\"InfluencerInfluencer Molly Blutstein\u2019s Brooklyn apartment sparks huge debate after Architectural Digest feature leaves internet completely divided (Image Via Getty) Influencer Molly Blutstein is facing huge backlash online after her Brooklyn apartment was featured in Architectural Digest earlier this month. The 28-year-old content creator, who moved to Cobble Hill, New York City, in July 2025, proudly showed off her small railroad-style apartment that she decorated by herself. The feature was supposed to highlight her unique style and taste. But instead, it turned into a hot topic of online criticism, as people on Reddit, Instagram, and X (Twitter) mocked her design choices and even questioned Architectural Digest\u2019s decision to feature her home.<\/p>\n

The apartment looks like a Pinterest draft!\u201d Even more criticism came when Molly said she disliked mid-century furniture, while people pointed out that her apartment had mid-century pieces. One Instagram user joked, \u201cHonest question, is this satire? That\u2019s all mid-century stuff!\u201d<\/p>\n
