is connected and flowing.

So the first, the first thing that we want in the renovation of the apartment was to connect the kitchen with the dining room.

It was the first step that we did is to no can walk, opened this arch.

This wall that we thought it would be something really easy but it turned into a very complicated process but it was probably the most enjoyable thing that we did.

We also custom made these cabinets where the base is very basic but we custom made a using like a swan.

Organic paintings like chalk paint and sunny staged to bring this kind of very woody and stony looking together with the venetian plaster, a countertop.

And then another element that obviously was part of form.

Personal collections are the cutting boards and again with the three symbols attached in the in the board.

They circle the triangle on the square that symbolized three elements that run around the department.

Mhm.

Okay.

So this is the bedroom.

So probably is where we put way more energy into it because we wanted to create this kind of very sanctuary place where body and mind and spirit rest.

We build out this where everything every wire, everything is hidden.

So you don't feel anything around.

So we really curated the objects within this space to be very earthy and very soft but also have these harder angles to them.

So we've got the Giselle Hicks vessels which we had referenced downstairs with the circle, triangle square again.

And then these beautiful sculptures from regionally.

So we really played with the two tone colors and brought that into the bedding as well which is all natural linen made in europe from Belgium flax and collaborated with a brand called Sultana.

And it really the idea in here, like Ali said, was this beautiful sanctuary, but also this space where we can rest for the day, a different vibe to downstairs but still with the same harmonious feel of the same elements in the same textures that runs through the house.

So on this side of the bedroom, we worked with an artist called jenny Edgar to curate these beautiful artworks.

That's all handmade thread stitching and also carries through the same concept of circle triangle square that really runs throughout the whole house.

So we also wanted to play with the geometric forms that frame the bed and tie it into the fireplace on this side, married against the curve wolves here.

So it's got this very cocoon, soft like feeling and it's just this whole setting has this real beautiful, cozy, warm vibe to it.

So the whole feeling of this home is ready to create this experience of both something extremely cozy.

But also as if we've taken you to another place and another time and all the objects that we've either curated, collaborated or created.

We really want to share with all of you to create this experience within your home.

So thank you so much for watching uh and spending the day with us and see you soon.
