This is the way to make a home sing. Each area has such personnal touchs that are warm and easy to take care of. Great Job.

Good photography. Like simplicity of interior and richness of details at the same time.

Having lived in University Station for almost 2 years (renting) I must say they have turned the typical generic developer influenced condo into a very elegant open space with very unique touches. The original Ikea kitchen offered by the developer was a very space consuming heavy boxed form, the custom Bulthaup kitchen is amazingly clean and simple and does wonders for that space. I do wish there were more photos of the space and less of the food (as delicious as it looked) and a floor plan as well. Great job indeed!

The gray floor is beautiful, is there anyway to figure out what material it is and where it was sourced?

Are the Jacksons willing to share some of their awesome-sounding dinner recipes? I, for one, would like to make a s'mores tart. Yum.

Thank you. The 12" x 24" floor tiles are porcelain with a honed finish. They are manufactured by Casalgrande Padana. We will most definitely share all of the recipes soon!

Glad to see you two survived your clubbing years. Cool space, food looks amazing.

Please, please tell me what kind of dog "Pork Chop" is!
anonymous 02/06/2010

Pork Chop is a purebred as far as we're concerned--100% "pure love." Technically though, we're not quite sure of the breed as she was a rescue. Before she ended up in the shelter she was listed in a local paper as an "airdale mix." We see airdale but definitely other things mixed in there too.

Your kitchen is an inspiration. I am looking to do some re-modeling in my Oak Park apt. Who did you employ for an architect/interior designer?

Your place looks wonderful. You wouldn't happen to have the specific color and finish of the Casalgrande tile you used for the flooring. I have specifically been looking for tile just like this for some time for a remodel of my kitchen and living room.

Thank you Rebecca. For the kitchen, I worked with Laurie Brady at the Bulthaup Chicago showroom. Thank you Naveen, the series of tile is "Granitogres" and the finish is "Acapulco Nero".

Hi. What is the manufacturer of your bed, I've been looking for a soft frame that has a bit of a footboard to it. Thanks!
greg smith 02/13/2010

frani, the range hood is also by Bulthaup. There is a great tutorial on pouring your own concrete countertops by "splatgirl" on apartmenttherapy dot com. greg, the bed is "luxus" from DWR.

hi, your place really is beautiful. i've been looking for plates exactly like the ones you have, very simple, flat, white, round plates with a lip around the edge. would you mind sharing where you found them? thanks so much!

Love the little bar nook! Any info on those beautiful glass tiles? I'm looking for something similar. P.S. Your home is gorgeous! :)

Plates are CB2 and the glass tiles are frosted glass on a 12" x 12" mesh square from a large tile outlet. I installed these tiles myself.

I knew Chelsea Jackson growing up, my mother told me to check out dwell.com because I renovate homes myself. I was quite pleased to see Chelsea and the beautiful home. Mixing early architecture and modern convenience is just awe inspiring. This is definitely something I dream about doing in the future.
Dylan Montague 02/19/2010

I too would love the recipe for the s'mores tart - we're planning a 'birthday camping trip' for our son's 11th birthday this June and it would make the perfect birthday cake!

Chelsea and Art I love your home. It is beautiful and such a reflection of both of you. Please let me know when you post your recipe for the s'mores tart. I can't wait to try it.
