LIVING AREA Bought my first home – a cozy Chicago loft

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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❤️

Where did you get the art above your bed?

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

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