Great Berkus
You know how you’re allowed to pick someone who’s famous to have a crush on with your spouse’s blessing? Well, Nate Berkus is mine. And John’s pleased as punch seeing that even if Nate and I somehow ran into each other I’d still have no chance due to that tiny little detail that he’s not exactly interested in women. Anyway, beyond his boyish good looks and boundless charm and charisma, Nate has one of the best design senses of anyone on this green Earth. And that’s not just my crush talking. Look at some of his gorgeous interiors:
Yummy.
Swoon.
Those earth, elegant, natural interiors never fail to inspire me. In fact, I was probably subconsciously channeling Nate when I picked out our jute rug in the den, our glass and iron coffee table in the living room, and all the coral and starfish that I sprinkle about.

I wasn’t a huge Nate fan at first but the last couple of years he has really grown on me!!! I find myself liking more and more of his rooms.I might just have to get this book now…like I don’t have enough books already?!?!?! LOL..Have a great week!

Hey Des,
I totally agree that when I first saw some of Nate’s rooms I was confused. I think it’s because I thought some things looked sparse- some of the vignettes were much simpler than other designers- and to me things just seemed “under-decorated”. But now I totally appreciate his paired down aesthetic and I absolutely subscribe to his “only bring it into the house if you love it” idea. Less really is more, and Nate’s an angel to step up in arena where lots of other designers just want to fill your home up with “the latest design trends” regardless of if they speak to you on a personal level.
xo,

Great pics! I just noticed JCPenney’s Cameron Place Leather Chair would be a great “stand-in” for the chair in the first pic…and I’m sure it costs thousands less!!
