I like it. I think there is way too much grey in the living/dining area. I think hardwood floors is the next big upgrade that this space needs.

The bedroom is my favorite. Very calm and relaxing. Great color palette. Re: the desk in the bedroom (photo #32)....When the apocalypse comes and we all need pencils, we'll know where to find you :-)

This has all the design trends I like- grey and yellow, splash of wallpaper, great art, chevron, and a plexi chair. It may be a little predictable, but it strikes the right chord for me. It has a balance of being clean and uncluttered but not too sparse.

The only thing I wouldn't choose is the zebra rug. It's a little busy for me, but hey... to each their own.

Wow, everything looks so expensive.

The teal paint on the back of that white book case is great! Lovely nursery.

@Wallflowerpower - you mean the Lichtenstein and Rothko? And the President lives in Washington, DC now. :)

I really like the birds and butterflies wallpaper. Does anyone know whether that comes in fabric form? Those would make great curtains!

Love it. Totally appropriate for a young couple with young children. There are some formal pieces mixed in with pops of colour. I love grey as a base for walls and furniture.

Love the rocker in the nursery, looks like it is comfy and it is actually attractive:)

Also, like the laundry hampers in the bedroom, i am always struggling with where to put my dirty laundry, this looks functional and again attractive.

Question, what is the big yellow square over the bed...fabric, paint? I need an idea for my bedroom, something cheap until i can afford a nice piece of art.

I'm sure I'd enjoy living there, especially with the beautiful view. I would exchange the red chair with the plexiglas chair, then the desk in the entryway would disappear!

Very pretty and relaxing...great choice of pieces...very thoughtfully picked up and placed. What are your sources for wall art? I loved the one above the sideboard (in mauve & blue shades) also the one in the bedroom (yellow & grey) looks great. Any pointers will be helpful!

I just love and love and love it. Great textures, great open feel, wallpaper to die for. And those "found" chairs? Stab me with a hairpin leg. They are amazing.

@WallFlowerPower - The White House does belong to the people, and is only occupied by the current sitting President... however, it doesn't matter who is in office - the White House is considered their primary residence for that time. For that purpose, Obama does not "live" in Chicago.

It's seems a bit cold...I love the warmth of the kitchen. I think it might be the lighting, I wonder if the windows are on a North/South orientation. I really like the setup and the colors and everything but it could feel warmer.

BTW, that zebra skin is not real. Google "real zebra rug" and you can easily tell.

LOOOOOVVVEEE the bedroom. The sconces, nightstand, amethyst and yellow tones...GORGEOUS. But the overload of gray in the LR looks amateurish. Either save up for hardwoods or get a bigger rug that breaks up the gray. You can even layer the zebra hide over it.

I dunno. It looks like they were going for a calm feel with the white/grey/blue colours and then added a few details, some pops of colour, etc., to not make it too cold and strict. But they just added way too much, and the overall feel is busy, incoherent and disorganised. There are lots of things I like about the place, individually, but there's just too much going on.

Carpet! Thanks for posting a house tour w/o wood floors.

@WallFlowerPower - Chicago is not really any more dangerous than any other U.S. city. There are millions of people in Chicago, just like there are millions in New York or Los Angeles. There are good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. This is the same with London, Paris, or any other large European city!

I like the Missoni for Target touches in the nursery :)

Oooooh, I love this place!!! Those bookshelves, and artwork, and so full of color and life. Beautiful. Amazing!

I'm tired of grey/chevron/plexiglass. And the master bedroom looks like a hotel room, and not in a good way.

Sorry, I can understand why some people would love this. It's nicely done, it just feels cold and generic to me.

I like this a lot! I am not usually a fan of blue, but didn't think it looked cold even though I normally prefer warmer colors. I like their style!

I like the kitchen. The aqua with orange accents work well with the cabinetry and create a warm, happy space. I also like the grey chair in the living room with the sheepskin, and butterfly wallpaper in the baby's room.

As for the living/dining spaces, it could just be the pictures, but the wall, carpet, and sofa color all look really similar, which creates a cold, monochromatic effect despite the added pattern and color. I think the space needs some more warmth and texture (case in point, the grey wall paper really stands out in the hall with the wood floors). I know you can't change out the carpet now, but maybe replacing the zebra skin with a large, richly colored jute rug would add some texture and warmth? Also, because the color and pattern are so concentrated in the living space, the dining area sort of fades into the greyness. Maybe some decorative elements on the sideboard in colors that tie in with your living room accent colors would help unify the spaces.

Love it. Open, airy, stylish, and color!

Whilst I like the shades of grey used, the living room does seem a bit cold. It would look much warmer with a wood floor, or if that is not within their budget, lots of area rugs in warm colours. The geometric wallpaper is nice, but I would limit its use to the entrance hall.

Really loving those trunks turned coffee tables.

Oh and yay carpet! It's nice to see carpeting too.

That amazing coffee table looks like it is actually 2 antique Chinese wedding chests pushed together with a piece of glass on top. Quite expensive and hard to find- yet they're credited to West Elm.
I wonder why? Seems odd.

Otherwise- it is an interesting place with some really nice design choices.

exquisite!

great tour
pi very annoying

I think the zebra rug would look better in the bedroom. There are to many pillows in the living room maybe just have three different ones in the whole living room. I am confused by the art work over the white cabinet in the dining room, the art looks good but the cabinet is out of place. The trunks need a different spot.Lots of people seem to think they have eclectic spaces, I really don't find that here. Not that there is anything wrong with it! It Looks store bought not collected.

I really like this, and you can tell the owner is having fun playing around with styles. She said her home is where she likes to take a risk, and I say more power to her. I love the wallpaper in the nursery, so precious! And the paint in the master bedroom is so lovely and soothing. Fun tour!

I love this house and I disagree with people who say it is cold. I find the eclectic mix of patterns and colors really exciting. Beautiful!

I think it would look better if there wasn't any art work on the trellis wall paper and the white shelves are up to high and to close together.

Hello, Hyde Park! Miss you! And your gorgeous, brilliant residents!

Ew, whats with all this grey lately, its a dull old colour....I guess its just the whim of the moment. Generic and hotel like, not cozy, couldn't live there.

this is one of the better posts on a/t right now. no floor plan, some vignettes, one jarring chevron rug, not enough stuff, lots of mcm, yet mostly nicely done. want to link this post to the person who recently asked 'what colour grey should i paint my room?' & to the one worried about decorating the kid's room so it does not get stale & to the one who asked about reupholstering the mcm sofa. good mix of expensive & not.

I love this house. It's got the look and feel that I am trying to achieve in my own home, and it warms my heart to see the wall-to-wall carpeting. We have it, my husband loves it, and it is my compromise for him. We have area rugs over it, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It's nice to see a house that has made the carpeting work. Thank you!

I enjoyed this house tour. I wish the wallpaper in the nursery was available to everyone! I've seen a number of good examples lately on AT of wallpaper used in a limited way to add interest.

I was glad to see One Kings Lane listed as a source. Some of the stuff is really pricey, but you can get some good art and furniture and pillow bargains on the site.

Love the pops of red, not to mention the bedroom colors, reminds me of a national geographic!

My place has a very similar wall color and the effect is very relaxing (I wish I had that wallpaper though!). It is a very nice place but I have a question about the carpet in the living room: do you think this wall and carpet color scheme would work throughout an entire unit?

wish the wallpaper in the 'evelyn' nook was carried further to go wall-to-wall - very distracting that its side loaded like that, sorry. Personally like the dining room the best, between the Saarinen table, wallpaper and floating cabinet its nice and calm.

I didn't like it at first, but then I loved it, now I want to live there. Chicago has such great spaces.

Wow - what a view! I love eveylyn's wall paper! I just bought 4 folding chairs - similar to your red chair at the desk! I was going to paint them black - but I'm thinking now something bright and funky! The crate and barrel chairs are a beautiful color! Thanks so much for sharing!!

That nursery is everything! It's not too cutesy but still just right for a child's room. LOVE Hyde Park, too! Glad you're in a historic building.
