This ^^ is just a pretty photo that I liked! It’s a rare model-shot of Kendall Jenner where she doesn’t look dead-eyed and bored. I’m shocked that Vogue didn’t use this! Anyway, as we all know by now, Kendall Jenner is a successful model. She makes millions of dollars a year from modeling on runways, modeling contracts, endorsements, side-projects like her fashion line, and from the reality show, of course. Kendall bought herself a nice house in LA a while ago, but she has barely been in town long enough to really decorate her house at all. So she’s been working with a decorator named Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who has helped her find some nice, interesting pieces for her home. Obviously, when you hire a fancy decorator, you’re not just going to go down to Crate & Barrel and say “I want this whole spread!” No. Instead, you shell out $52,000 for this “couch.”

Seriously. Would you pay $52K for this? Would you pay $2000 for it? I would not. Personally, if you told me this was an amazing piece of contemporary art, I would probably believe you. I think it’s interesting to look at, it’s striking and interesting and if it was a sculpture, sure, I would find it compelling. But as a COUCH??? Kendall explained what happened on her app:
“Slowly but surely, my house is finally getting decorated!” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared on her app this week. “It’s definitely a process and a lot more work than I anticipated. I’m glad I’m taking it slow and only getting things I really love. And, my interior decorator, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, has been a huge help in finding unique pieces.”
Kendall, who celebrates her 21st birthday tomorrow, went on to gush about her new couch, which can cost up to—wait for it!—a whopping $52,000.
“Recently, I realized I’d been really good and came in way under budget on my furniture allowance,” the model continued. “I got super excited and bought another amazing couch. One day, I just had a vision about the entry room and knew exactly what it needed. As soon as I saw the couch, I fell in love. The ‘Boa’ by Edra couch is all woven and a really groovy navy with purple shimmer. It works perfectly in the space! I still have a long way to go, but am having so much fun along the way!”
It’s her money and she can spend it how she wants. I bet in a few months, she might actually regret not spending more time at Pottery Barn though. Which brings me to a different point – the Kardashian-Jenners don’t really have the best taste in interior design, at least from what I’ve seen of their houses on the reality show. Everything always looks like a tacky, nouveau-riche starter mansion with no personality and everything is always decorated in white, beige and gold, maybe some black. So in some ways, Kendall’s purchase of this insane couch is sort of off-brand.

Uh huh….intestines. That is all.
Yep. Or one of those viruses / bacteria that are revealed by powerful microscopes.
Yes.
It does look like a cluster of Staph. aureus after you’ve Gram stained it.
Virus, intestines, poo, whatever you all are crazy. I would lounge the F out of that right now. Maybe I’m sick, 2 sick kids under 4 and a case of man flu at my house, and maybe I’ve slept 7 hours in the last 4 days. But in the words of liz lemon, “i want to go to there. ”
For all the “I don’t know how to sit on that” comments… Are we so grown up we don’t know how to plop and nestle, and throw a leg over and lounge or snooze? It’s too far off from a proper sit? That feels so sad to me!
This is what we secretly wish couches were, why we lay on them sideways, and move cushions around, and add pillows. But we are stuck to keeping that couch shape.
That said im not paying that kind of $$$ so it’s a moot point i guess.
ha ha that’s what I thought too! Comme have a seat on some Haggis!
I am a big fan of eating haggis but sitting on it not so much…
It’s an ugly couch, IMHO, but if they hung it on the wall I could see it working as a piece of modern art. “Infected intestines: a study in purple” or something like that.
HA! You made my day. Sounds like every title card we have to make for the local pretentious art college! And that is the best picture I have seen of her in her whole career of modelling.
The boa design sofa on glass is a great conversation piece and would be right at home in a modern museum gallery.
It is not only creative it is a modern show piece. I like it actually with the glass underneath it.
Too each their own. Taste and beauty in the eyes of the beholders.
Intestinal chic. Yes, it’s horrendous looking, but I bet it would be dreamy to go to sleep on and intense to get it ON on.
You kind of get a feeling that’s what Sigourney Weaver’s alien spawn’s baby-daddy looked like.
If it could talk, it would say, “MUH.”
If it could talk, it would say, “MUH.”
LMAO
“Intestinal chic” –that’s brilliant! Stealing it and challenging myself to use it three times today.
Aside from looking like intestines (great comparison by the way), this thing is a black hole for crumbs.
Most definitely. Also a black hole for humans. It looks like it would tip over if you tried to stand up.
Ha! First thing I said. Looks like something was disemboweled and they plopped the entrails on a glass table.
I’m not sure I would know, how to sit on it.
And to think she spends more money on a couch than I make within a year, makes me sad or aggressive. Not sure.

I found an ad for it. It’s actually HUGE, so you sink into it. For vapid people with too much money.
It’s ridiculous and I acknowledge that, but that photo makes me want to sit on/in it.
It makes me think of what my dog leaves on the lawn after having too much “people food” ugh!
Right? How depressing.
Considering that I live in e small house with a lot of people in it every piece of furniture is calculated to hold thing in it and take as little space as possible so what I really envy there is the fact that she has the chance to have a house of her own at 21 with a lot of space and the money to buy whatever the F…k she wants. The couch is not exactly my taste BUT if i had 15 rooms I would put one like that in one of them just for the fun of it. It would be my fun space with a huge TV and a popcorn machine. Hell why not.
Note: I made 6000 dollars or less a year, soooo that couch….not happening. I bought 2 for 200 dollars each recently. They were cheaper but i changed some things that cost me 40 more. I am miserableeeee because it destroyed my plans for a table. Oh well who needs a new table after all. The old one is just fine
Egla: Creativitiy and imagination, not $$$ to furnishing a room.
Kitchen table from a door or a small coffee table can look elegant from a small door.

It certainly isn’t for anyone with a knee or back problem, for sure.
Her spending that much on such a useless item makes me stabby. Keep me away from that poly couch! lol
How do you even sit on it? It looks more like a giant beanbag.
I could sit on it. But I’d need a winch to get me off it.
You don’t sit on it. You lie on it and let it pull you into its nether depths.
Quit making me laugh. I’m at work dammit.
I was literally in a foul mood because I spent $72.00 on two bags of groceries. But I guess she deserves the good life since she works so hard. That was the voice of Donald Trump not me.
Hahaha yes to this – I know that feeling! When she talks about how much she works, I just want to claw out my own eyeballs just so I can throw them at her. ‘I’m just like, always working. You know when i click ‘post’ on instagram… that’s exhausting’
LOL. Perfection.
Kendall hires a super-talented interior designer then goes on to talk about how much fun she’s having decorating her place as if these are all her ideas.
These people can’t help but make everything about themselves and take credit for other people’s natural talent. It’s like the Ks are constantly trying to prove that they’re talented, creative, and business-savvy and not just a lucky last name.
Ugh. This whole family, man…
What an era of no style style. I also see a black hole of crumbs and pennies. This thing is going to smell bad in a few short months. I only see a sad waste of what could provide actual housing for another family (I would put the 52k to good use towards my earnest money!)
Does not look very comfortable.
My favorite is that Courtney’s home was featured in Architectural Digest and now she thinks she’s a “designer”.
I actually stopped buying Architectural Digest because they keep featuring the Kardashian/Jenners so much. AD gets so many angry comments on facebook every time they feature them, but they keep doing it anyway.
The whole room is yuck
this. I’ve always loathed Martyn Lawrence Bullshite’s style.
thats not her room it looks like a show room.
Sit on it? At 52K, I’d better be able to drive it!
Lol
Ahahahahhaha yes God dammit or better have two stores with 3 rooms each and a couple of bathrooms for me to spend that kind of money
Too much money, too little sense. Is that a glass floor?
I wonder how see keeps the floor clean.
She doesn’t – her help does. But does she even live in the house. Seems like she is never home.
You mean you wonder how her maid staff keeps the floor clean?
That looks like the furniture company’s showroom, not her house! If you see the Instagram account it’s the company.
Thanks Runcmc. Her entire “write up” sounds like she is shilling for this sofa company. Smells like a paid endorsement to me *eyeroll
Looks like a blue turd.
I don’t get it. Where does one sit? Is it facing the TV or the piece of art on the wall? Serious question. The glass floor (platform?) is messing with my eyes. It just looks like a blanket.
Can nothing be done about the motel 6 looking heating vent on the wall? It’s all I can see
I wouldn’t have even known that was a couch. Definitely looks like it would be rather uncomfortable ….
That picture is not posted for the sofa/cloud monstrosity. It is posted for the floor surely. That’s a glass floor and does it – surely, surely not! – overhang the sides of a building? Is this a high-rise that one walks about over thin air over glass floor tiles on? Wowie. More power to her if she can handle the stress of padding around over a city over a glass floor, she probably needs a big purple cloud to crash on, now and again.
Right? Glass floor + nightmare couch = room of anxiety.
LOL you’re right!
My mind boggles when I try to imagine having so much money that dropping 50k on one item is nothing. I’m aware she’s a multi millionaire but jesus christ
A while ago I read an interview with a British TV personality who is somewhere in between. Not hurting for money but certainly nowhere near Kendall Jenner. The woman indulges. She has a nice home. Nice things. Travels and eats well. Paid off her parents mortgage. But she also talked about coveting some designer items. Finally splurging and bringing it back the next week cause she couldn’t sleep. She realized she could sponsor a child for the rest of its life for that money – so she returned the designer item and did.
Kendall would never. Sure, she might give to charity. A lot maybe. But she would never make such a moral decision on going without for somebody else to benefit. Never.
That’s hideous!
She’ll probably be president some day.
This is what you get when you’re rich and have never been anything otherwise. You think this is art and are willing to pay an outrageous price for something that the artist is laughing to the bank for.
Also, that wall vent looks hideous as well.
The artist and the interior decorator. He’s getting a cut of his idiot client dropping an average person’s yearly salary on a ridiculous couch.
It’s gorgeous (and gigantic, like 5 lounge suites in one, so the price doesn’t seem that crazy to me). It would be a nightmare to clean though.
That was my thought as well!
I’m more concerned/befuddled about the glass floor, tbh.
I actually like it 🙊🙊
Me too! Glad I’m not alone.
An upholstery nightmare. Now I think I will go open my shop up and work on my new grand nephew’s chair. A cute little kid’s club chair.
For 52K that thing better be able to tell the future.
#Polyurethane
I see she’s using the official Kardashian family hashtag now
Hahahahahaha…HA!
It always gets me that rich people pay money for interior designers to tell them what looks good for them. If I had their money, I’d love NOTHING more than to be able to decorate my place with all MY dream ideas, not pay someone else to tell me what’s en vogue… Ugh… A fool and their money…
Is that her house in the picture? If so, that is one ugly room.
It looks like a dog bed.
Ha! You’re right, it totally does.
That was my first thought too..wonder if it’s filled with cedar chips..
Absolutely, I love it. If I didn’t have to worry about spending that amount of money on a piece of furniture, this would so be mine.
She still looks dead-eyed though. I think you’ve just gotten used to it.
Yes, I just wanted to buy a (regular) sofa in that color and fabric, but couldn’t justify the (much lower) price. She looks dead-eyed to me too.
Thought she looked dead-eyed also.
Somehow I doubt she paid full price for this.
Exactly, with all the publicity she probably got it next to nothing. Still ugly .
Also, you can order it online for only 31.000 USD, so there… 😀
Maybe because I’m super tired today, but it looks so comfortable and I kind of wish I was lying on it right now! Looks like velvety grapes.
The floor is throwing me off. It’s making the couch look flat.???? Is the floor clear or mirror??? I haven’t had coffee yet
The whole room is hideous.
It’s a glorified bean bag. I hope she didn’t pay for that. Probably not since there aren’t any pictures of it in her house. She’s just advertising for the company…
THIS !!!!!
It’s pretty common for 21 year olds to blow their money on dumb things. She just has more money to do it with. I’m pretty sure I was spending 50% of my money on ugly outfits from Wet Seal & hair extensions.
She must have saved all of the money she isn’t spending on skin care to buy this you guys!! Lemons and dog poop or whatever she’s doing and we can all buy this fugly furniture.
That photo is from the artist’s showroom. Hence the glass floor.
Are you sure she paid for it? This family gets a lot of stuff for free.
Since it’s not a sofa…..no, I wouldn’t. People like the K’s will buy anything with an inflated price tag. That “couch” is embarrassing. Where are her friends going to sit when they come over?!
I could pay off my student loans with the amount she spent on a couch *sob*
She has the right to buy what she wants, but I could think of so many more positive ways to spend that much money. Sad.
Don’t worry, she probably didn’t pay in full. Celebrity discount and even more so if she got it into the news.
I’m more interested in the glass floors! Like how is she not nervous walking around on the second floor? I would be paranoid & have anxiety walking around in that house. I could never look down.
SHE should just sit on it, Happy Days-wise.
Honestly I think it looks really cool and it’s perfect for parties where everyone is posing all over for instagram.
Like a navy cloud!
It’s hideous.
But more importantly: she said she’s come under budget for her furniture allowance??!
Allowance from what?! For what?
It’s called a budget. It’s not just for the poor folks. You allot certain amounts for certain categories, ie groceries, entertainment, cars, household, etc so you know you aren’t spending more than you make.
I think it’s awesome she is clearly being smart with her money and not being ridiculous.
“clearly being smart with her money and not being ridiculous.”
She spent $52,000.00 on a couch. What the hell are you talking about?
I am not sure that Kendall really spent that much money on that couch. clearly she managed to get that thing into the news and that means she did probably get a hefty discount.
Kardashians have no style but they know how to make money from worthless crap and they know how to get into the news.
And here I am wishing I had enough money to get a decent couch at ikea.
I’d love it if the interior designer paid $150 for it, then pocketed $51,850 and laughed his ass off for the rest of his life.
That is what I thought, too.
kardashians ain’t no clue style-wise nor fashion-wise. So sell them anything. The more expensive the more they will think it to be stylish.
On the other hand: Kendall just got into the news for $51k. Usually world-wide advertisements are more expensive. ‘:-)
At first glance, it reminded me of the Time magazine cover with Trump’s Total Meltdown. Just change the color from the blue (?) to orange.
OMG! The link to the ad posted above actually shows that they have Trump’s tangerine color available for the couch. Eww…
She still looks dead in the eyes to me. I just can’t get on board with her. Pretty girl but…. ehh. I’m doing this thing where I’m trying to be nice so I’ll leave it at that. Love Gigi though.
I hate to be the party pooper here, Kendall, but have you given any thought to how you CLEAN this thing? That’s what us mere mortals do, at least: We take the cover off our couch and take it to the dry-cleaner’s, if it can’t be washed at 30°C in the washing machine. Nevermind, if it’s too much of a hassle, you’ll probably just buy yourself a new, uhm, couch.
Yup love it and the colour it’s v cool not keen about the price though 🙂
dear Kendall,
you got ripped off. That thing looks like old car tyres braided and knotted together. Or like an Alien Amoebae in gestation period.
And you need a better interior designer.
I pity the grandma trying to get up from a couch like that. Looks more like a heap of Prince’s purple laundry left in the middle of the floor.
This reminds me of Sensitive Skin – the Canadian version where they get a f–ked up couch like this and no one can actually sit on it.
I wish there were pics from a few other angles
