We get a peek inside the fashion designer's oh-so fabulous home.

When past tenants of your building include Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe and even the fictional inhabitants are shrouded in glamour (paging Eloise), you know that your decorating has to err on the side of pizazz. So it's only natural that Tommy Hilfiger and his bombshell wife Dee would make their home into a trove of artwork, opulent fabrics and glitzy accessories. No white sofas here -- even their baby's Nautical-inspired room has style to spare. And the black and white bedroom? Anything but basic.

"We had a vision to create an old-world atmosphere complementing the old-world Plaza," says Tommy, and they certainly brought it to life -- with help from the commissioned Eloise mural and furniture from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Of course they also had to put their own modern spin on it with the 20-plus Andy Warhol paintings and whimsical touches like a teapot-shaped topiary on the Central Park-facing terrace and dining chairs with a decorative bone inlay. "We like to go shopping on the weekends," Dee says. You can see the fun they've had in putting it all together. A red wagon in front of the Basquiat? Stuffed animals beneath the chandelier? Yes, please!

    Okay. Let's do it. I've got the adoption paperwork. Do you think when Tommy and Dee bring us home they'll let us ride our toboggans 'home alone' style down that curving staircase?

    If Tom is so prod of his home, then why isn'e he prod of his given name. Leave off the Hillfinger
    and start using your real last name Tom.

    It's not "any name he wants too."

    It's "to", nutbar.

    Actually its, "any name he wants!" You should try not to end a sentence with a preposition.

    I knew Tommy way back when he was a struggling clothing store owner (The People's Place) in Elmira, NY. I do not begrudge him his fame and fortune he deserves it. and YES, that is really his last name

    It amazes me that people with nothing can drool over someone who has everything....will someone out there tell me just what you have in you that makes you so oblivious to obvious inequity?
