- On today’s episode of Homeworthy, the First Lady of Illinois, MK Pritzker, gives us an exclusive look inside the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield, Illinois. Enlisting the help of interior designer Michael S. Smith, who previously redecorated the Obama White House, the First Lady completely restored the mansion to its former glory. Sophisticated color palettes, luxurious fabrics, and bespoke furniture complement the mansion’s rich history and superb collection of decorative arts. The restoration process, along with a recount of the prominent Americans who once called the mansion home, are celebrated in the First Lady’s new book, "A House That Made History: The Illinois Governor's Mansion, Legacy of an Architectural Treasure." Enjoy!

Mrs Pritzker has done a magnificent job of decorating the Illinois governor’s mansion, absolutely beautiful 😍
The transformation is phenomenal. The house resembled an outdated museum but now it is a warm cozy home. 10 out 10 for balance of traditional furniture and warm tones. ❤
May I say…. This is one of favorite Governor Mansion. It is very warm and inviting for the people of the commonwealth to feel like we are apart of history. The home really tells the story of American people including the common people. Hat off to you First Lady MK Pritzker !🌹🏆
What a gorgeous home! Thank you, First Lady, for inviting us in. You’ve done a wonderful job.
I watched this on my 58 inch TV, because I wanted to take it all in. Just STUNNING! And what a gracious First Lady.
This is the "first lady" who escaped to Florida during the Pandemic against her own husband's lock down. Not gracious. Rich awful people throwing their money and power around.
Being a Chicagoan my whole life.....I truly appreciate this! OMG the history! Sharp lady!!! I know they can't but she needs to show her home....they are multi -millionaires and are a long established prominent family in Chicago! I love that she loves HOMEWORTHY ! So do we!!!!! (this is a politic free zone).
Actually she’s richer than that she married into a billionaire dynasty so she’s set
We went on a class trip to the state capital Springfield when I was in 8th that was back in 89. We visited Lincolns grave the state legislature, and we saw the governor's mansion but we didn't go inside. Too bad we didn't have cellphones back then. Beautiful renovation job 🫶🏿 from Chicago.
Beautiful mansion and a very elegant and gracious First Lady.
I LOVE the Harry Who! I recognised the Hairy Who on the wall as soon as it came up! And a Theaster Gates piece! I love this tour.
Lady Prizker did a perfect wonderful work curating the redecoration of this historic mansion, Brava !!! Hope the next governors families will appreciate it and not change it all over again ....
Holy Cow! This house is AH-MAZING!!!
Beautiful lady and beautiful house. I'm so very impressed and thankful to learn about Illinois history.
What a knowledgeable, articulate lady!
As a resident of Illinois, I really enjoyed this tour of the governor's mansion in Springfield, Illinois. MK Pritzker did a beautiful job of making the home beautiful for not only visiting dignitaries but her family as well. It must be a delicate balance of making the governor's mansion homey but stately at the same time. I would enjoy more videos like this. This mansion is one to be proud of for all Illinois residents.
What a respectful redecoration of this mansion! It looks to the past, present and hopeful future of the culture of Illinois. Nice work First Lady!
Beautiful .
Very nicely done! Thank you for preserving the history and taking the time to learn and share the history in this presentation.
What fun stories! House is gorgeous.
A spectacular house!
Homeworthy! Please have more Governor Mansion Tours! This is the very best video… a touch of history and beautiful design!
Classy, elegant and livable. That is a wonderful combination and not easy to achieve.
The home was beautiful. The First Lady of Illinois did a fantastic job. I loved all the history related to the mansion. I also loved all the portraits of President Lincoln. I loved the needlepoint of the mansion. I am so glad that they saved this house. Thank you.
Thank you Mrs. MK Pritzker you're the first women that let the people know how you live and it's a wonderful mantion and I hope every governors wife would do the same thing you do, so i do thank the Governor Mr. Pritzker the way he is leading our city.
Sincerely yours,
Bonifacio Reyes!
This was lovely!!! As a resident of IL, I appreciate MK's reverence for the home and preserving it's history.
What a beautiful job you've done w the pastel colors.
The renovation and interior is stunning. And the Pritzkers invested almost a million of their own money to decorate to their tastes. Beautifully done.
This Homeworthy was one of the best! First Lady Pritzker not only decorated the mansion beautifully but also gave a very interesting tour! The color palettes she choose were just stunning and fit the mansion beautifully!!! Thank you Allison. :)
Beautiful house
Thank you for taking care of this house with such respect and love for the history and the people that it represents.
Thank you, Mrs. Pritzker for such a wonderful tour of your home. It's terrific that you see yourself as a custodian of the house and have taken care of the home at such a spectacular level.
WOW! Plz showcase more governor's mansions.
Nice combination of classic French and English styles.
Beautiful job! The house looks amazing and this video is a real treat.
Beautiful Governor’s Mansion & First Lady! I especially love the needlework of the mansion & all the love of President Lincoln! ❤🇺🇸❤️
The First Lady and Michael Smith have down an outstanding job! Well done!!!!
What a delightful tour of the Illinois State Governor’s Mansion. Thank you, Mrs. Pritzker, for taking the time to restore the interior design and for taking us on a tour.
A really outstanding tour by a wonderful First Lady of Illinois - I'm so proud to be living in Illinois with Governor & First Lady Pritzker in our "people's house"!👏🥰
Thank you…what a treat to see the mansion and how it has lovingly been restored and maintained. The narrative was informative, entertaining and very well-done. I didn’t want the tour to end.
WOW..... it is tremendously elegant, gorgeous and beautiful interiors! 😍😍
I know Jackie Kennedy added her touches to the White House and provided a tour. Well….a fabulous job Mrs.Pritzker orchestrated , research and combined it in a coffee table book. The very old vintage combined with modern aesthetics , remodeling and design is breath taking. When one considers the brilliant job her husband did with the budget, continues to strive and achieve in so many other categories it is quite apparent Illinois has been blessed with the greatest Governor and First Lady ever. J.B. Pritzker is without question a Presidential hopeful and god only knows what his wife could do with the White House. Heaven on earth !!! Stick around Illinois another term J.B. , you will have pulled us out of a macro quagmire to excellence and then run for President. YOUR COUNTRY NEEEDS YOU!
Mrs. Pritzker you did a wonderful tour video! Thank you for all your hour of thoughtful work & study regarding the mansion and its history. Bravo!!
A beautiful home inside and outside. The decorating has been done beautifully with such a great eye for detail. Thank you so much to our gracious host for inviting us into her home. The portraits were just amazing to see but I love the pop of modern art also.
I have watched this over and over again. Beautiful!!!
Deb here. Thank you for sharing "the people's house" with us. She has poise and she knew about the objects and history of the items in the house. We do not get to see the inside very often.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with great passion and respect for the history of this beautiful building. I live in UK so enjoyed being shown around - and no passport required! 😊
First lady of Illinois You did a magnificent job on redecorating this mansion. I enjoyed every minute of it. Fabulous fabulous fabulous. You should be very proud. Great job. From Texas.
Really enjoyed this episode!
This was a treat! This is my first time seeing Mrs pritzker and learning about her as a person. Also my first time seeing inside of the governor's home in Springfield. I love the dusty aqua color she chose for her favorite room. The entire home is decorated beautifully
So well done! Exceptional taste
What an impressive history lesson and thoughtful restoration! Thank you Mrs. Pritzker.
Just fantastic…. Thank you 🙏
Thank you to Homeworthy and MK Pritzker for giving us such a delightful and educational tour of the mansion
and its history.
Beautiful and tasteful remodel, and a gracious, knowledgeable host. I love the mixture of modern art and touches with homages to Abraham Lincoln and other figures.
The mansion is, perhaps, the most beautiful mansions in the US! The current First Lady and Michael Smith have incredible taste, and I'm sure they are both lovely people❤
Very heartwarming to watch this, it's a beautiful house to see in this chanel but its history and importance make it so much more endearing. Thanks Homeworthy team, love from Africa
What a magnificent home by any standard.I love the dynamic vision of the duo of Micheal Smith and Mrs Pritzker. It does not get much more lovely than this. Stunning!
Historic buildings need to be preserved and used. We need to be less wasteful and respect our history.
Too many buildings fall into disrepair and end up torn down. Preserve your towns history and support you local historical society
Absolutely riveting. What a charming and informative guid through a spectacular mansion.
I love this so much!! The First Lady of Illinois did a wonderful job decorating and explaining everything. Please do the other states too!!!
Why did you DELETE the house in Morocco?????!!!!! Please post it back!!!
Wonderful. Bravo Bravo
Love this ! Hope you can do more of tours like this.
LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY
Fascinating. I may take a trip to Springfield to tour this home.
What a poised, intelligent First Lady of Illinois. Beautifully decorated.
Beautiful transformation. MK is a lovely , intelligent lady. Loved this episode.
So grateful to learn so much and enjoy such beautiful homes. Thank you.
Have y’all ever considered doing a series on the governor’s mansions across the country?🇺🇸⭐️
What happened with the previous video, from Morocco?
Homeworthy this is a beautiful Exclusive House Tour.
This Governor's Mansion displays the love, care, and respect for the citizens of Illinois. I AM now a FAN of this AMAZING FIRST LADY . First Lady Pritzker is dedicated to the people and history of this state. Governor Pritzker has the perfect wife, partner, visionary, and historical. It takes a great team to build and develop a state. The citizens should be proud of their First Lady. Love this so much. Thanks, First Lady for having us. Thank you. Homeworthy for bringing this superb home tour. Shirley, MS
Very nicely done tour! She shows great respect for history and for the governor’s mansion.
Your home is beautifully decorated and stunning . Your colour plate is restful and calming very inspirational .
Being a resident of Decatur, Il this is automatically one of my favorite episodes…I’ve always wondered what the interior of the mansion looks like and now I know
Beautiful! Perfect balance of honouring the past while refreshing the space for modern events and use. Well done! It will be beautiful for decades.
I had know idea that Henry Horner was a governor of Illinois. I just knew about the notorious public housing project on the Westside that was named after him, I'm leaning alot on this episode of Homeworthy.
I'm fond of watching interior design esp. traditional style.
Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican US President.
It was a very different Republican party back then.
Actually, Thomas Jefferson was the first republican president.
@@lululand1653LOL someone is still blind even after living through this administration.
Not the same party as today!
@@lululand1653 Was it??? No it wasn't. Tell us how it's changed?
That was great, thanks for sharing! Love the contemporary art contrasting with its traditional surroundings.
It's crazy that they let home worthy into these grand luxurious homes. I'm here for it and you're by far the best design show on UA-cam
It’s lovely. Thanks for sharing with us!
Such an informative house tour! Well done, First Lady!
Great tour! Such a lovely and gracious first lady. The book looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see it. It was designed by my dearest friend, David Byars.
That was so interesting, thank you.
Excellent presentation ❤
The perfect person for the perfect work. I'm familiar with historical political houses in Europe and they all are "cold" on the opposite this is amazing warm, still interesting historical, and contemporare same time. Congratultions
She is the Jackie Kennedy of Illinois. What she has done to the house, is reminiscent of Jackie’s remodeling of the White House of course more modern but so elegant.
SHE IS THE JACKIE KENNEDY??? WHAT A JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoyed this so much!!!! Thank you Homeworthy!
Beautiful tour. Very well spoken First Lady. I’d love to visit.
The history part was a bonus. Love history as well.
With her educational background, she is the perfect person to do this interior! It is beautifully done! Thank you!
Fabulous tour and custodian. I really enjoyed it.
Amazing!
Lovely!!
spectacular! Brava!!
Wow. Now I know governor’s family lives in a state mansion. It’s a beautiful mansion. Please take a house tour of the rest of 49 states.
Beautifully done
