LAST WEEK, WE STUMBLED upon the Versailles-esque home of the late Joan Rivers, tucked away amidst the steel and concrete towers of New York City. Today, we explore another beautiful maximalist home, that of New York interior designer, Alex Papachristidis. A less grand, but no less lovely, it is filled with crown canopies, leopard print and chinoiserie, and beautiful things collected since Papachristidis was 23 . . .

{p.s.} you may remember some glimpses from his home in 28 Maximalist Rooms
