Shady quotes from the article posted by r140, with translation:
[quote] When we arrived, he and his wife, Kate, were in spirits that are uncommonly good for a Thursday afternoon—a side effect of a birthday celebration from earlier in the day.... Over a Corona and a cigarette, [Andy] Spade shared some insight into his home, art collecting, and life in general."
Translation: "When we arrived, the couple was soused, and it was barely 3 p.m. They blamed a birthday party. He continued to drink. He's also a smoker."
[quote]As soon as you walk through the door, you're slammed (in the best way) by an entryway covered in frames, tacked-up papers, and photos.
Translation: "The entryway was a cluttered mess. (In the best way.)"
[quote]The long corridor off to the side is covered in art as well, but in a different way. It’s more uniform, as opposed to the more haphazard salon walls in the entryway. One isn’t necessarily better than the other; it’s just a matter of preference.
Translation: "The hallway is also cluttered, but not like the entryway."
[quote]There’s plenty to look at, but in the living room the immediate focus is on a large Richard Serra painting that hangs over the fireplace.
Translation: "Despite the clutter, you can't help but stare at the butthole painting over the fireplace."
[quote]There’s an abundance of everything in the house. That’s not a bad thing in this case—it brings character.
Translation: "Andy is a jerk, but the clutter softens that effect."
[quote]Nearly all the surfaces in the home are covered with books, artifacts, and whatever else the pair have collected over the past twenty or thirty years.
Translation: "There are some hoarder tendencies. A storage unit is not always a bad idea."
[quote]Not really a dining room table until you throw some candlesticks on there. They don’t even have to match. Honestly.
Translation: "Nothing matches, but these people are rich, so it's okay. Honestly."
[quote]If you ever run out of wall space, remember there's always other options. Try an easel, as Spade did with this Lowell Boyers painting.
Translation: "Did I mention the clutter?"
[quote]There are plenty of antiques in this house, no question. But none of it feels old or stodgy. That’s thanks in part to Andy and Kate’s eye for color and shape. A few bright spots will make your place feel new, welcoming, and not boring AF.
Translation: "This place is boring AF. Oh, a bright blue cabinet!"
[quote]A good thing to take from all this, if nothing else: Make sure your house doesn’t stink. Get a candle.
Translation: "It smells like cigarettes and booze in here."
