That timbered ceiling is to die for. Wow.

whoa! let me just say hi to John first. ok, now I am gonna go check out the HT.

I love the outdoor living room! Those pillows in the bedroom and outdoor living room are pretty awesome. Great space!

Good lord that is one fine slice of man.

Anyway, about the apartment: I love the ecclectic style of this home, it really nails that theme. Lately I've seen a lot of "ecclectic" rooms on blogs that are just a mishmash of stuff that don't blend at all. If you were to put a picture next to ecclectic in the dictionary it should come from this house. I would love to recreate this look in my home, owner included.

Also: "who dusts all this crap?" Hilarious!

Seriously, all these LA homes make me want to move to LA. Except I'm probably not pretty enough (judging by John) and I'm scared of earthquakes. Beautiful home!

The house is beautiful - but John is HOTT! YUM. ;-)

just love, love, LOVE THE PATIO!

Ok here's my more grown-up opinion of the actual home:
Beautiful job in the kitchen. The effort was well worth it.
That outdoor room is AMAZING and I need one!
My husband would probably wonder who is going to dust it all as well, but I'm impressed that it still doesn't feel cluttered even though you are displaying so much. Very well done!
PS. You're still super hot. :)

we should stop having pictures of men on house tours. it creates for unnecessary influence.

I loved the chest by the window, the colors that were used on the kitchen cabinetry. And, the pair of jeans on John.. they looked good on him (ok, that's for another website). I'm really surprised that there is only 1 bedroom in this 1500sqft house. Very spacious!

Maybe because I am having a very deluxe lunch as I look at this, but rich and yummy, come to mind. About the beautiful wood surfaces of the tables!
I covet that little assembled bird on the ball.
Inspired by the patio with pavers and grass.

Oh my...I just got to the end to see that fabulous outdoor room. I sort of run out of words other than 'perfect' for it. You could propose to someone with that room.

Sick! I could curl up in this house and be happy for the rest of my life. Stunning.

Beautiful, beautiful gardens!

This is a gorgeous and elegant home. I could do without the Oprah quote and the man jewelry, though.

Stunning! Not one detail missed indoors or out.

Lovely place. And lovely guy - jewelry included!

I want the yard!

It's nothing I haven't seen before, very LA/California. The backyard makes the house. The structure itself is great to work with. The interiors and accesories are like I said, nothing we all haven't seen before here on AT. It's great all in all...

Gorgeous man. Gorgeous home. When can I move in?

Love this house, especially the living room and outdoor space. Now I'm dying to have a bedroom leading out onto a garden!

The masks on the wall seriously creep me out, though.

Love the house, the patio, the owner and his jewelry!
We used to live in the Miracle Mile district and I miss that lovely Spanish architecture. Mr. Coulter has made a beautiful home for himself.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Lovely home! So cozy, warm, and full of love! BTW- what kind of plants are those in the living room and dining room? I love the big leaves and sculptural quality. It's beautiful!

Jkim55- the plant in the living room is a fiddle leaf fig.

There was a house?...

Love the chandelier and masks from Venice among other things.

It's lovely for some. But, for me, there was no where for my eye to rest. There were many beautiful things to look at...a few too many. I feel that if it were my house, I would do some editing and rotate my collections.

Ah!, the Beautiful Life! I would also love to see John's take on Halloween. I am sure it would be something interesting and fun!

You have a Cameroonian Ju-Ju headdress so yep I loves ya! Great home handsome.

WOWSERS. Another AT hottie in the house! Oh...speaking of which, he has one of those too? Guess I better go take a peek! ;-)

Adorable. I think my favorite thing is the Oprah quote on the chalkboard.

Great place - lots of style with a comfortable lived in quality... this house is like a great pair of jeans - better with wear!! Love all of your collections!

So, is this Halloween party on the 31st? We will be right over.

Seriously. Great. House.

yummy...ahem,,i mean the house

I really love the kitchen cabinetry work. It caught my eye immediately. There are so many beautiful and distinctive touches everywhere. This place is so original, so well thought out. Placement is everything and he's got the Midas touch. It all fits, complements and dazzles with originality. Keep the man jewelry, it works.

Love Pier 723's (and Quiltmaster's) comments! :-)

John Coulter is a very famous male model so I wish he had more quality in his home. Z-gallery and Target brands are not quality enough to last.

John is more than just a pretty face. His great attitude about his belongings is refreshing, and I really do love the style of the home. I'm totally in love with those Kilim-covered cube things.

Yummm...when I stop gazing at him and have a look at the apartment, I'll give you my opinion on that, too.

I kept asking myself, did this man really decorate this place? or did he have a live-in girlfriend for a while? i mean this place is fabulous! every little detail is perfect. i love the lamps, the dining set, the overhead amazing light over the dining set, and the outdoor room. BUT wait a minute John, is that your bedroom? that has to be just a weird guest room right? That angel over the bed and animal print pillows just screams cheezey to me. whoa! make over that room and then do some overall home editing to eliminate at least a few things.... and i think your home would be my favorite of all times! thank you for opening it to us and exposing yourself so much!! hahahaha! i just said 'exposing yourself'..... btw-yes you are so hott w the jewelry!!

John's background in fine art shows all over...
I just loved the coffee table, I am going to look for something similar.....

I srsly thought this was one of HGTV's "Property Brothers" guys when I first looked at him.

Love the kitchen, though!

Wow!!!! Looks too great and trendy. Transmission flush

Y'all should Google image "John Coulter". Just saying. :D

lawd, I thought this was a home decorating / design site. Now I'm distracted by this fine young man, ok, nice house..

so impressed! i hope i can have a place like this one day, especially love the outdoor area. would love to see a tour when its call decorated and tim burtoned.

Way to be sexist, people. You know these comments wouldn't float if the gender was reversed.

That Fortuny lamp - worth every penny. Georgeous.

Plus, I love the outdoor space; it's really beautiful.

Chill out, @tome. John's a model and is paid to look gorgeous and be ogled. Obviously, he is VERY good at his job. :)

The patio is absolutely perfect.

Gorgeous, all of it, but especially that outdoor space.

@jess13 "Good lord that is one fine slice of man.". I can't get past that pic. SMDH

I knew this would be an entertaining set of comments the moment I saw the first pic : ) The home is absolutely gorgeous, and the back yard is amazing! I have the same set of glasses shown in the back yard. Funny.

Trying to figure out how he gets some of those tropical plants to thrive so well outside in Chicago.

@Elisha, Et Cetera , those brothers are very yums too!

@mmmmmel , thank you for directing our attentions.. =D

quiltmaster... HAHAHAHA! very funny!! :)

LOVE the house! And that outside sitting area absolutely wonderful... the fireplace, the furniture and the mirror. It's perfect.

Love that bedroom and the outside. I would love to relax in that bed and have a nice cold drink outside.

Sorry, but if you want people to focus on the home, you better leave John's picture off of the article!!! Yowser!! Thanks for the afternoon pick me up!! Oh, and the home is great too....lol....

I LOVE the houe tour except that there are no photos of the bathroom! :-(
Love the pops of red. LOVELY!

What house tour? Oh, sorry was still ogling that profile picture of John. Great house, love that bedroom (angel and all) and the outdoor space. Call me John and I'll come over and "dust that crap"......Beautiful house, beautiful man!

designrchick, his house is in the Los Angeles Miracle Mile neighborhood, not Chicago's.

love everything about it! my dream house! feels so homey :)

Perfection. It is so difficult to find that right balance between displaying all our memories and dreams in our home in a way we can enjoy, and not having it look either too spare, with nothing of ourselves, or so full of crap, we can't appreciate it. What and eye for that perfect balance. I also love the balance of color. All the calm neutrals and wood, with beautiful pops of color. This is clearly one of the best homes I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

I'm not sure what happened to my previous comment (was it removed because I said I didn't care for the decor?). At any rate, I was a little underwhelmed by this house. Yes, there were some very nice pieces, but just too much stuff. I'm sure the owner loves it, and that's what decorating is all about - individual tastes - but I prefer a cleaner look.

Love everything about your home. You have an amazing sense of color and design. It all works so beautifully together. Backyard "outdoor room" is fabulous.
Your website is amazing. I just clicked on your name and there it was. What a talent!!

I absolutely love it! fantastico! I also have the Oprah quote on my board, that was nice to see, It reminds me everyday, that I choose my energy. I thank you for the ideas, I hope you don't mind sharing? thank you

Not my style per se, but that backyard space is just beautiful. I want to lay out under that pergola and drink martinis :)

house ok, guy overstyled. (fabio)

designed by a live in girlfriend? that's one thought...

actually, he is also an artist. he draws, paints, makes faeries, does hair and makeup and events.

the paintings are actually interesting.

Who took these pictures? Wonderful photography! They really know how to express the wonderful feeling of this place!

Cool Paul

Like the house, but Hydrangea!!! What would Madonna say.

Beautiful! I love the doors to the back yard from the bedroom.

I just clicked on his name and it linked me to his design studio. Wow - talented in many ways. Good looking - talented - great house.....hmmm he must have some faults ;)

I love this style and the photos are beautiful. great tour!

I Googled him and now I need a cigarette!

Hi John, don't know if your answering questions but could you tell me what sort of plant that is in the dining room?? Cheers BTW Love the outdoor area lovely

Hey John
Your place looks great! Happy to see you found a spot for our pillows. Thanks!
Trina

What a beautifully curated home. I love it! John you have an "eye" for detail. This is right up my alley! Eclectic and full of color and personality. I can't think of enough adjectives to describe how much I loved this home tour.

Your home is gorgeous, and your design website was really interesting.

Kudos! Warm and relaxed, yet endlessly artistic.

I remember seeing John modeling in men's fashion magazines. I hope he's not related to Ann Coulter.

House? What house? I'm not past the first photo yet!

I grew up in LA Westside, in a 1920s Spanish home. I've seen hundreds of versions of the featured house, done many ways. John has done an exceptional job in keeping the decorating restrained and in keeping away from trendy decor or too much ornamentation (many people will paint or stencil the ceiling beams).

The one thing that puzzles me is that lost corner in the living room where the round table is.

Btw, I recognize those baby heads from Etsy!
