A real home that looks beautiful and lived in at the same time

Pictures of beautiful interiors abound but I always appreciate house tours much more than staged spaces for editorial pieces. This real home is in Chicago, lived in by a furniture designer and art professional, circa early 1900's, and is 1200 sq. feet.

Enjoy!

I'm really into simply lately. The lines are clean and you can tell possessions are well edited....
I also totally crushed on that rug when West Elm introduced it...still love it




Again, the space is sparse but not lacking visual interest... love the mix n' match chairs as well

great use of space putting that storage unit in the hall...



The dark molding is gorgeous. One day I will have atleast one desk and one work table in my home office/studio!

An 18th Century Copenhagen apartment full of historical charm

I love older homes and buildings not only for their historical charm, but because each one is a little different. This is sometimes by design, and sometimes from the relationship the house has had with previous occupants.








Love this room- great for napping or reading



I really like that this home is obviously lived in - not just staged for the photographer

Tired of the same old?

I wanted to share this really cool furniture store that was brought to my attention a few weeks ago. If you're into a mirrored furniture and brightly colored French traditionals, then you'll love this.
