Nate Berkus And Jeremiah Brent NYC Townhouse

Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent living room with fireplace — A handsome 1940’s armchair dressed in black leather contrast the shearling-covered sofa.

After living in LA and having purchased and renovated what they called their forever home, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent decided to call it a day and come back to New York City. They sold their nearly 9,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial home and purchased a townhouse in the West Village. According to the designer couple, the reason for this sudden change was Jeremiah’s longing for the urbanism of the City where the couple met. Their townhouse is featured in the current issue of AD.

5 Favorites Of Belle Vivir: From The Last Bottle To Art On Sale

The Last Bottle

On our last trip to the South of France -God I can’t wait for this whole Corona catastrophe to be over- encouraged by my husband, we visited The Chateauneuf-du-Pope region and ended up buying a couple of cases of wine and getting them shipped back to our home. A couple of years later and we were able to buy the same wine for the same price and without having to pay shipping and duties. All thanks to The Last Bottle. I’m not a great wine drinker, I’m more of a cocktail girl, but when I do I always go for Riesling since I feel it is easier on my stomach. The Last Bottle “is a daily purveyor of fine wines. [they] offer you one hand-picked wine per day until it sells out… Always at incredible prices (30%-70% off retail)…”

The Wardington Manor

There is the girl inside me who is fond of urban cities and there is the other one-I’m possibly bipolar- who is afraid one day will end up living in a big house in the middle of nowhere, planting roses, surrounded by wicker and chintz-covered deep comfy sofas. Maybe this is just a mere impulse encouraged by the deep happiness I experience every time I come across idyllic places like The Wardington Manor. Keep scrolling down and you will perfectly understand what I mean. I will forever live happily in the spectacular wood-paneled library.

Conde Nast has recently announced pay cuts and potential job eliminations as the economy continues to slow down.

If You Like Gardens; These Are The Instagram Accounts You Should Follow

I didn’t think I was going to be so enchanted by beautiful gardens. I have always been a lover of nature and always have the belief that there is nothing more beautiful than nature. Of course, there is outstanding man-made architecture, but as beautiful as they can be, they would look rather dilapidated without the proper landscaping. It is my hope that all these beautiful images can provide you with much-needed inspiration as well as a confirmation that life is beautiful and soon we’ll be back to our normal life.
