Dorinda Medley is straight up goals when it comes to tending to a home. The Real Housewives of New York City doyenne recently showcased her major renovation in Architectural Digest, and each room in her Blue Stone Manor estate is more gorgeous than the next. While in self-quarantine at the massive home, Dorinda's been cooking up a storm, doing Dorobics and just slowing down her normally busy routine.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

“I don't feel in a rush anymore. I'm always rushing my poor mother off the phone,” Dorinda told DailyMailTV. “I find myself having conversations with my mom and dad. Like she said to me, ‘Sweetie, I’m sure you got to go,’ and I’m like, ‘Not really. I can stay on the phone.’” 

What else is she up to? Pressing her sheets! Yes, you read that right. Dorinda tends to every detail at Blue Stone — and that includes perfectly-ironed sheets on the beds! “Right? It never ends,” she said during an Instagram video that showed her spraying the sheets and inserting them into a rotary iron. “Can you believe this thing is almost 20 years old, this was a gift from Richard, so I could keep the sheets ironed!”

Need a rotary iron for your home? It’s going to set you back — Miele has one that costs $2,000!
