All photography above, Eric Morin for the December 2006 World of Interiors.
I've mentioned Kate and Andy Spade's New York apartment several times since it appeared in World of Interiors. But this week I have clearer images to share. At first glance the apartment looks like happy chaos -- pattern-on-pattern, bold color, and loads of even bolder art. Yet, the symmetry gives it harmony and order. To me, it feels fresh and a tad stately -- like Ingrid Bergman's London apartment in Indiscreet.
Steven Sclaroff helped orchestrate the Spade's mix. Click images above for details such as red trim on the entry bench.Related post: Steven Sclaroff.

I think I've finally found my peeps! Having moved to a town where the design community is, let us say, not overflowing, it is great to have found you and your blogger friends. I have been enjoying all of your blogs for a couple of months now, and have been inspired and informed. I realize I have been starving for a group of like-minded design junkies to share with. Thanks to you and all the blogger links!
Yay! Thanks for posting. I love their taste. And Indiscreet is my favorite movie!
Katie,
Great to hear from you! Thanks for introducing yourself. I'm so glad you've found some inspiration here.
Cheers,
Courtney
Alyssa,
I know! Isn't it the coolest apartment ever?
Wow, you know my favorite movie of all time, Indiscrete ( mainly for the interiors of Ingrid Bergman's apt!". We're blogging soul-mates LOL. I love reading your blog everyday while I drink my tea, keep up the good work!
This is just a great apartment. Sophisticated yet slightly "downtown"!
BTC,
Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I need to surf over to your blog :)
I've never seen the Spade apartment. Thanks so much for this, very inspirational! I especially love the red accents...
Wisteria NCY,
Always happy to share fresh things. Glad you were inspired. I love the red accents too :)
Thanks for posting these photos. When this issue came out, I searched for it and sadly for me every store was sold out.
In a previous article, Kate said she mirrored her doors and I always wondered what they looked like....fabulous of course is the answer!

Julie,
I love the mirrored doors too. Glad now you can get a look at this place.
Great! What issue is this from?
December 2006.
Love it, but don't they have a toddler? I'm not one for totally babyproofing a house, but after learning the hard way, it is not possible to have all those great tablescapes and coffee table arrangements with kids around. Wonder what their secret is? Were there any pics of the nursery?
Mama Tiff,
I too would have loved to have seen the little girl's room -- no pictures were published. But I admire the parents for respecting her privacy. I think I read that the room is yellow :)
