I cannot believe this awesome 1877 mansion in Chicago, Illinois. It’s only $6M, but it’s worth it.
Gorgeous entrance- look at that light fixture.
Look at that fireplace. Now, the home was built in 1877, but it must’ve been revamped in the 1920s somewhere along the line, b/c it turns into beautiful Art Deco design in other places.
On the main floor, here, is the original ornate grandeur.
The kitchen was completely remodeled and clearly, they didn’t skimp on quality.
Here we are in an Art Deco sitting room. Isn’t it fabulous? Look at the fireplace.
Magnificent Art Deco TV room.
And, check out the sink in this powder room. That is so unique.
Classy Art decor stairs. Look at the stripes on the carpet. So sleek.
The home has 5 bdms. This is the main one, and it’s back to the 1877 style.
It has a modern closet and remodeled en suite bath.
There are 7.5 baths, so all the bdms have access to their own baths.
The stairs going up to the next level go back to the 1877 style.
Glad there’s a kitchenette, b/c by the time I get up these stairs, I’m ready for a snack.
There’s a modern home office on this level. I feel like a time traveler.
Look what else is up here- this gorgeous sun room in Art Deco style.
And, it opens to a fabulous roof deck.
A sink is conveniently up here in case you want to do plants, b/c this would make an amazing conservatory.
And, not to worry, b/c there’s an elevator.
Here we are on the lower level where there’s a grand fireplace.
And, a wine cellar.
Plus, another kitchenette, b/c navigating this house is exhausting.
As if you wouldn’t get enough exercise on the stairs.
More bedrooms down here.
This is a rear entrance - beautiful.
Exquisite home.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (British/Scottish, 1868-1928)
Charles Mackintosh was an art deco designer, architect, watercolourist, and painter.
The newly restored Willlow Tea Rooms contain furnishings designed by Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret, as well as light fixtures and even cutlery.
Charles, his future wife Margaret, James Macnaire and Margaret's sister Frances Macdonald worked as a team to encorporate the fusing of Art Deco with elongated forms, flowing lines, restrained color, symbolism, geometric patterns, and emphasis on the rectilinear. This unique style became known as the Glasgow Style.

I didn’t post it when Emmanuel Hebert posted his living room, but now he’s posted more of his home’s progression and I just have to share it. This is Manoir Blackswan in Canada. Of it, Emmanuel says, “Here's a few pictures of my ever evolving home which gathered lots of interests in the past weeks on this group!”
“Welcome to my world,” says Emmanuel.
“I am currently working on 4 new rooms concept, the Red Room, the Stripe Room, the Tea Room/Boudoir and the Dollhouse Room. Also next spring will be the beginning of my 2000sq2 French Garden construction!” (This was the only room he posted before and I fell in love with it.)
Is this not amazing? Some members thought that the living room was a lamp store!
“We finally finished building the three floor staircase! Now it’s sanding and staining time! The color of the staircase will be the same as the right front newel post and the doors, some kind of cognac, patinated tiger oak finish. Also, the third floor staircase wall will become black as well!.” he said.
The moody stair case, hallway and landing.
Making the most of a tiny room. Now, this looks interesting.
Beautiful new shower- look you can keep plants in it.
So pretty.
The bd. is getting an MCM flair.
Art Deco Powder Room, design by Emmanuel. It has a 12 ft. ceiling, plaster moldings, 1920’s Porcelain Pedestal Sink and beautiful lighting. The ceiling fixture is a late 1920’s French Art Deco nickeled bronze fixture. “ Lighting is the jewelry of a home,” says Emmanuel.
Can’t wait to see what he does w/the finished attic.
“Getting some crazy pieces on my treasure hunting trip these days! Here’s a massive late 19th century Victorian Pier Mirror! Quite a find! “
“My newest acquisition, a set of 9 thrones and 2 pedestals dating from 1870’s and made in Napanee, Ontario by Gibbard Furniture. The set was commissioned for a Odd Fellow’s Lodge.”
“Treasure hunting of the day, a monstrous pair of early 20th century cast iron floor candelabras salvaged straight from its original church. They stand at 68” tall and weight about 100 pounds each!” (Does he know how to shop, or what???)
And, this a photo of a moody dramatic Sunday night in his living room. I can’t wait to see the rest of house when it’s finished.
