{home: Olivia Palermo's Tribeca pad}

If you don't know who Olivia Palermo is, then you either are not hanging with the young, socialite, Upper East Side crowd, or not watching MTV's The City. I heard about her a while back when a "fake" email was sent around claiming to be from Ms. Palermo, asking for entree' into the existing Socialite posse. Daddy came to the rescue on that one to clear her name, and she is back and better than before. Don't hate her because she is beautiful, thin, rich, young, got a great job with DVF... in fact, don't hate her at all... yet! Okay, I admit that her referencing her "deb ball" while acting like Manolo Blahnik was her best friend was a little puke worthy, but let's just hope that she can give the New York dose of reality needed to keep things spicy on The City.
Here are pics of her Tribeca apartment that her mother, designer Lyn Hutchings, decorated for her.
“I’m so excited to be living in my own home,” says socialite Olivia Palermo, surrounded by clothes racks, shoes and handbags in her colorful, 63-square-foot walk-in closet accented with a zebra-print rug. She used the Container Store’s Elfa system to transform the office space into her dream closet.

The ins and outs of Olivia's place

The sofa is a two-piece sectional sofa bed from Jennifer Convertibles. The eye-catcher in the room is an Hermès tray, a vintage find from the ­Hamptons, placed on top of a Carlyle ­Custom ­Convertible white-leather coffee table with nailheads.

The art deco chair was a housewarming present from her aunt.
