Full Episode: Style & Influence in New York City and Bel Air | Open House TV

Full Episode: Style & Influence in New York City and Bel Air | Open House TV

Join host Sara Gore for an Open House episode filled with breathtaking estates that redefine luxury and entertainment, as well as the impressively designed homes of style influencers.

We kick things off at 101 Warren Street, apartment 3210. What do you get when you combine two penthouses with an #AD100 designer and an award-winning staging team? This sleek abode. See firsthand how professional stager Cheryl Eisen and her talented team transformed this light-filled modern duplex in Tribeca into an entertainer’s dream home — full of light & airy low-profile furniture; simple textured rugs to create a sense of calm against the striking patterned floors — as well as clear delineation between rooms; and stylish accents (including curved pieces and sculptural chairs in the main living space to add movement, lime-green cabinetry in the kitchen for a pop of color and whimsy, and curated paintings for a modern touch) that further elevate this beautiful home’s indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic views of New York City.

Right after that, we drop by the stunning New York City apartment of lifestyle influencer, entrepreneur, and design enthusiast Patrick Janelle. Located in the vibrant Flatiron District, this stylish loft functions as both his home and office workspace — and embodies an aesthetic that dovetails Parisian elegance with country charm. From the dining room with its antique farmhouse table, midcentury chairs, brass candle scones and high ceilings that are pressed tin to the main living area with its pièce de résistance — a massive mirror that was an architectural salvage — and contemporary lounge sofa, low coffee table, and working wood-burning fireplace enveloped by an exposed brick wall, this dream home is perfect for living, working, and entertaining.

Next up: 1055 Stradella Road! Follow Rayni Williams right through the doors of a 10ft oak entryway as she shows Open House viewers around a brand-new estate in Bel Air, California — and prepare to be mesmerized by its 13.6K square feet of deluxe details. From the dramatic foyer which features a sculptural staircase and cascading chandelier to a spacious grand kitchen with a prominent curved Travertino island to the formal living room that boasts a solid stone mantle piece with built-in bookshelves, this home mixes organic elements with architectural sophistication. Complete with warm and natural finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, 3,000 lb stone soaking tub in the primary suite, and an ocean-facing terrace with an outdoor kitchen, pool area, and views that span from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, this California property exudes opulence, elegance, and the ultimate indoor/outdoor living vibes.

We then venture over to the Greenwich Village apartment of Danielle Carolan, content creator and co-host of the top-rated podcast “Gals on the Go” — or she lovingly refers to it: Hotel Danielle. Danielle’s goal when designing her home was to create a space that tells a story while exuding ultimate relaxation and luxury vibes. And she achieved this desired aesthetic through plush white couches, oak accents, and pops of color throughout. As for personal touches? There are many delightful ones to point out, including: a frame featuring her collection of matchboxes from favorite restaurants and bars, a Florida license plate from her first car ever, an enviable walk-in closet directly inspired by her obsession with ‘Hannah Montana’ while growing up, and setting up her infamous large OOTD mirror — in all its ornate glory — prominently in her main living area.

We finish the episode with a trip to restaurant entrepreneur Brenna Gilbert’s lovely one bedroom apartment located in the heart of New York City’s Nolita neighborhood, which she shares with her husband Andrew and their adorable bulldog Kuma. Her ethos is “no moment is to small for a celebration” and you soon see this come to life as soon as you step through the door and are greeted with an abundance of verdant greenery — which Brenna purposefully placed there to serve as a breath of fresh air from the bustling city. And because her home is in such a busy area, Brenna uses a cohesive contrast of period pieces and contemporary design, as well as a comfortable and warm atmosphere through soft materials, versatile furniture, meaningful art, and a large area rug to make it feel this sanctuary more calming and zen.

Full Episode: The Best of California Living & Design | Open House TV

Join Open House host Sara Gore for a look around some of the most stunning and luxurious homes in the sunny state of California.

First, we drop by a brand-new, amenity-rich estate in Bel Air, where we link up with Sally Forster Jones for a full tour. This symphonic, cinematic, and geometrically stunning 18,500 sq. ft. home, located at 1116 Chantilly Road, boasts 18,500 sq. ft. with 19 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and 5 half-baths — and in case that was not impressive enough, El Canto del Agua (its nickname which means “Song of the Water) with all its modern elegance, masterful craftsmanship using choice materials, and remarkable architectural beauty, was also inspired by art (including aspects of a Mayan pyramid) and exists in harmony with the natural Los Angeles fauna surrounding it. It also features a voluminous great room with a 30 ft. ceiling adorned with twinkling lights and views of a multi-tiered outdoor pool as its main focal points; an indoor cinema complete with stadium seating for up to twenty guests; a primary suite that offers a relaxing escape from the outside world with its centerpiece fireplace, ample space, and en-suite spa-inspired bathroom; a state-of-the art gourmand kitchen equipped with Italian cabinetry, a chef’s preparation galley, and two main islands topped with live-edge red wood imported from the tropical rainforests of Brazil; a grand family room that is ideal for intimate gatherings and entertaining guests, thanks in part to its large Venetian plaster bar and floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar; a private gym (perfect for lifting weights and meditation) and a serene spa featuring a Roman bath; and a jaw-dropping backyard set against the picturesque hills with a patio area with lots of seating and a terraced waterfall pool that is a work of art in its own right.

We then join design duo Kevin Isbell and Gianantonio Corna at their 1920s Spanish colonial home in the heart of Los Angeles. After relocating from New York City, they were in search of a place that spoke to their personal aesthetic and embodied the vernacular that they associated with California. One of the main changes they made was to open the shutters by breaking up some of the expanse of the wood on them to allow natural light to pour through and also offer views of the beautiful blue sky and palm trees right outside the window. The house also features a whimsical kitchen with an indoor garden-inspired corner; a sleek dining space that includes an octagonal vintage table and a stunning gallery wall adorned with art; and a calming bedroom that embraces natural imagery with its floral touches.

After that, Mary Fitzgerald, one of the stars of the Netflix binge-worthy show “Selling Sunset,” shows us around a private Calabasas compound, owned by rapper French Montana (and previously owned by pop star Selena Gomez). This spacious residence mixes classic luxury with a playful ambience and is situated on three acres with over 8,600 square feet of impressive interiors. It also features an incredible dining room that’s perfect for hosting intimate dinner parties with its fireplace, dramatic chandelier, 20 ft. ceilings, and adjoining courtyard; an entertainment space with a pool table lounge area, terrace, and huge windows; an open-floor chef’s kitchen (complete with an oversized fridge and modern conveniences) that leads into an impressive living room; a sound-dampened home theater that’s ideal for watching movies and sporting events with friends and family; a private outdoor oasis with a cabana, pool, and wood-burning pizza station; and a guest house that includes a music studio.

Next up: We venture to 170 Spindrift Lane in Carmel, California to join Jonathan Spencer for a tour of the dramatic former hideaway of Kim Novak, star of Hitchcock’s classic “Vertigo.” This 1,866 sq. ft. oceanfront property, located on a 1.14 acre lot, features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathroom, as wells as breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. It also includes a golden granite stone exterior that’s meticulously stacked, a Bohemian-inspired living room with tall redwood ceilings, a green-granite fireplace, as well as stained glass windows and unique light fixtures that were commissioned by Novak back in the 1950s and ’60s; a beautiful kitchen that was remodeled in the 2000s with sleek granite countertops and high-end appliances; a primary suite with an attached bathroom; and a one-bedroom guest house that offers a front-row show to the rugged coastline right outside its windows.

Full Episode: A Bel Air Mansion, Upper West Side Duplex & Gilded Age NYC Apartment | Open House TV

Full Episode: A Bel Air Mansion, Upper West Side Duplex & Gilded Age NYC Apartment | Open House TV

Open House host Sara Gore kicks off the latest installment inside a sleek, sky-high apartment in the heart of Midtown. And that’s just the tip of this week’s impressive homes!

We then venture to the Upper East Side to join Brian Lewis for a tour of 17 E 92nd St. This 5586 sq. ft Gilded Age townhouse, with 6 bedroom and 3.5 baths, is filled with classic details such as original moldings and woodwork, a Juliet balcony, renovated garden level (with two entrances, bonus dining & living rooms, private backyard, and a renovated kitchen with a dining bar), as well as a stately parlor floor that leads into a gorgeous living room. With its rich Carnegie Hill history and top-of-the-line finishes, it is a timeless slice of old New York with modern conveniences.

After that, we head to the West Coast to join Sally Forster Jones for a tour of 1859 Bel Air Road. This high-end estate (built on approximately 1.3 acres of land) features a contemporary design and impeccable attention to detail. It boasts 20000 sq. ft of unique amenities, including a custom wine lounge (featuring a custom glass cellar), private movie theater, sleek bar with interesting lines and curvature, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities. With its gorgeous ocean views (including of Catalina Island), infinity pool, grand spiral staircase, spacious primary suite filled with natural light, free-flowing main level that connects the veranda to the formal living room, and impeccable attention to detail, this massive tri-level Los Angeles mansion is a true entertainer’s paradise and epitome of Southern California luxury living.

We then jet back to the East Coast to visit 165 Charles Street, Unit 21 with Spencer Means. This West Village 3-bedroom apartment, located on the 10th floor of a glass building designed by architect Richard Meir, is waterfront living at its best and features a sleek & functional open kitchen with white matte lacquer cabinetry, a vast gallery that leads into a dramatic living room with a 30-ft terrace, and a primary suite with 2 walk-in closets, spa-like bath, and plenty of natural light. Additionally, it features over 2500 sq. ft. of luxury living space, 11 ft. ceilings, Wenge African hardwood floors, and vast windows with iconic, unobstructed 360° views of the Hudson River. As Means best puts it, “It is a home designed for entertaining, inside and out.”

Up next: interior designer Vanessa DeLeon introduces viewers to a duplex she designed for empty-nester clients on the Upper West Side, who decided to upsize their living situation by purchasing the apartment above them and combine it with their current one after their kids went off to college. This was a full gut renovation that began with establishing a color palette that was inspired by DeLeon’s client’s travels, and ensures continuity and sentimental touches throughout the home. The finished project, designed with an open-concept floor plan in mind, includes lucite chairs featuring the couple’s favorite song lyrics printed on the back, a staircase with light fixtures her clients bought in Paris and show-stopping wallpaper that matches the rest of the apartment; a dining room with a bleached table and linear & translucent chandelier that delineates the space; a kitchen with light blue cabinetry, as well as a large island with a stunning countertop and backsplash; a living room with two round sofas that flank the fireplace (which incorporates the same material used in the kitchen); and an active lounge that’s perfect for watching a movie, playing games, or enjoying a snack. In essence, this home exudes “comfort, design and functionality”.

Finally, we drop by New York City’s Flower District to visit interior designer Drew McGukin. No stranger to taking risks, McGukin’s live/work Chelsea loft is a tribute to his unique aesthetic and penchant for embracing color. His home features an office space with bright light, fun pops of taxi-cab yellow and a cork wall perfect for client presentations; open bookcases that serve as dividers between the work and living areas; a dining room that transitions into the kitchen with a bar cabinet as an anchor; a bedroom with a large skylight, walk-in closet, and abstract wallpaper featuring patterns that originate from an actual painting; and a living room that includes a mash-up of his favorite client moments, vintage pieces that add an element of timelessness to the space, and one-of-a-kind Aboriginal artwork and classic photographs. Overall, the goal was to create a warm, creative home that would be enjoyed by guests and residents, alike.
