I would love to hear your thoughts on what in the Tarloft is more TK vs more Carlos if you’re up for it! Because we know Carlos led the charge on the design but I keep wondering where he might have shifted with TK in mind
Hey nonny, thanks for this ask! I am sorry it took so long to get to it.
I think the TK things are (beyond the TK things that Carlos expressly moved in during 3x04) are the location: downtown, near good dancing, the polished concrete floors, the lofted style - mostly brick and metal. It's got a delightfully posh, modern New York feel.
The Carlos of it all: the dark colors Carlos gravitated to in the loft are still present through most of the furniture in the place: dark woods, dark fabrics etc. The art and knicknacks are probably Carlos, if I'm honest, as are the plants. But I think he defintitely designed this place with TK's style and likes in mind instead of just his own.
I think the photographs are for both of them, as we didn't really have family photos in the condo that I remember (but I could be wrong, and if so tell me). But it's nice seeing these little bits of the life
TK may occasionally bring home something that Carlos has to home somewhere, not that he minds. But Carlos definitely likes an Aesthetic (capital a) and gets design mags and probably has a pinterest account for moodboards and color schemes. I think TK likes this about Carlos, and the house as a whole, as evidenced by his joy at seeing the finished loft.
Also, nothing will ever be cuter than Carlos covering TK's eyes because he hasn't "seen the apartment finished" and he wanted to show off their house to the man that will be his husband.
