Manhattan Actress Arden Myrin Wants You to Take Her Home!

Irwin Weiner ASID - I'm addicted now to SPACEStv. They're a YouTube channel devoted to interior design videos. I wanted to share one of their vids with you - NYC/LA actress Arden Myrin is a comic, sassy presence on the interior design video scene and she asks complete strangers to "Take Me Home," picking folks off the streets and taking potluck that she'll get a tour of a great private living space.

Her Russian Roulette street gamble pays off in spades in today's featured video as she encounters, Jeff, a well-to-do Upper West Side Manhattan ... bricklayer? His tricked-out apartment is filled with gadgets and goodies, particularly in the multiple-showerhead master bathroom, Crestron control center, and light-up agate countertops in the kitchen.

New York City Luxury Apartment Tour - Charles Street with Amy Lau

Irwin Weiner ASID - There's no contest that interior designer Amy Lau is at the top of our profession. Her skills and design sense are unparalleled. And that's why I think it's wonderful that Corcoran Realty teamed up with 1stDibs and several top designers to videotape luxury property tours, showcasing reactions from top decorators like Amy.

It promotes the real estate inventory in the City - yes, that's a given - but it also gives us the guilty pleasure of walking through these hallowed, prestige spaces guided by designers who know what's good when they see it. Amy tells us what she loves about this apartment in the prestige Richard Meier complex at 165 Charles Street. This property has already sold, but who cares? Let's take the tour ... as if we were in the market for this primo pad.

Muchas Gracias, Casas & Gente Magazine

Jay Johnson - Design2Share is proud of our resident interior design expert Irwin Weiner ASID. Congratulations, Irwin, on having one of your stunning Central Park West interiors featured as the cover image and one of the featured stories in the March 2012 issue of Casas & Gente, the celebrated Spanish language version of Town & Country magazine, published in Mexico City. 

The Casas & Gente article is titled "Estilo en Manhattan" ("Style in Manhattan"), and Irwin's work shows a vibrant, colorful confidence that fits his husband-and-wife clients like a glove. The homeowners are accomplished professionals, and art and sculpture is their passion. The furnishings reflect the sculptural timelessness of the couple's taste. All photographs of their completely renovated apartment were taken by Chris Cooper, noted photographer of architectural and interior design subjects. 

Part of the story about decorating this chic apartment is the reuse of some key furnishings from an earlier job that Irwin completed for the clients. The reuse of existing elements is vital to the successful on-budget completion of today's professional interior design projects, and the magazine asked Irwin to write a quick poem about his philosophy on "interior design thrift."

Think before you spend.
Creativity knows no end.
You'll do it for a while,
that you should live with style!
