Gorgeous . . . please share paint colors!

I second the request for paint colors, thx!

Where did you get the picture ledge that's in the hallway? Seems like a basic enough thing, but I've been looking everywhere for that exact type.

I love that piece of glass above the vintage tub; I never thought of doing that. Maybe that will be my next home improvement project.

i love the shades in the living/dining rooms. where did you get them? is the shade curved at the bottom? or is that part of the window?

thanks!

Nice to see a non-gut rehabbed apartment beautifully furnished and decorated in a more current style. Nicely done.

I absolutely adore your color palette!! LOVE shades of gray!!

"Immaculate" doesn't always mean sterile and lifeless, does it?

What a warm and family friendly place. You did a wonderful job and I am most impressed you did it with two young children. You must be a great team! Is the tub in the bathroom original to the space? If not, could you please share where you got it and how you set the glass panel in place?

all sooooo nice! love it all! i agree, go for origianal art. there will never be the right time to buy it, so just buy it!

yikes. nice colors, stuff, but brrrrr.

Lovely!

The palette in this place is sublime. Although I couldn't live there myself (I'd clutter it up with my crap within a day), I love everything about it. It speaks so clearly (and well) of the people who live there.

Fantastic art collection, too.

Thanks for all the kind words people. We love it too. More importantly, our kids really love it. They freak out every time we get home after traveling.

A couple people have mentioned the glass on the tub. The tub is original to the unit. We really hated the idea of a shower curtain in there. The glass guys drilled two small pilot holes in the tub rim and set the rail on those. We figured a couple holes weren't that big of a deal considering the tub had been re-glazed a few times.

The shades in the living room and the master bedroom were here (and by the looks of them, have been here a while).

The rug was bought from Overstock. It's a fantastic source for floor coverings.

We're working on the paint colors. They are in a file someplace.

Thanks again.

One last thing...it's a shameless plug I know, but one of the artists who is featured prominently in our collection is James Westwater. He's good friend, and I represented him when I had the gallery. His home was just featured in Readymade Magazine. It's definitely worth a look. It's an amazing place.

Yikes! Is that a crack in the bathroom tile floor?
If so, are you going to repair it and with what?

Are the living room shelves/desk custom? Very, very cool bookends. And who made this wonderful smaller desk/shelf combo in the master bedroom?

Also, yay Roger's Park! We lived there for five years and I still miss being able to catch a movie at the Village North with five minutes' notice.

@aztar: The picture ledge here look's like Ikea's Ribba Picture Ledge. The front is shorter than West Elm's white wood picture ledges.

I've also been considering West Elm's metal picture ledge.

I second thorndale's "exquisite". Clean, airy yet down to earth yet sophisticated. Very inspiring for me.

I'm in love with Shelly Klein's "Birds and the Bees".

I think it's lacking something too - maybe more colour? Too much black, I think, especially for a home with 2 small kids.

Love your place! I don't at all get the feeling of coldness like others have commented. To me, the openness, light, and lack of clutter feel delightfully comfortable. Love your use of the 40/4 chairs in the dining room--I've been contemplating doing this myself. Great use of textural elements. Cheers!

Curious about the Tufty Time replica sofa--is it holding up well?

The Wassily chairs looks so uncomfortable and more like some kind of torture device.

WOW!!!!! And you got kids and pets!!!!

This place looks sooooo civilized!!!!

I can live on that couch/daybed I just need a fridge next to it!! It's just too amazing.

Love this place!

How do you like your wood countertops? I am considering them. Are they kid friendly?

I see the immaculate but could use more whimsy. But that's my taste. Great design though.

Love so much - the kids spaces, the grey couches, the charcoal wall (not the chalkboard one, the other one) the ingenious pot hanger in wated space (I will be copying that this weekend!).

Two think struck me as out of place - the rug under the dining room table (but maybe it is just because you have kids and a dog), and the curtains behind the daybed (too precious?)

I am in awe of your neatness and organization.

So inspired by your art collection!

Being an avowed modern minimalist, I find I am rarely excited about houses with the sort of exuberance that this home has...too much stuff for me.

But...WOW! This place is fabulous! I love the the colors, love most of the stuff, especially the old Webster's. What year was that printed??? Bet you won't find 'chillax' in that one! Hate the sofa though, it looks like a discarded butterfly chysalis. It just doesn't go with the rest of the stuff.

So, congrats, you have a lovely lovely home!

Can I echo the request for some paint colors? Specifically, the master bedroom?

Thank you! Your house is gorgeous...love the color palette.

This apartment is too sweet and humble to be cold. I love it. Especially the bathroom cracked tile. The color is mesmerizing; it reminds me of Farrow and Ball's Down Pipe.

I'd love an apartment like this, sweet, spare, surrounded with all the things and people I loved most.

I love the gray walls, warmed up by the wood floor, and the white woodwork. This place looks so big because there's no clutter and no carpeting.

My brother has a home that was built around the same time period with the exact same bathroom floor as this. He refuses to replace/cover it, also.

It's cute how the dog looks mildly peeved at having his home photographed.

I like that the homeowners admit that having kids is an indulgence, rather than a necessity. And I think this is a great home for kids - spacious and simple.

I love everything but the grey sofa...too many crevices! My favorite rooms are the kid's rooms. Are the dog heads bookends? Where are they from?

At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this, but after going thru the rooms I fell in love. I'm sure I'd have it cluttered up in no time. It's simplicity is beautiful.

Nice place! I like the roominess a lot.

We have the same 40/4 chairs as dining room chairs. They look great but are pretty hard on the old tush after awhile. Does anyone know if it is possible to get cushions for them?

The red chair and ottoman is amazing. Where is it from?

Hey ChrisGal...don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Wassily chairs are surprisingly comfortable. I've had a pair for years and they are always quickly taken when we have guests. They are certainly more comfortable and supportive than your typical squishy overstuffed 'shabby-chic' chintz-printed horror!

Everybody's missing the most important point: what the hell is an underground charcuterie producer? (I'm stuck on the "underground" part of that phrase...)

Beautiful home, though! :-)

I almost screamed while at my desk here at work! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's one of the best I have seen....so not overly done or ripped out of a magazine. I love homes like this!

We have the same Unison bedspread! I got it at the warehouse sale!!

Keisha: We did too!

jweddi: I make enough to keep me really busy but not enough to offer it to everyone. :-)

I don't know where the dog heads bookends are from. We've had them as long as we've had labs. So, a while.

There have been a couple of comments about the bathroom tile. Frankly, the master bath was one of the main reasons we bought the place: cracked tile and all. The photo doesn't even show the majority of the imperfections, but to us they really spoke to the age of the house, and as we filled the place with our stuff, the bathrooms became even more and more important. It's like living with a large antique...that we get to bath in. We love the combination of worn and ancient with modern. The dining room chandelier is another example. It was here when we bought the place. It's pretty beat up, but we love it.

@Sisterfunkhaus: That's the womb chair. You can get one from a ton of places. Just google it.

gorgeous! so lovely and clean.

I really like this place, but that living room is screeeaaming for wall color! :)

The bathroom is really nice, and the kitchen is so warm & homey. I love the color in Uma's room.

I'd live here in a heart beat - well done guys, it's a beautiful home.

Wow, what a wonderful home you have! You have done a great job!

I'm dying to know who makes the bench/coffee table in the living room. I saw an identical one in a Rue Magazine spread just last night. Please, please, if anyone knows, do tell!

Hannasuj It's a George Nelson bench made by Herman Miller.

I would also like to know about the living room shelves/desk. I am looking to add a desk to my living room that doesn't look like out of place. Something like this would be quite nice.

@hannasusj: that's a nelson platform bench, and they're available from a number of sources: hive modern, yliving, room and board, design within reach

Bravo for a job well done!! Clean, bright, organized and kid friendly!! Quite a lot of elements to balance, but you pulled it off nicely with personal touches and a great sense of character to your space! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful! I love the combination of vintage apartment and modern furnishings, and I love Rogers Park. The art is fantastic as well.

Could you share the name of the wood-slat geometric wire bed frames from IKEA? I would love to find them. Thank you!

Loved your space.
Have a little tip, I've heard of for your bathroom floor. Grate chips of white wax into crack and melt with hairdryer, pushing wax in with a spatular. Apparently wax won't grow mould.
Also a great mould killer is a couple of drops of clove oil into a litre of water in a spray bottle. Take 24hrs to kill but your bathroom smells great. You wash the spores away after with white vinegar.

"Fisher Price landscape" =) - very cute, and clever, hah hah

I so love those old Rogers Park apartments! Lots of built-ins, wood floors, sunrooms, enclosed porches, glass doorknobs . . .

Stunning. Speechless.

I love your kitchen! Where did you get your faucet?

I wish I could stay so uncluttered!
I love everything about it! The art is very cool...and your dog is super cute :)

All of the items in the home are beautiful...*GREAT* eye, wonderful taste!

Somehow, the house feels....cold. All of the elements are there to create a warm and cozy home, but it feels like there's something missing in the energy...and it looks to me that everything was arranged "too" precisely, such as when butlers used to measure the exact distance between objects in a place setting (as depicted in "Remains of the Day").

[I don't typically make "unconstructive" comments like this, but maybe I'm not the only one who feels this way? Regardless, yes...beautiful home, and there's a lot of deserved love from AT readers. :)]

I love that pantry.

I believe the shutters are covering an air conditioner. Great idea and it looks SO much better than the actual a/c. Beautiful design.
