LXTV's OpenHouse


My bathroomThank you for all of your concerns and good wishes. Happy to say I’m home and on the way back to living a normal life, a little paler than I was two weeks ago, but in good spirits.

I got released from hospital on Saturday and spent most of the weekend in bed, gaining my strength back. As one does when the energy to do much else than lie in bed is missing, I was flicking through the TV channels when I stopped on NBC’s OpenHouse show on LXTV. They had filmed my apartment a while back and I knew it was bound to be aired at some or other point this month, and there it was!

What a great boost to see my apartment on such a popular show. If you missed it, you can watch it via their website here.

    Get well. Very nice tour. You are so good at explaining what’s important in your loft. The glass panels really sparkle and “mirror” on both sides.

    Wow- you are so talented. I find your design work very interesting and different. You walk your own path.

    Dear Vicente, I am so glad to hear that you are home and on you way to be in good health again. Please take it easy… well, who am I to tell, you must feel the pressure of your professional life! But it is so important to regain your strength.
    I hope to meet you soon, since I missed you at the panel discussion.

    I saw the piece on LXTV this weekend! Your home is lovely. I loved what you did with that glass wall that shares a hallway with the bathroom and lets in a ton of natural light. Such a clever idea. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    I am happy to see you are on the mend.

    I never miss Open house, it’s so much fun to see how other New Yorkers live. Yours however … what a Sunday morning treat! What a gorgeous apartment – very well done – as always.
