You may remember a while back, Oprah ran a contest for some of the best decorated houses in America that weren't decorated by actual designers. Part of their prize? Nate showed up at their front door (good enough for me!). One of the winners of the "Knock Knock, It's Nate" contest was Beverly Hills designer (and very new mom at the time) Jenn Feldman.
Although this aired a year or so ago, it is still one of my favorites and one of the episodes I have locked on my Tivo so that I can go back and watch again and again.
I like how she mixed the formality of the dining room with her own black and white photographs in white frames:
One of my very favorite living rooms. Love the artwork. The rug came from JCPenney.
She also made several wall galleries throughout her home by buying photography books and photography cd's and framing the images herself.
Aaaahhh, that light fixture:
Jenn has since opened her own Beverly Hills-based interior design business (as she should have!). Thanks for re-living this Oprah episode with me :)
Wow, awesome. I never saw that episode but I will see if I can check it out. I love that light above her table also!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing. that is a gorgeous home.
ReplyDeleteWow. No wonder this stuck in your head! Her gallery walls are amazing, especially the one by her staircase. I love it!
ReplyDeleteNate and Oprah how could a girl go wrong.Wow she was lucky I wish they would do this series again. Anything with Nate is wonderful. I wonder what Oprahs ratings are like when she has him on the show.
ReplyDeleteI hate that I missed this episode!
ReplyDeleteI loved that episode! Thanks for the great pics.
ReplyDeletehe can come knock on my door anytime of day!
ReplyDeleteI love the dining room and the bedroom the best! I can't believe she wasn't already a designer... wow!
ReplyDeleteso wish I saw that episode! this home is fabulous. love the lucite table, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE Nate. I really hope he is indeed getting his own show on Oprah's new network! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the dining room and that last eating area.
ReplyDeleteI totally remember this - and I love it, too! Stealing her idea for the monogrammed blanket. Right now...

LOVED that episode too!! I studied her rooms! Fun to relive - great post!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this episode?!?! Absolutely gorgeous home. Somehow though it feels unfair -- a woman with this good of taste doesn't NEED Nate Berkus.
ReplyDeleteI loved that Oprah episode and that issue of O at Home. Her house was incredible and I love that lucite table.
ReplyDeleteEven though I tivo Oprah everyday, somehow I missed this (despite said tivo, don't always watch). So thank you so much for posting it, she is amazing. Really love her home (and Nate)!
ReplyDeleteooh i "blogged" about this too!! LOVE this home! i love that you have different pics than I was able to find too! thanks so much!! if you want to see my post, here it is:

I totally remember that episode and I LOVE her house (I had it saved on my DVR too - until we moved). She did a great job with the high and low price points. So chic!
ReplyDeleteVERY cool--I loved her. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love Nate and I remember her house. Good for her, I am glad she started her own business.
ReplyDeleteSome serious eye candy. Very beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteWow! So, so gorgeous! I actually had never seen this space, so thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI taped it and I love looking at it, I never get tired of the homes he picked. I miss the Oprah Home Magazine so much.
ReplyDeleteI just found your beautiful blog via Odi et Amo. How funny, I love this home too and blogged about it here recently.

I did not know she had her own firm now, I am off to check out her site. I am jealous you still have the episode on Tivo. Did you know that Janell from Isabella & Max rooms was a finalist for the feature?
I look forward to following your blog.
I figured I'll leave a comment before I get lost in your blog! I remeber this episode and I love her! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found you from Life and Style this morning (Dayka's blog). I can't wait to see what you do with the bookcase that you purchased for $40!
I'm deffinitely becoming a follower so I don't miss anything else from you!
Have a great day!
I saw that show too and also loved her home. Thanks for the recap!
ReplyDeletelove that purple wall color
