I love that Nick and Karin disagreed on something! 😂 I guess there are some "rules" that should not be broken, but it really goes to show that taste in design is subjective. So if you want to do something and it makes you happy, trust in your own instincts and don't get too hung up on what other people are telling you to do.
As long as you continue to voice your own fantastic and sometimes contradictory opinions, I'm here for these tour videos. Thank you for not just saying you love everything like most would. It must be hard, but it is 100% the right thing to do 💥
Nick, You really pushed yourself out of your comfort zone and took risks with this video. I feel like I just watched you from dog paddling in a kiddie pool to Olympic swimmer in the ocean! Leaps and bounds in one week! VERY proud of you and can’t wait to see what your bring to this channel in the future. You’re crushing it! ❤🎉😊
@@Nick_Lewis I was wondering how long it was going to take for you to come for the queen about putting that Tom Ford book😂 Well done video & play off of each other… chefs kiss❤
More more! I did die laughing when you broke her out for that damn Tom Ford book! When the camera panned to the living space I moaned and said, "Not another Tom Ford book!" There are cool books everywhere! Love you Nick - this type of video needs to become regular! ❤
OMG you have LEGS, AHHHHHH, hahahaha!!!!!!! This was awesome, thanks Nick👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I knew the minute I saw that Tom Ford coffee table book, you were absolutely going to call that out and NOT in a good way, LOVE it🤣
Hi Nick, I think you should do more videos like this. Seeing the whole house has a lot more impact than when you show still images of single rooms as examples. Much love from Belgium!
I'm 63 years old and yet absolutely adore the contemporary space, that blue sofa is to die for! The kitchen is perfect, the wallpaper, all of it is better than the boring monotonous traditional in the other space. Only thing I envy about it is the patio, lol
Agree and from the view of a northern European the gold is way over the top. Simple white accents lights would have been much better. Also those upper cabinets in the kitchen are so dated from a European perspective . I love the format ;-)
Hi Nick! I personally love the traditional space more but both with gorgeous. You had such a good point about most people not knowing about going to a stone yard or other places outside of big box retailers. I also think these custom places are way more expensive. The idea of going to a paint store, a flooring warehouse and other places always seemed like it was for the wealthy to me.
Same to me. No offense, I'll stick to my nearly indestructible corian countertops. The care that goes in to real stone, especially marble, is not easy. While the marble coffee table was beautiful how do you get that in there? It mudt weigh a ton! One red wine spill and I shudder to think of the repercussions.
@@SuperDrLisa Some furniture actually needs to have the floors reinforced. Water beds were like that so most apartment buildings did not allow them. Moving weight is always more than stable weight.
I have so many more things to do each day than polish things or give specific care to things. With several properties to renovate, landscape, repair, paint, put additions on etc. fussy building materials are out. I have found as a senior that so many people, particularly women want things badly & will get into debt for them, buy often before it is fully paid for they are already neglecting the daily or weekly care required. Take for instance stone floors. Gorgeous, until you allow the grout to get dirty because most people now don't get down to scrub floors weekly or mop every evening before dirt dries in. Same w. paint. People spend all kinds of time fussing over exact shades...then don't wash their walls every spring after heating is turned off. They would be shocked if they compared the colour 5 yrs down the road. Better to go w. what you can pay cash for & be happy. Contentment is within us, not from things. I buy mistints all the time...greys, off-whites, yellows & greens. Nothing rediculous unless I'm painting the inside of the garage or shed or kids furniture. But saves a fortune over time. Then a yard of fabric w. the relevant colour in it for some accent pc & I'm thrilled w. the result & the $ still in the bank. Light shades of paint in colours which I like sometimes get tweaked by me using Tole Paint from the little bottles. HAVE NEVER HAD BAD RESULTS but can't redo that colour exactly in future.
I prefer the softer pallet, but also wanted to point out that in my experience, a Parisian apartment would have family heirlooms (in the art and the furniture) mixed in with the contemporary items. There would also be a more eclectic use of color, for example grandmother's giant old mirror with darkly aged and flaking gilt, or papa's old tobacco-brown leather wing-back chair, or mama's favorite verdigris plant pots. Not to mention a wide variety in the photos and frames. In that way, a contemporary, neutral, pallet takes on a more natural variety of colors, shapes, and accents, which make it more homey and less like a "showroom floor".
I discovered Karin Bohn's youtube channel recently and from what I've seen, I must say she's a fantastic designer and a hard worker. Please don't stop to make this kind of films.
Loved this video! ❤️ You’re a natural for walking around and commenting on a space in the moment. Surprisingly liked the traditional space more…and going to try to recreate that gallery wall. Karin has a great eye!
Really liked the tour! Advice: You can do longer videos... Sometimes I felt like you cut her out or rushed a bit. All in all a bit more of a relaxed vibe for a house tour would be fitting, more natural. But maybe it was only you being nervous and excited about the new video format, which I completely understand! And to repeat this, I still think its a great video and I look forward to seeing more of the kind!
This was awesome! Loved the back and forth discussion of how the seemingly smaller decision totally transformed these spaces. Very educational and entertaining discussion about design.
Please do more of these videos. I know it takes more planning and it's not always easy to schedule and meet up with other designers but this video was amazing and so well done. I also learned a new tip that is valuable: "Same function, same metal." to make a cohesive space. You're amazing, I always learn something new from you.
I loved elements of both. LOVED the Freddie Mercury poster, the blue sofa, the black island in the modern one. But I'm incredibly old (70) and pretty traditional in my style. I LOVED the applied mill work behind the bed , the mini-office in the 2nd bedroom, and the enclosed sun room in the 2nd one.
Both of those condos are very Modern. It would be interesting to see a really traditional design. I had to chuckle at the white lint (feathers?) on the first living room's sofa. Even for a photo shoot, it couldn't be kept pristine. An obvious reminder that black-and-white themes look great but are hard to live in because - lint, animals, fingerprints, crumbs, Life.
Great video Nick. Karin is obviously very talented & it’s thought provoking to hear her talk about her process in designing these spaces. Of course, I also enjoyed hearing your thoughts as well. I liked both spaces but I definitely lean more traditional in my personal style so the 2 bedroom spoke to me. I hope you do more of these!
This was wonderful! Yes, more of these please. You looked great. You may have been out of your comfort zone, but you came across as relaxed and comfortable.🌸
Both designs create a pause and applause (just made that up😉) Appreciate the explanations for choice. I disagree with her idea of pop of color in one object, though. To me a room seems more cohesive, more fluid if an interesting piece has one or two colors to pick from and spread around in smaller ways. More of a balance. Don't want to feel like the room is tilting in one direction and I can't climb my way out... Love your videos, Nick. Transitional more than modern, but I always learn helpful design tips from you. Thank you!
Loved this new video concept,it's nice to see you moving about,I understand she was trying to appeal to many people which explains why it was so basic and without any character but honestly the Tom Ford coffee table book is such a cliche it's embarrassing for a decorator to even consider it, love your comment about it.
Great video, Nick! Loved the way the metals and materials were mixed in the space. I really enjoyed it when the designer was able to go more "daring" with the design, than seeing the quite overused decor trends we've seen (caning, white tile, shaker cabinet, TF book). Nice spaces overall, great use of the space!
LOL! As soon as I saw the Tom Ford book I thought OMG! I guess you can’t style a coffee table without a Tom Ford book! I have seen many styled rooms lately…all with the exact same Tom Ford on the coffee table. And even my neighbour, who is selling their place, has a Tom Ford book displayed on their coffee table in the real estate promos.
Way to go Nick! you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone to do a FABULOUS video! I'd like to see more videos like this, but ONLY with people you are comfortable with. Great job. I do love that oak is coming back, but NOT with the warm honey finish on it. I didn't understand why oak was stained that way back in the 80s and 90s, as it is a gorgeous wood without any need for adding in colour.
Hearing the reasons why / why not certain style choices were made and what you both agree / disagree on was valuable - I hope you have many more videos like this too!
Things like this make me realise just how specific my taste is. Both flats were fine. Don't hate them, but don't love them either. I purposefully bought a house that was incredibly dated because it was pointless me paying more for something that was highly unlikely to be my taste.
I love that she does custom work to make the space appealing and not just use what is available. If I think about both my lifestyle and cleaning my space, I would have to say I like a combination of both her Traditional and Contemporary
I LOVE Nicks ability to appriciate design that isn't his style. That is how you know he is a true professional. I feel like he could do do any space to meet the style and vision of the person he is designing the space for. NOW I am NOT a professional and I dispise that first condo so much! I know Nick is a big fan of this designer and I can respect that, but prefer the vibe of Nicks suggestions throughout the years. The message I get from his content is that you can have a clean, beautiful, intintional space that is cohesive and warm. You can create a space that takes risks but not so many that the design of the room drowns out the people in it, but instead is a curated space that helps to tell your story. You can find a balance between timeless and trendy, and you can be authentic and well designed at any price point. While Nick's Style isn't quite mine, because of his content, I feel like I better understand my own style. I would LOVE to see a model space he has designed.
Modern traditional for sure. A way to mix my southern living heritage with my love for clean lines and less visual.... distraction. Lovely. But can we ditch the Tom Ford book as required decor?
I like Karin’s perspective on the statement blue couch-that it’s the only blue thing in the room. No other smaller pops of blue, nothing. My aesthetic runs to the asymmetrical and the unique item in a room, and she gave me some outside validation for that!
I live in the UK and microwaves are usually in the kitchen worktop. I've moved into a new build and surface space is precious, so I have my microwave in my utility. I like to have as much work surface as possible and I hardly use my microwave so I don't mine that it's in the next room
I had a condo in 2008 with the same layout as the first one, except the bathroom came before the walk in closet. AND I had the picture rail above the velvet sofa in the same location, the tall black media unit in the same location, and the grey Wassily chair too! Mind blown. 🤯
I love this and hearing the thought process of everything. When I'm designing everything has a purpose and a reason and it's nice to learn how other designers think.
This was so good Nick. Now I'm showing my age but definitely the Paris home for me. Although I loved that lounge in the first one. Thanks Nick for showing us through these beautiful apartments and showing us that you have legs. Cheers from Australia.
I love the contemporary design, and also how Karin was able to make something more traditional look fresh and elegant. I love also how Nick steps in to make pertinent comments (with a hand twitch), so challenging the approach Karin has developed keeps us thinking. This type of video works week for me, but I like your sassy monologues too. I get a reliable weekly laugh from Nick.
Loved this video! So fun to see two of my favorite design TH-camrs together. Also loved that Karen used Claire as an inspiration for her design - loved her beauty channel back in the days and just thought about her some days ago. 😄
I didn't know you can have an enclosed patio. I so want that for my future home. I want to be outside but I hate bugs and honestly, the idea of a TV outside worries me due to weather + electronics. So this idea is like a middle ground. I can be outside but still inside... if that makes sense. I am so excited to see more videos like this. Also thanks for the visuals (both...concept design and real life examples) when the shakers came up. Designer to designer vocabulary doesn't necessarily need to be explained. But as a n00b, I had no idea what a shaker was let alone know what was being referenced. So cutting to some visual aids really helped and I doubt I'll forget what a shaker is now. (I personally liked the thin shaker or flat panel) Such a fun, educational, ans inspirational video. Great job Nick! Thanks for sharing Karin!
I adore the conversation! You both obviously feel passionately about the visual experience and your banter! It was fun to see you, out in your element!
Which one is your favourite? Contemporary cool or modern traditional?
Modern for me. I love the strong contrast of black, white and Grey. My micro is inside the island too.
I'm definitely more modern traditional for my own home but both spaces are stunning.
Loved the first one. More tours, please! :)
Oddly for me, the contemporary cool is my preference. Oddly, because MCM is my fave and I’m middle aged, not young.
Contemporary cool
I love that Nick and Karin disagreed on something! 😂 I guess there are some "rules" that should not be broken, but it really goes to show that taste in design is subjective. So if you want to do something and it makes you happy, trust in your own instincts and don't get too hung up on what other people are telling you to do.
Totally! Some things really are opinions and disagreement is totally ok!
As long as you continue to voice your own fantastic and sometimes contradictory opinions, I'm here for these tour videos. Thank you for not just saying you love everything like most would. It must be hard, but it is 100% the right thing to do 💥
Lol I liked when he made the snarky comment about the tom ford book that seems to be is in every designed house.
Nick, You really pushed yourself out of your comfort zone and took risks with this video. I feel like I just watched you from dog paddling in a kiddie pool to Olympic swimmer in the ocean! Leaps and bounds in one week! VERY proud of you and can’t wait to see what your bring to this channel in the future. You’re crushing it! ❤🎉😊
Aww thanks so much! Back to my kiddie pool next week! 😂
Kind of a back handed compliment that 🤔
@@Nick_Lewis great video. You're great both ways. Your awesome personality and humor works anywhere😊
@@RaeJ8 haha. I thought the same.
@@Nick_Lewis I was wondering how long it was going to take for you to come for the queen about putting that Tom Ford book😂 Well done video & play off of each other… chefs kiss❤
For a video out of your comfort zone, the camera work and editing is fantastic!
Thank you so much!
The transitions playing around with color are very cool
Yes, it was great! Watching it made me feel like I was watching two old friends talking.
More more! I did die laughing when you broke her out for that damn Tom Ford book! When the camera panned to the living space I moaned and said, "Not another Tom Ford book!" There are cool books everywhere! Love you Nick - this type of video needs to become regular! ❤
Haha same here!
More of these types of videos please. You and Karin are great together! I liked the Manhattan style but both were beautiful. She is very talented.
She totally is fantastic. We might see her again on the channel! I want to tour one of her restaurants or something.
The Tom Ford book...trailblazer. Omg...you kill me! 😆
OMG you have LEGS, AHHHHHH, hahahaha!!!!!!! This was awesome, thanks Nick👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I knew the minute I saw that Tom Ford coffee table book, you were absolutely going to call that out and NOT in a good way, LOVE it🤣
That last bedroom in the modern traditional was absolutely STUNNING!!
@Milk Thistle ok?
Hi Nick, I think you should do more videos like this. Seeing the whole house has a lot more impact than when you show still images of single rooms as examples. Much love from Belgium!
Same thoughts from Germany - I just love it!
Headboard: Just do it yourself, this is so easy and a DIY project that everyone can handle ;-)
The Tom Ford jab was perfection *chef's kiss* 🤣
I'm 63 years old and yet absolutely adore the contemporary space, that blue sofa is to die for! The kitchen is perfect, the wallpaper, all of it is better than the boring monotonous traditional in the other space. Only thing I envy about it is the patio, lol
Agree 100%
Agree and from the view of a northern European the gold is way over the top. Simple white accents lights would have been much better. Also those upper cabinets in the kitchen are so dated from a European perspective . I love the format ;-)
As soon as I saw the Tom Fors book I was waiting for you to say something Nick! You didn’t disappoint!
What a gentleman Nick, in front of the tufted headroom!
Hahaha on the Tom Ford coffee table book comment. That's hilarious. So true.
Go Nick! I love you in this new concept! Please keep doing it! You are awesome always!
That enclosed patio area is a dream! I would love to see more of these types of videos.
Nick, Nick...you killed it! Get off the chair and do more of these! Home run, my friend. HOME. RUN.

Fantastic video Nick! And yes please to more tours like this 😍
We were just talking about how that Tom Ford Book turns up in EVERY interior or architecture video on TH-cam
My favourite, the Tom Ford book! 😉
lol the Tom Ford book. "You're a trailblazer!"
She usually nails everything I've seen or do. she's absolutely awesome.
This was wonderful! So helpful. Please more, more, more of these. I’m planning a remodel of my own home and this really helps me target what I like.
1:21 and I already see a Tom Ford book! haha A minute later - the bowl of lemons!
Nothing says designed for a young person like a low coach. Love the video, Nick! Hope to see more tours in the future!!
😂😂😂😂

Although I'm not a fan of her design choices or style... I love this video and clever change of pace Nick!
Loved your reaction to the Tom Ford book! 😁
Wow, Nick! This was a great new style of video. Good for you for taking a risk.
Please do more of these videos. I know it takes more planning and it's not always easy to schedule and meet up with other designers but this video was amazing and so well done.

Loved you going out and touring houses, as well as talking to other designers about what's in, out, going soon, here to stay! Great job! ❤️
LOVE this video! Please do more of these, because the commentary between you two is so valuable! I'm learning so much!
I think we should call this type of series: Nick Lewis: Up and Out of the Chair - -I’d watch more in a heartbeat 😁
Lewis and Bohn, yes please. Great collaboration. Glad you got the courage to get off your chair.
She didn’t want the bedroom to look too “curated”??? 😂 It’s TOTALLY curated!
Omg I’m so glad you collated with Karin!! She’s a ballsy designer.
Loved all the modern design details in both spaces. Especially the one bedroom. Modern design is loved by people of all ages, not just young people.
As a person who is 4’11”, microwave in the island is awesome
This video was great, Nick! It was so helpful to see two different styles with commentary from two designers. I would love to see more of these.

Nick has no chill and I love it
This was such a great collaboration and was fun to see you both play off each other’s ideas. Two is definitely better than one. ❤
This was so fun to watch! Great video Nick
I loved this video!
I'm short and hate the microwave stuck in the uppers - ugly and so hard to clean thoroughly.
That blue velvet sofa is amazing.
This was awesome, totally gave us the chance to see ideas of how to create beautiful spaces! I nearly swooned when I saw that glassed in patio!
I loved it :-) Please do more.
Great video, Nick! Loved the way the metals and materials were mixed in the space.

Love this tour. Pls do more!
Hearing the reasons why / why not certain style choices were made and what you both agree / disagree on was valuable - I hope you have many more videos like this too!
I love Karin Bohn. Her commercial space designs are amazing.
Definitely love the bold sofa. It’s a great focal point.
Love seeing you out of the chair! ✨

With all the light coming in the back porch would be perfect as a craft room.
Modern traditional for sure. A way to mix my southern living heritage with my love for clean lines and less visual.... distraction. Lovely. But can we ditch the Tom Ford book as required decor?
Karin Bohn is my queen. Thank you, Nick, for this collaboration and for featuring some of her latest work.
The metals conversation was very helpful. Could you go into what “layered lighting” means in more detail in a future video?
I like Karin’s perspective on the statement blue couch-that it’s the only blue thing in the room. No other smaller pops of blue, nothing. My aesthetic runs to the asymmetrical and the unique item in a room, and she gave me some outside validation for that!

Loved the format! More please! First one was my fav.
I love this format, it’s a nice change up now and then.
Hi Nick. You did exactly what you’ve suggested we do. Stay true to your style but appreciate the design of others.
Contemporary NY style … and yes please more house tours

Also thanks for the visuals (both...concept design and real life examples) when the shakers came up. Designer to designer vocabulary doesn't necessarily need to be explained. But as a n00b, I had no idea what a shaker was let alone know what was being referenced. So cutting to some visual aids really helped and I doubt I'll forget what a shaker is now. (I personally liked the thin shaker or flat panel) Such a fun, educational, ans inspirational video. Great job Nick! Thanks for sharing Karin!
I am in love with that bedroom, the headboard is gorgeous 😍 the blue and brown and the artwork, love it!
I adore the conversation! You both obviously feel passionately about the visual experience and your banter! It was fun to see you, out in your element!
Yeah, Nick, that’s like asking which kid you love most. I covet/love both.
Please continue this series… love love love
