Very nice!

West-facing unit on Printers Row? My best guess from the view out of your windows and the ceiling.

Actually in the Lakeview/Lincoln Park area. Not a ton of industrial lofts up here but this is one of em.

u/BeeslyBeaslyBeesley 1d ago

Here I thought I was clever. I immediately thought of Printers Row and the very northern part of the South Loop when I saw the ceilings. Maybe on Wabash.

Great place! Enjoy it, and have some Portillo’s for me.

This is sarcastic right?

No. My only context for knowing about her was from when I lived in Japan. Maybe she's well known beyond that but I was unaware. I was genuinely surprised to see that name.

She's one of the most well known and popular living artists.

Ever since I joined Cozyplaces I’ve wanted to buy a home and it’s really hitting my MH.

u/Pieceman11 1d ago

That’s a really cool place!! Can you share where you got the lamp in your 3rd pic?

9

u/Cmac2011 1d ago

Sure! It’s a cheapo Amazon lamp with a smartbulb. Unsure if I can post links here. It’s called the KDG modern floor lamp.

u/Pieceman11 1d ago

Thank you! That is super cheap!!

u/Upset_Worldliness869 1d ago

What about the spherical hanging one? And does it dim? Love the look

3

u/Cmac2011 1d ago

It’s a Noguchi pendent lamp.

This one is from Huga Collective – 31 inch. It has a smartbulb in it so yes, it does dim despite not being on a dim switch.

u/iknowbill 1d ago

So Nice!

u/bravotipo 1d ago edited 1d ago

Holy cow. Amazing. Did you hire a decorator or was it all yours idea?

u/Cmac2011 1d ago

Thanks! I have some friends that are interior designers that were helpful for some gut checks, but overall found everything on my own!

Some stuff was purchased new, but a good amount of FB marketplace sourcing too.

u/Ok-Bite2139 1d ago

What’s the info on those bedsheets,pillows,blankets, etc?

3

u/Cmac2011 1d ago

The tan is actually a duvet – it’s a tan waffle duvet cover from Bedsure on Amazon.

At the end of the bed is a weighted blanket from Bedgear.

This is such a silly question but that paper lamp you have I bought the same one and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install it. Lol. Did you have someone professionally install it or?

Also congrats! Wicker park over here❤️

u/Cmac2011 19h ago

Yeah I had an electrician install it!

Where did you get the art above your bed?

1

u/Cmac2011 3h ago

I got these secondhand off FB marketplace but there are plenty of prints of her work online.

u/Felicity110 17h ago

Is it expensive to heat. Whose pet on bed? Amenities in building ?

u/freeman918986 1d ago

That bubbly print looks out of place with your bedroom furniture. I really like the style of your bed!
