Great space, the headboard and bathroom window are extremely creative. Nice!!!!

I am actually looking to sell the loft currently and the bathroom has been recently renovated. Black heated marble mosaic floors, floor to ceiling subway tile, all Grohe and Duravit fixtures, seamless glass door. Plus leaving many custom items and permanent fixtures such as the random light fixture, modern fan, Sony 50" Sony Aquos HDTV, computer monitor at desk...... etc. Literally move in ready with nothing to do. If interested e-mail me at amroczek@mac.com

wister5 - Please do……. that is a FANTASTIC idea. Capturing this pure love between your grandparents would be breathtaking and a memory to pass along for generations.

both boots are from a store in TX called Luskey’s, the red are their own model and the tan are Tony Lama. Cowboy boots are probably the most comfortable footwear period….. along with Australian Blundstones!

working from a remote location required a contractor who is 100% on your wavelength, able to reach & communicate with any time. If any visual questions needed answers he just sent a photo to my phone or email. I only had 8 weeks to make this renovation happen so multiple weekend trips were required along with a team of solid well orchestrated professionals. Thank you for the comments, Chicago has WAY to many cookie-cutter spaces. P.S. I am a big fan of your space, love the use of colors and furniture placement. Great comment about life not being fair – life is what you make it…. There was no silver spoon in this mouth, just values instilled from parents who immigrated to the States in 1972 with nothing but 2 suitcases. You’ll be surprised how far education, having a hard work ethic & being disciplined will take you.

thanks for liking my splatter painting….. had a hard time finding something to fill that space so figured would make my own. All you need is a spoon, plastic bowl and some good music….. make sure the canvas is already primed.

the desk, wall credenza & book/shoe shelving pieces were custom made by a local cabinet maker….. which were not that much more then regular priced pieces. All the white cabinets are from Ikea, including the PAX closet in the bedroom.

Thank you very much……the B&W photo in the foyer is my most prized procession….dabbling in photography I asked my grandfather if I could photograph his hands. As a farmer and laborer his entire life I wanted to capture their character and life built thru hard work.

correct the curtain and track were all purchased and tailored at Chicago Canvas and supply. Material used was Bleached White Muslin Drop. The fabric has a light translucency that creates a beautiful glow when the lights in the closet are on.

TRUE BLUE – you were right on with all the images…..nice! Initially much valuable real estate was being wasted. With only so much space to work with maximization of every nook & cranny was crucial.

Kathryn - the stairway led to an inefficient lofted space. We tore out the stairs in the renovation and used that area to create my closet, which maximized the space of the bedroom.
