I don't want this to come off as backhanded at all, but it is so nice to see someone who is successful and so lovely normalize having to live with your parents in certain seasons of life. From a fellow temporary parents home dweller in her early 20s, thank you❤️
Yes! And to say that you like living with them. I loved living with my folks! We all knew it was temporary when I moved back (twice), and that just made it that much sweeter!
Agreed!! My in laws just bought a condo in FL, my husband and I can work from anywhere so we're suuuuper pumped to head down and escape MI winter! At first I was like "Is it weird we're basically living at my in law's vacation home?" than I was like "...fuck it, as long as they don't care I don't give a shiz what anyone else thinks. I hate snow too much" lol
its so weird because in my culture parents DIE to live with kids forever. Like literally we have to fight and scream to move out for one year and they cry because they miss us so much daily
OK WHAT!!! There's a picture of your parents living room on pinterest that I've been swooning over forever and I can't believe it's their house!!! That's crazy.
It's nice to see a bookshelf just full of books. I'm so used to seeing the bookshelves all perfectly decorated with books just used as props to hold plants and knick knacks. It's OK to just have a bookshelf full of BOOKS, too! Makes me totally want to hang out in that room with a cozy fire, glass of wine and just grab a book to read. I also get the "Paris" thing. It was never even on one of my "MUST VISIT" lists and Italy truly is my favorite but there is just something about Paris. I just made my first gallery wall in my new apt and four of the pics are framed prints that I took in Paris. I'm a fairly decent photographer so they are really lovely photos - not just the typical tourist snapshots. I love your parent's home. It's beautiful but also so warm and inviting.
That hidden pantry is completely 100% amazing. In 2022 vernacular it's lit. You asked several times for an opinion of the curtains in front of the closet so I will be honest. They would drive me crazy both in how it looks to have them be the closet "door" and having to pull at them every time I needed something in the closet. But I have no idea what other door arrangement is possible for that space. The rest of the place is stunning and beautifully decorated. Except for the fluorescent bulbs. But you knew that.
I agree WRT the curtains. I really like how the pattern meshes with the overall decor, but I'd find them fussy as a closet door, particularly with the added length. *However,* I'm a contrarian who loathes almost all closet doors. (Regular doors that have space to fully open up are good, and the space needs to be able to accommodate a permanently open door. Accordion and sliding doors make me angry.) Unsurprisingly, I've yanked the doors off of most of my closets. :) My non-closet input is that I think that the chandelier looks like exposed wires *and* I think that it's fantastic - definitely a great choice to keep it. And your parents have a fantastic space!
My opinion on curtains is that they should only dress windows. It’s what god intended. Even shower curtains are weird and unsightly, lol. I don’t hate Susan’s curtains but I would dislike them less on windows ;)
I don’t hate fabric as a closet door, but I really do hate the fabric…But then, all things Cape Cod make me nauseous. Except for the actual cape - ocean and lobsters are great, but they don’t belong in homes. Just my opinion. With all of that said, they make curtain rods that move like doors - one on each side of the door. That might be your middle ground between doors and curtains. Plus, those split curtains are very turn-of-the-century, in style.
This is literally my dream home. Just very jealous here😍 Only thiing I would perhaps do is have slightly bolder art here and there, but the balance of antique, midcentury and contemporary is absolutely incredible. Adding this in as an after thought, the house is the perfect merger or English and French architecture and interior design. Don't know what Chicago houses look like, but there's definitely English and French elements there, so I can see your obsession with those vibes Paige
Your parents home is elegant, warm and inviting. The ship curtain is a nice touch of whimsy. I appreciate the way Susan (and you) have pulled together a cohesive look with unique pieces. The architecture in the home is chefs kiss, and your parents seem like people I could hang out with. I share your Dad’s opinion of Obama. I mean, what’s not to love about that phenomenal human being?
Thank you for serving us the content we didn't know we needed. I adore your parent's home and the laid-back, calming editing/filming style you chose. Honestly, I love every single one of your videos!
*Juxtaposition* . I *LOVE* this home. The architecture is stunning, the simple furnishings with the pop of unexpected really make the space. This home feels styled, relaxed and cozy while pulling in more modern elements. The light fixture in the dining room is a win for me and I enjoy seeing the mix of high/low in furniture/styling pieces. I would love a hidden pantry. This home is A.D. worthy for sure. Let's dine alfresco in that gorgeous garden.
Had to watch this on my big screen TV bcs I was so excited!! The fact that your parents decided to keep all the architecture and some unique choices from previous owners really help pull the switch in making this home f*cking awesome (as well as taking your advice on a few great finds). Kinda selling me on Chicago. Also - the chandelier in the living room reminds me of the end of a witch’s broomstick (which could be a be a vibe I guess, but I’d personally opt for something different).
Having been born and raised in Chicago (yes, in the city, not suburbs) this video clearly shows some of the best details of three-flat homes. Your parents home is beautiful with all the architectural details. I love the fireplace with mirror, the hidden pantry with that amazing mirrored door. Like you, I too love small kitchens. Can you at least share what neighborhood they live? There are so many cool ones. I miss Chicago!😢
Holy s**t dude. That great room is SO GOOD. And the dining, and kitchen, and that bathroom vanity IS INCREDIBLE. Like I’m mad about it. Also all the plants are so good. Congrats to Susan and Mark (and you) on great taste.
What an amazing space! Love the details. Very cozy without being fussy. Love you did day and night shots. The warm glow in the evening is divine! Ur parents are too cute with your mom patting her pillow as she gets ready for bed. Thank you and them for sharing their space with us
You get to LIVE HERE??? I'm so envious. Honestly, would love to see how they decorate their living area for the holidays. I imagine it to be super duper cozy
This was nice 😊 I mostly enjoyed how easy it is to see how much you guys love each other, and the cute family stories like your dad wearing your medal on your birthday ❤ The wire-y chandelier: what I can tell you for certain is that it is perfect for Halloween! It reminds me of a haunted winter forest.
Love the sailboat curtains, obsessed with the print. Hate the chrome broom chandelier on its own, but kinda like it in the space? Like the college boys, coffee table, it gives that room a little sparkle.
“I probably shouldn’t be going through this drawer. I wonder what else is in here”? You crack me up! Love the apartment. Cool place to land while in crisis.
Love this! Classic Chicago architecture, great style, what’s not to love? I think the closet curtains are a fun touch, and the pantry is so cool. As a transplanted Chicago girl I understand completely how you feel about the city.
Paige, I’ve been watching your videos over and over. I’m going through a crisiseseses as well (divorce) and I find your stuff so light hearted even if it’s not your intention. Thanks for this, I’m gonna go off and buy an ashtray off Etsy now
Pristine taste! The chandelier is cool, but messy, and the curtains grew on me. Your dad seems like the guy who genuinely enjoys being a father ❤ and so does your mom. Y’all are a lovely and a close fam ❤
Thank you for appreciating Chicago architecture so much! I get so sad walking around the city sometimes seeing gorgeous houses get knocked down or remodeled into the boxy-modernized crap that will fall apart in 5 years (looking at you Windy City Rehab 👀😆)
Wow, what an incredible home- I would definitely be living with my parents if they had this space, especially that cutie courtyard space!! Best part of Chicago is that traditional meets industrial feel. Honestly not a big fan of the chandelier. Love the mix of styles in the house generally, but since you asked- that piece does indeed looks like a big ole' electric wiring nightmare. Love the sailboat curtains though- kind of whimsical and fun compared to everything else!
I have that same round table you thrifted for $30…mine is from my grandmother and is definitely from the 1920’s. Your parents have a beautiful home…the architecture and the furnishings are to die for!
Love their sophisticated and lovely home! You can always tell when a home has been curated with some intention, rather than just bought. The space blends the old and new quite well. The cameo of your mom padding that red throw pillow was all we needed…. You clearly have her sass. Great video thank you for sharing! Ps. I like the sailboat curtains. I do not like the wire chandelier it look’s unkept and dangerous.
The entire “check out this fu**ing house” series is so good! Loved your parents place❤❤❤ also a BIG yay to the nautical curtains, those personal touches is what makes a home!
I love this F***ing Home! Love everything about this place including the sailboat curtains. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing it. My Grandparents lived in Chicago for 25 years & my whole family just adores Chicago.
Ugh…what a wonderful space! The architecture does half the work. And all of the treasures with stories. So inspiring. I like the sailboat curtains. That color that you blended so well into is warm and they are unique. ⛵️
I love your parents' home. Thanks for putting out such helpful and entertaining videos. Just wanted to let you know - I'm not sure if this is regional, but "outhouse" where I'm from means like a little out building with a toilet lol. So when you said someone "lives in this outhouse," I cracked up!
Beautiful home, architecturally awesome. I love all the posing you do in these videos. 😂 I would nix the broom chandelier, unless you’re going for a Halloween occult vibe. 🎃
Oh my goodness, I am just a couple minutes in and I am LOVING the architecture and all of the beautiful, traditional details. Gorgeous! 10:43 🙋♀️🙋♀️🤣
Your parents house is so cool, so lived in. I love the fact that they have curtains instead of closet doors. I needed closet doors in my room and since I couldn’t find something that gave me easy access at an affordable price, I opted for curtains instead. Love them
Love the house! You can really feel the… age and maturity (compliments obviously!!) of the design and collections that hopefully we all can achieve one day. Everything is so effortless and timeless!
I already always loved home tours, but the way you show the same spot at different points in day/different lighting scenarios and even throw in some rl action of people living life in the room... idk it just has such a cozy wholesome feel. It gives a much fuller experience. Anyhoo I found your channel recently and have been marathoning your videos. Thanks for the fun content (however my wallet is not thankful as I have now become too into lamps).
I had to pause on their bookcase. Half the books are the same ones I have on mine. Your mom and dad must be really cool! Love their home and your comments on it. 😊
Hi Paige. I'm from Chicago and I absolutely love the fact that your dad has a picture of Obama on such a prominent wall in their condo. Thanks for sharing. The place is very stylish.
I love the chandelier. I love a mixture of everything to make homes unique. It looks lived-in but polished at the same time. Do you remember Anne Archer and Michael Douglas' NY apartment in "Fatal Attraction?" Reminds me of that vibe and I love it. Great space. I also love how you love lighting in general and encourage people to get small canned lights to highlight corners and plants, etc... It really makes a space. The architectural details are wonderful!
OMGosh that's an incredible, f*cking home. I nearly shed a tear for the beautiful old door that was taken out of your parents' closet, though - that was basically sacrilegious.
Absolutely love Susan and Mark’s home!! I think the closet curtains are fun. Probably wouldn’t have picked them myself BUT the color pallet on them works well in the space 😂plus they match your outfit in the video!
Your parents sound/look so cool! Love the nautical curtains, don’t really like the chandelier, but absolutely loved the home❤ I love this series so much!!
Oh we were waiting for this video for so long. And it’s 100% worthy! Your mom has a great eye and taste And I love that there’s so many places to sit and talk Love it
Wow Paige I love your parents home and I can so relate to downsizing into a smaller more manageable space. We have just renovated a small two bedroom cottage beach house and have decided to make it our full time home. I'm not sure why but there's something about moving into a small charming space that feels like the right transition after raising a family in a larger more maintanence heavy home. I love the architectural detail of their condo but mostly I like the nods to their personal style, their obvious love of their daughter and family and I only wish I had done silhouettes of my three gorgeous sons!!! So so fun!! Thank you for sharing, k
Your parent's home is freaking GOOOOORGEOUS and I'm absolutely obsessed with the secret pantry. I also laughed out loud when you closed the closet curtains and your jacket was the exact same color. It was just so silly to me for some reason.
What a beautiful home. Actually love the sail curtains and wouldn’t press/steam them, the wrinkles just add to the charm-what a find! So jealous of the architecture. Awesome hidden pantry. Favorite, I have to agree is the bathroom vanity. I have never seen anything like it before. Thank you and your parents for sharing.
I also absolutely love the snippets of the video and the music in the beginning. It makes such a good mood. And then no music at all during the video. I love it.
I just found this series, the name got my attention. I've watched them all, please do more!!! Anyway I love the closet panels in your parents bedroom. I think the color is great.
I LOVE this house. I think it's the first interiors in a long time that I have the feeling of wanting to live there when I see it. I live in western Canada and none of our houses have this kind of old architecture and unique outdoor living. thanks for showing!
Love your parents' home. It's preppy but not boring. The architecture is amazing- that crown molding! And yes to keeping the sail boat curtains. The colors are great and it adds a little whimsy. Thanks for another great video and loved the night shots.
Love your parents’ home❤❤❤ it’s elegant and cozy, not fussy. Especially love the fireplace, bookcase, living room vibe! Hard no for me on the witches broom chandelier-maybe in a more modern space but it just seems too harsh here.
Yooo ahah i gotta say.. you crack me up so much. Your videos make me happy! Also, i pretty much have the same style/taste as you when it comes to home decor, so it's always a pleasure to watch your vids! Keep em commin!! Also also, your parents have a really nice home :)
Their home is beautiful, looks super cozy but elegant. I think the chandelier is pretty cool, even though it's not something I'd pick out. I love the curtains in the bedroom, too, but trying to decide if I'd like it better with a different paint color. Also the tiny bathroom sink is adorable.
Love their house! Did not like the sail boat curtains - I’m not sure if it’s more the pattern or the color that seems off with the rest of the room but they’re def struggling. The millwork throughout was to die for, and the Obama photo was just so perfect, particularly in Chicago.
I love this f***ing home so much. you would always find me sitting in the library next to those windows!! or in the back wine garden. OH so delightful! every detail is a fav...the wooden framed mirrors, the fireplaces, the round table --(I searched forever for mine, paid 5x what you did and it's half as nice as yours!), and the small sink. everything c'est chic! the curtains aren't me, but I like your intentions. they stay. the chandelier? when you put the camera on it, I said, 'no more wire hangers!' It looks like a tangle of wire hangers. but, as an art piece, I would tolerate it. lol. thank you for sharing!
So beautiful and cozy.. must be nice to have a mum who is also into interior decorating and thrifting pieces but also have the same eye for cool things.. I wonder what they do for a living, thanks for sharing Paige
Fabulous architecture! Not a fan of the wire light fixture. I almost like the boat panels…beautifully decorated…thank you Mark and Susan for allowing us a peek into your lovely home.💜💜
I love your parents home!! So cozy and beautiful and just ahhhh… going to go clean and tidy and rearrange some things right now and dream…. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Since you asked, if the bookcase is not built-in, try it on the other side of the fireplace, don't like the chandelier, sorry. Look for one from Pascale Palun in Avignon, France (her shop is called Vox Populi.) My favorite things in the condo are the architectural details, the giant window in the front room, the fireplaces, and the still-life of a shelf in the kitchen, love the bathroom sinks, and the plant in the bathroom, Dad! Change the lightbulb in the hallway, please. What about an upholstered bench under the window in the bedroom? It was so funny when you moved the light to show us the kids pictures :) Nope to the nautical curtains for me, but then again, they look so much better close-up. Love the outdoor spaces, spray the Wayfair furniture, it's super easy.
I love the architecture of this home. I paused it to show my husband the lamp you talked about by the bookcase because that’s exactly the style I’m looking for in a corner of our house. Love an excuse to go thrifting!
I've been waiting for this video since you first announced it, and I was not disappointed😊 What a lovely and inviting home. And the architecture it is indeed amazing! Love your channel, it has great quality content!
Thank you for including night shots. Nobody ever does this.
right? it really changes the vibe of the space and shows a more realistic feel of the way one would live there.❤
I totally agree!!! Genius. Gives us the perfect sense of how cozy it is. And how important lighting is!
I don't want this to come off as backhanded at all, but it is so nice to see someone who is successful and so lovely normalize having to live with your parents in certain seasons of life. From a fellow temporary parents home dweller in her early 20s, thank you❤️
And your parents home is lovely. All the details like doors throughout the apartment and the windows in the great room are so special.
Yes! And to say that you like living with them. I loved living with my folks! We all knew it was temporary when I moved back (twice), and that just made it that much sweeter!
That is so common in many cultures, I don't know what the issue is with Americans.
Agreed!! My in laws just bought a condo in FL, my husband and I can work from anywhere so we're suuuuper pumped to head down and escape MI winter! At first I was like "Is it weird we're basically living at my in law's vacation home?" than I was like "...fuck it, as long as they don't care I don't give a shiz what anyone else thinks.

its so weird because in my culture parents DIE to live with kids forever. Like literally we have to fight and scream to move out for one year and they cry because they miss us so much daily
OK WHAT!!! There's a picture of your parents living room on pinterest that I've been swooning over forever and I can't believe it's their house!!! That's crazy.
wait there is?! send to me on insta messages!so curious
omg, what!! can you link the pin, I'm also so curious
It’s so nice that the home is beautiful and warm and not overly fussy. Love it!
It's nice to see a bookshelf just full of books. I'm so used to seeing the bookshelves all perfectly decorated with books just used as props to hold plants and knick knacks. It's OK to just have a bookshelf full of BOOKS, too! Makes me totally want to hang out in that room with a cozy fire, glass of wine and just grab a book to read. I also get the "Paris" thing.

I love the curtains in the bedroom. They are like a piece of Art to me:) thanks for sharing this wonderful home
Paige pleeease make a holiday decor vid!! 🫶🏻 I love your perspective and input
I love this series so much. It’s my unattainable life goal to have my home be featured one day lol
This is literally my dream home. Just very jealous here😍 Only thiing I would perhaps do is have slightly bolder art here and there, but the balance of antique, midcentury and contemporary is absolutely incredible.

there’s a lot not to love about obama lol
The ceiling height is incredible! It also makes doors, frames, and windows custom. It’d be hard to find ready made stuff to match.
Thank you for serving us the content we didn't know we needed. I adore your parent's home and the laid-back, calming editing/filming style you chose. Honestly, I love every single one of your videos!

I did and thought the same!!
Having been born and raised in Chicago (yes, in the city, not suburbs) this video clearly shows some of the best details of three-flat homes. Your parents home is beautiful with all the architectural details. I love the fireplace with mirror, the hidden pantry with that amazing mirrored door. Like you, I too love small kitchens. Can you at least share what neighborhood they live? There are so many cool ones. I miss Chicago!😢
I don't think Paige should share the neighborhood. TMI
Looks pretty obviously (aesthetically and socioeconomically lol) like the north side to me. I’d guess Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Andersonville
Holy s**t dude. That great room is SO GOOD. And the dining, and kitchen, and that bathroom vanity IS INCREDIBLE. Like I’m mad about it. Also all the plants are so good. Congrats to Susan and Mark (and you) on great taste.
The architecture is so chicago and im obsessed. Love the way its decorated, cozy and homey.
What an amazing space! Love the details. Very cozy without being fussy. Love you did day and night shots. The warm glow in the evening is divine! Ur parents are too cute with your mom patting her pillow as she gets ready for bed. Thank you and them for sharing their space with us
You get to LIVE HERE??? I'm so envious. Honestly, would love to see how they decorate their living area for the holidays. I imagine it to be super duper cozy
you and your moms relationship sounds so sweet! it's clear where you get your impeccable taste.
also, the sofa is fire.
This was nice 😊 I mostly enjoyed how easy it is to see how much you guys love each other, and the cute family stories like your dad wearing your medal on your birthday ❤ The wire-y chandelier: what I can tell you for certain is that it is perfect for Halloween! It reminds me of a haunted winter forest.
If my parents lived there I would not move out 😂
Keep the closet curtains! They look both exquisite and slightly quirky and reflect their taste. Really cool condo altogether!
Have *so* been waiting for this. Definitely not disappointing! Love that the whole fam has great taste.
Love the sailboat curtains, obsessed with the print. Hate the chrome broom chandelier on its own, but kinda like it in the space? Like the college boys, coffee table, it gives that room a little sparkle.
“I probably shouldn’t be going through this drawer. I wonder what else is in here”? You crack me up! Love the apartment. Cool place to land while in crisis.
Love this! Classic Chicago architecture, great style, what’s not to love? I think the closet curtains are a fun touch, and the pantry is so cool.
As a transplanted Chicago girl I understand completely how you feel about the city.
In love with your parents home! So much character! Thank them for letting us be looky loos!👀
Paige, I’ve been watching your videos over and over. I’m going through a crisiseseses as well (divorce) and I find your stuff so light hearted even if it’s not your intention. Thanks for this, I’m gonna go off and buy an ashtray off Etsy now
I just adore your parents home… it’s truly perfect, love the details, the fireplaces, the kitchen , I just love everything ❤️
Wow Paige, you’re channel is doing so well! I’ve been here since day one haha! Congrats ❤
Georgie! Thank you!!
Pristine taste! The chandelier is cool, but messy, and the curtains grew on me. Your dad seems like the guy who genuinely enjoys being a father ❤ and so does your mom. Y’all are a lovely and a close fam ❤
Drooling!!! Your parents home is stunning! Those period details paired with more modern lines/furniture pieces give me all the feels! Well done!
Thank you for appreciating Chicago architecture so much! I get so sad walking around the city sometimes seeing gorgeous houses get knocked down or remodeled into the boxy-modernized crap that will fall apart in 5 years (looking at you Windy City Rehab 👀😆)
I just moved to Chicago and I’m already sick of the boxy modern stuff/weird black brick
She's the worst!
Wow, what an incredible home- I would definitely be living with my parents if they had this space, especially that cutie courtyard space!!

I love the chandelier but I can’t tell if I like it in a formal dining room. I was thinking witch’s broom more than exposed wiring lol
The entire “check out this fu**ing house” series is so good! Loved your parents place❤❤❤ also a BIG yay to the nautical curtains, those personal touches is what makes a home!
I love this F***ing Home! Love everything about this place including the sailboat curtains. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing it. My Grandparents lived in Chicago for 25 years & my whole family just adores Chicago.
I love the library room!!! So warm and beautiful! And so many books!!! 😍 Perfect!
Love, love, love the artsy chandelier! Also love the kitchen! ❤️
Ugh…what a wonderful space! The architecture does half the work. And all of the treasures with stories. So inspiring.
I like the sailboat curtains. That color that you blended so well into is warm and they are unique. ⛵️
Your home is cozy and really feels like home. Non pretentious. The moldings are beautiful. It’s like a movie set.
I love your parents' home. Thanks for putting out such helpful and entertaining videos. Just wanted to let you know - I'm not sure if this is regional, but "outhouse" where I'm from means like a little out building with a toilet lol. So when you said someone "lives in this outhouse," I cracked up!
hahahah my mom did correct me on that and was like “outhouse? ha! coachhouse”
@@wasselpa 🤣🤣
Wow I love their home. So classy and beautiful. Thanks for showing us. Loveeee the architecture so gorgeous. That pantry is genious ! Cheers
Beautiful home, architecturally awesome. I love all the posing you do in these videos. 😂
I would nix the broom chandelier, unless you’re going for a Halloween occult vibe. 🎃
Oh my goodness, I am just a couple minutes in and I am LOVING the architecture and all of the beautiful, traditional details. Gorgeous!

This fucking home is precious!! I love the character in the fireplace and the moldings around the windows and ceilings. So cozy and charming!
I already always loved home tours, but the way you show the same spot at different points in day/different lighting scenarios and even throw in some rl action of people living life in the room... idk it just has such a cozy wholesome feel. It gives a much fuller experience. Anyhoo I found your channel recently and have been marathoning your videos. Thanks for the fun content (however my wallet is not thankful as I have now become too into lamps).
Great tour, i love the little stories around the decor items. I'm watching for a second time.
I had to pause on their bookcase. Half the books are the same ones I have on mine. Your mom and dad must be really cool! Love their home and your comments on it. 😊
Hi Paige. I'm from Chicago and I absolutely love the fact that your dad has a picture of Obama on such a prominent wall in their condo. Thanks for sharing. The place is very stylish.
I love the chandelier. I love a mixture of everything to make homes unique. It looks lived-in but polished at the same time. Do you remember Anne Archer and Michael Douglas' NY apartment in "Fatal Attraction?" Reminds me of that vibe and I love it. Great space. I also love how you love lighting in general and encourage people to get small canned lights to highlight corners and plants, etc... It really makes a space. The architectural details are wonderful!
OMGosh that's an incredible, f*cking home. I nearly shed a tear for the beautiful old door that was taken out of your parents' closet, though - that was basically sacrilegious.
Love this! Don't know about the wire chandelier though. I feel like you could have something that brings more warmth to the room
Absolutely love Susan and Mark’s home!! I think the closet curtains are fun. Probably wouldn’t have picked them myself BUT the color pallet on them works well in the space 😂plus they match your outfit in the video!
The quirky items in your parents' home is so fun! I also love the editing and the pacing of this. lovely
Your parents sound/look so cool! Love the nautical curtains, don’t really like the chandelier, but absolutely loved the home❤ I love this series so much!!
Your Mom has great taste too ! I think if she was so inclined she too could have her own channel.. Great place, Great video ! Thanks for sharing
Oh we were waiting for this video for so long. And it’s 100% worthy!
Your mom has a great eye and taste
And I love that there’s so many places to sit and talk
Love it
Wow Paige I love your parents home and I can so relate to downsizing into a smaller more manageable space. We have just renovated a small two bedroom cottage beach house and have decided to make it our full time home. I'm not sure why but there's something about moving into a small charming space that feels like the right transition after raising a family in a larger more maintanence heavy home. I love the architectural detail of their condo but mostly I like the nods to their personal style, their obvious love of their daughter and family and I only wish I had done silhouettes of my three gorgeous sons!!! So so fun!! Thank you for sharing, k
Loving the dark walls, the wooden fierplace and touch of red in the bedroom. The closet curtain is perfect. Fav room!
Yes Paige! This is one of my favourite series’ on youtube 🙌🏼
Your parent's home is freaking GOOOOORGEOUS and I'm absolutely obsessed with the secret pantry. I also laughed out loud when you closed the closet curtains and your jacket was the exact same color. It was just so silly to me for some reason.
What a beautiful home. Actually love the sail curtains and wouldn’t press/steam them, the wrinkles just add to the charm-what a find! So jealous of the architecture. Awesome hidden pantry. Favorite, I have to agree is the bathroom vanity. I have never seen anything like it before. Thank you and your parents for sharing.
I also absolutely love the snippets of the video and the music in the beginning. It makes such a good mood. And then no music at all during the video. I love it.
I just found this series, the name got my attention. I've watched them all, please do more!!! Anyway I love the closet panels in your parents bedroom. I think the color is great.
Beautiful home and architecture. Thank you for sharing. I too will somehow hopefully wind up back in Chicago. Miss my city.
I love how you created interest to your story by changing the light and exposure. I think light is the 4th dimension of decorating (3D + light).
I LOVE this house. I think it's the first interiors in a long time that I have the feeling of wanting to live there when I see it. I live in western Canada and none of our houses have this kind of old architecture and unique outdoor living. thanks for showing!
Love your parents' home. It's preppy but not boring. The architecture is amazing- that crown molding! And yes to keeping the sail boat curtains. The colors are great and it adds a little whimsy. Thanks for another great video and loved the night shots.
The way your mom pats the pillow while looking at the camera 😂
Beautiful home! Love the architectural details, the lighting, the fireplaces, the patio, even the cute little bathroom sink! 😊
Light fixture,weird af . Curtains,so so strange, mantle,fireplace and mirrors amazing. Pantry immaculate. Balcony cute. Patio cute. General vibe 8/10❤
That entryway door? and then waala! Makes even a mininalist like me fall in love with classic elements.
Love your parents’ home❤❤❤ it’s elegant and cozy, not fussy. Especially love the fireplace, bookcase, living room vibe! Hard no for me on the witches broom chandelier-maybe in a more modern space but it just seems too harsh here.
Yooo ahah i gotta say.. you crack me up so much. Your videos make me happy! Also, i pretty much have the same style/taste as you when it comes to home decor, so it's always a pleasure to watch your vids! Keep em commin!! Also also, your parents have a really nice home :)
I love your parent's home. All of it's original character and charm is beautiful. It's tasteful and refined.
These are my favorite videos that you do! Also those curtains oddly fit perfectly… why not?!
Their home is beautiful, looks super cozy but elegant. I think the chandelier is pretty cool, even though it's not something I'd pick out. I love the curtains in the bedroom, too, but trying to decide if I'd like it better with a different paint color. Also the tiny bathroom sink is adorable.
Love their house! Did not like the sail boat curtains - I’m not sure if it’s more the pattern or the color that seems off with the rest of the room but they’re def struggling. The millwork throughout was to die for, and the Obama photo was just so perfect, particularly in Chicago.
I love this f***ing home so much. you would always find me sitting in the library next to those windows!! or in the back wine garden. OH so delightful! every detail is a fav...the wooden framed mirrors, the fireplaces, the round table --(I searched forever for mine, paid 5x what you did and it's half as nice as yours!), and the small sink. everything c'est chic!
the curtains aren't me, but I like your intentions. they stay. the chandelier? when you put the camera on it, I said, 'no more wire hangers!' It looks like a tangle of wire hangers. but, as an art piece, I would tolerate it. lol.
thank you for sharing!
I love everything about your parents' home! Thank you for inviting us in. Must watch again (and again)!
So beautiful and cozy.. must be nice to have a mum who is also into interior decorating and thrifting pieces but also have the same eye for cool things.. I wonder what they do for a living, thanks for sharing Paige
You're right it's f***King gorgeous thanks to you and you're mum and dad for showing us round their lovely home
Fabulous architecture! Not a fan of the wire light fixture. I almost like the boat panels…beautifully decorated…thank you Mark and Susan for allowing us a peek into your lovely home.💜💜
Loved this! Your parents home is gorgeous, probably my favorite COTFH so far.
This place has GREAT bones! Beautiful architecture! The windows, that fireplace, the garden . . . I love it. ❤🎃
I love your parents home!! So cozy and beautiful and just ahhhh… going to go clean and tidy and rearrange some things right now and dream…. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Great home. Really solid video format, too!
I LOVE the chandelier! It's fresh, modern ! Really enjoyed the tour!!!
Love their space and all the architectural detail. Such a cooler vibe than down sizing to a retirement home. Also I like the curtains.
LOOOOVE your parent's home. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us! You've given me some inspiration on my new condo.
Since you asked, if the bookcase is not built-in, try it on the other side of the fireplace, don't like the chandelier, sorry. Look for one from Pascale Palun in Avignon, France (her shop is called Vox Populi.) My favorite things in the condo are the architectural details, the giant window in the front room, the fireplaces, and the still-life of a shelf in the kitchen, love the bathroom sinks, and the plant in the bathroom, Dad! Change the lightbulb in the hallway, please. What about an upholstered bench under the window in the bedroom? It was so funny when you moved the light to show us the kids pictures :) Nope to the nautical curtains for me, but then again, they look so much better close-up. Love the outdoor spaces, spray the Wayfair furniture, it's super easy.
I love the architecture of this home. I paused it to show my husband the lamp you talked about by the bookcase because that’s exactly the style I’m looking for in a corner of our house. Love an excuse to go thrifting!
LOVE the sailboat curtains in bedroom. What a nice surprise. Sophisticated and playful!!! I want. GREAT FIND!!!!
I like the chandelier, it's a nice transition to the more modern kitchen. I love the curtains, they're fun and your parents seem fun.
I've been waiting for this video since you first announced it, and I was not disappointed😊 What a lovely and inviting home. And the architecture it is indeed amazing! Love your channel, it has great quality content!
