Gerard Butler at Home
DRAWING BACK THE CURTAIN ON THE ACTOR’S OLD-WORLD LOFT IN MANHATTAN
Only to reveal this.
The interior decorating equivalent of these...in grey
Criminal. In fact, is is so pedestrian it could be booked for jaywalking.

I will never, ever be able to forgive you for posting this. Tuscany reclaimed by a Gotti reclaimed by Tuscany as drawn with the last two crayons in the box. Part of me, namely the part able to sexualize Gerard Butler, has died.
Well, at least we know for certain now that Gerard
isn't gay.
You so right Mr.Haboc, beyond boring and what's worst a big waste of money. This is common in Hollywood, but New York, I do'nt get it.
Architectural Digest = Frontgate Catalog
this was worth it Just to read TW's comment, hilarious. This is horrible- AD must have hit the latest movie that he and Jennifer Aniston are in-she was last month-that I never saw. This truly looks like a furniture showroom-and not a good one. pgt
just spit my gin onto the computer screen... may i send you the bill for repairs?
hilarious.
Heh.
But I think I'm more ashamed of Architectural Digest. They, at least, should have known better.
TW - yup! It's a sad indictment of our modern day fascination with slebs that makes AD write an article about an extrordinarily mundane interior, of absolutely no design merit whatsoever.
Ick. Gerard Butler or not, Ick. AD really will publish anything.
Score another home run for Architectural Digest, doing its part to promote the best in interior design...
ooooh.
sorry I dont get his smex appeal anyway. give me rob pattinson please, yes!?!
TW - my first thought too. My second thought — this could be a beard.
Kevin - I know! All the great possible vintage and he chooses this? From ABC no less. Which just reinforces the beard theory.
Kathy - just looked that up, you are so right. What a shame.
CdT - Ha! You chicken hawk you!
Keehan - have a couple of cocktails, watch 300 again and all will be as it should be.
That horrible upholstery. Ugh.
Nobody has said the "T" word (as in tacky) yet. Pretty fugly and pedestrian. Thanks for the post and opening my eyes.
it takes a lot of abuse for me to give up on a shelter mag, but after AD featured magic johnson's super klassy orange county mcmansion in their december issue, i knew i couldn't renew my subscription. and thank god for that, or i would have had to poke my eyes out with a stick after viewing the entire gerard butler feature. the press release photo alone was ghastly enough to give nightmares.
and i'll take your advice about cocktails and a repeat viewing of 300 to cleanse my palate...
Please God tell me that he didn't pay to have that done and that it was some sort of "Oh you're 'famous' so I'll do it for free".
i would demand a refund from AD.
Who styled the shoot? They put a freakin bowl of popcorn on the table with a glass of wine. It looks like an ad for a projection system.
This post was worth it if only to inform me that meg is drinking & blogging. Something about that makes me happy.
Some of the best commentary I've ever read. The cover alone was so unappealing that mine is still wrapped in plastic at the bottom of a (ever shrinking) stack of magazines. Marija
I saw the issue in the train station. I picked it up; I turned to Butler's apartment; my eyes widened; I shook my head in silent despair; I put the magazine down and bought The Economist instead.
I haven't subscribed to AD in a few years (back when shelter mags were in abundance)...I was bored with it. When I saw the cover in AD at the market the other day I contempated buying it (and renewing my subscription, thinking I was missing out on something). Since I was short on time I didn't even flip thru it. Now, I'm so glad I didn't waste my time or my money...thanks for saving me some dough!
and you should see the kitchen. one big brown blob of barf.
I AM CRYING Laughing..and crying crying. AD has lived way past it's demise. The perfect one (they were all brilliant) was AD=Frontgate catalogue)
Tomorrow I am demanding my money back. I mean it!!!!!! REVOLTING!!!!!!!!
An ignominious end. And it isn't OVER! Can't someone pull the plug! Euthanasia!!!!!!! Please! The Hemlock society!
It is sad.
Good news!
I have high hopes for the reshuffle! I ADORE Newell Turner. I think all of this will be great for the surviving mags. I am so happy there are any!
It was sensitively done....the founder of Veranda is staying on ....
Same with Pamela at Town and Country......and they are welcoming.......(and I believe they are ) some new energy and verve helping them!
all good news!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Penelope
I am just loving all of the comments. The picture of Meg, still laughing!!
I hate to admit to the elitists that I am still drawn to the bad boys like Gerard!
The shelter mags are doing anything they can to draw readership, even if it is another demographic! ( and losing a former segment of subscribers)

This just made me throw up a little. I expect more of those living in NY. Shame on AD for blinding us all with this nonsense.
Hollywood forever, Kevin sent me here....and I will be sure to send him a thank you!!!
I discovered earlier today A.L. was sharing my thoughts and I am happy to see you do too.
However, I also came across a blog today that did a recent post where everyone was professing their love with this train wreck!?
It's been a pleasure and I enjoyed my visit very much!
A&A - Thank you and you are always welcome. Now I must find that site.
Merci for this Hobac, and all your lovely followers. What fun reading. I was so perplexed and disappointed by Gerard's home style, I wouldn't even steal that copy from the doctor's waiting room.
Gerry! If you're listening...if you're sufficiently embarrassed by now, please consider hiring me to remedy the situation!
Maybe he was taking the Colette quote too far?
"In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness." - Colette
I just startled Mrs. E., who was walking by when the horse bray of a laugh escaped me.
The square toed loafer allusion was genius. In grey no less!
hahahahahhahaha!!!!! amazing!!!
Sooo true!
Can I get paid a grip to do bad decor? Please? Anyone want shitty faux "mathis Brothers" type crap in their house?
love the blog!
thingsweheart.com
one word: Theme restaurant. Oh, that's two words...
Is that a fake beehive hanging from the fake rafters? Oh, the humanity! must.look.away!!!
I would throw parties here, but I could never live in that... Also, not my first choice for parties. No, wait, I wouldn't throw parties here, where would we all sit? On that table? Ugh...
While this post has far exceeded its shelf life, (I'm always late to the parties) a slighter different perspective. Everyone's sputtering (and rightly so) over AD and what passes for ... can that be called taste? ... of Butler, but the genius here HOBAC is all your own. The pairing of the shoes was brilliant. Might you consider charging admission for a day spent in your brain, ala Malkovich?
