Deming
Lincoln Park, Chicago
Resilient and transitional: words that not only describe this lovely home, but also its owners. Originally designed by Abrams Valenti Interiors as a new construction property almost a decade ago, the homeowners returned to the design team after a devastating fire and the resulting damage destroyed most of the interiors while they were away visiting family overseas.
The team revisited the space with more knowledge about what would work for the easygoing clients in this new chapter. In were more clean-lined, modern furnishings in shades of creams, taupes, and blues. Subtly textured drapery and wall coverings — grasscloth in the kitchen’s built-in dining area and handsome office space — mix with neutral tones that better showcase the homeowner’s collections of art and antique collections, which are now beautifully displayed in the living spaces. A spa-like primary bathroom lined in aqua mosaic tile and centered by a large freestanding bathtub adds to the home’s appeal.
Simple yet stunning, the Lincoln Park home is evidence that beautiful things can emerge, even from ash.
