    Awe Rita, thank you for allowing us in your delightful home! I love the commentary too. You've got to have something a bit ugly , a room can get too pleased with itself. Finding that balance and rhythm of daily life as it's reflected in our spaces is refreshing. Such a fan. You keep it real but never compromise good quality pieces and common sense.

    I love residences that look like someone actually lives there as opposed to looking like a showroom. I am not a matchy matchy person, so a collected over time, somewhat eclectic style feels inviting and comfortable. Every room has a story. For me, this is a lovely interior with a very pretty "I want to sit and sip a cup of tea" garden space. Thank you for this.

    There is something about Rita Konig that draws you in. You want to hang on to every piece of advice she hands us. The way she mixes old and new and the things she's collected makes for a wonderful viewing experience. She seems so fun and joyful and that comes across in her designs. Do I want to copy everything in her apartment, YES! but, then it wouldn't be my space; do I want to pull some ideas from her apartment, absolutely. I love that wallpaper or using the colour burnt toast in my space but differently.
    Love her videos; LOVED her Create Academy courses.

I felt tears streaming down my face when you talked about the divorce and having to remove the parts of the house that you didn’t want and adding and keeping things that you wanted.
    Wishing you all the joy and freedom in this chapter of your life as you create new memories in your apartments.

    When I turned 30 I thought that I knew what life was about and what I wanted then when I turned 40 I was top of my game physically but boy did I make bad choices. At 50 I felt a sense of calm and didn't care about what life threw at me, I felt I could handle anything but in a quiet determined way. At 60 I have no damn idea how that went as I had long stopped counting. I will be 70 in a couple of years and strangely I am looking forward to that, to ticking that box, not that it means anything in reality. Back to the video what a wonderful home and I love how Rita talks, very strongly quiet.

    So many things to love about this video. As an American who didn't grow up with any view towards interiors and comfortable living, I've long admired Rita's tasteful and comfortable approach to gracious living. I also just turned 40 a few days ago and can really relate to her sentiments of barreling towards a "big" age and feeling a sense of dread because of all the awful signals society gives women especially, about aging. The honesty about paying for things for 8 months (so relatable) and knowing that she couldn't do anything until she was divorced are great reminders that we're all human and have limits. Well done (again) to Rita on a lovely space; happy that it's one that really reflects and represents her tastes, life, and needs past, present, and future.

I have eclectic taste, so I can appreciate minimalism and black paint (in its proper place), but Rita runs rings around the cliche-mongers.
