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. 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.
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. 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.
I love this series so much. It’s my unattainable life goal to have my home be featured one day lol
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.
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
If my parents lived there I would not move out 😂
The ceiling height is incredible! It also makes doors, frames, and windows custom. It’d be hard to find ready made stuff to match.
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?
there’s a lot not to love about obama lol
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.
The architecture is so chicago and im obsessed. Love the way its decorated, cozy and homey.
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
Keep the closet curtains! They look both exquisite and slightly quirky and reflect their taste. Really cool condo altogether!
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.
you and your moms relationship sounds so sweet! it's clear where you get your impeccable taste.
also, the sofa is fire.
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
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
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
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).
this is what i thought about the chandelier too!! perfect for october i guess 😅
I did and thought the same!!
Drooling!!! Your parents home is stunning! Those period details paired with more modern lines/furniture pieces give me all the feels! Well done!
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.
I just adore your parents home… it’s truly perfect, love the details, the fireplaces, the kitchen , I just love everything ❤️
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
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.
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.
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'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!
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. ⛵️
Yes Paige! This is one of my favourite series’ on youtube 🙌🏼
The quirky items in your parents' home is so fun! I also love the editing and the pacing of this. lovely
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.
just amazing! I had been waiting to see your parents place and it did not disappoint.
In love with your parents home! So much character! Thank them for letting us be looky loos!👀
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 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.
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.
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
Wow I love their home. So classy and beautiful. Thanks for showing us. Loveeee the architecture so gorgeous. That pantry is genious ! Cheers
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 ❤
The way your mom pats the pillow while looking at the camera 😂
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!
Love your vids as usual, and your parent’s home is very welcoming. Must be so cosy to stay here for Christmas 🤍
I love the library room!!! So warm and beautiful! And so many books!!! 😍 Perfect!
Love the closet curtains, the chandelier not that much…
Thanks for the great video!
The part when your mom and dad are in the room is so cute!
“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.
Beautiful home! Love the architectural details, the lighting, the fireplaces, the patio, even the cute little bathroom sink! 😊
Love, love, love the artsy chandelier! Also love the kitchen! ❤️
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’ve been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! I loved it ❤❤❤
I absolutely love your parents’ home! Also, you look like your mom. I love the way you filmed and edited this video. I don’t love the chandelier, but I love the sailboat curtains so much!
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
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!
Im obssesed with this series, please keep it going !
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.
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
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.
Love their space and all the architectural detail. Such a cooler vibe than down sizing to a retirement home. Also I like the curtains.
I love your editing style, so chill and nice to watch 😌 also loved the place
Your home is cozy and really feels like home. Non pretentious. The moldings are beautiful. It’s like a movie set.
Loved this! Your parents home is gorgeous, probably my favorite COTFH so far.
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!
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!!
Great tour, i love the little stories around the decor items. I'm watching for a second time.
Ok love this Paige. I’ve been WAITING for this
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. 😊
I have been so excited for this video, it was very inspiring, thanks for showing us around!
P.S. your mom is too cute 🥰😂
Loving the dark walls, the wooden fierplace and touch of red in the bedroom. The closet curtain is perfect. Fav room!
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!
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!!
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.
This was really cool. That antique wooden mirror before you show us the tiny sink is such a nice touch! I really like it.
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 :)
Love it ! Your parents are so cute and the place looks warm and inviting definitely got some inspiration from this home .
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 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!
Big like for your parents house. I love the little shots of them in between. It is clear that you love eachother very much and I love that. I appreciate your way of making these video's, so thanks for sharing Wassel family. 🇱🇺
I'm British so i hope you understand my sense of humour but I find your moodiness quite funny. You remind me of Wednesday!
I love the architecture and what your parents did with the place! While you're in Chicago, maybe you could tour Claudia Sulewski's parents house or the series? They livein Chicago, and from what I remember from her old videos, their house is well designed and the staging was always so good. I know it's kinda random, as you usually tour your friends' places, but maybe there is a way to arrange that. Anyway, great space and can't wait till you move to LA and show us your new place!
20:44 had me dying! You and your mum have similar mannerisms! Also love that you show night shots, so refreshing to see.
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. 🎃
Wow Paige, you’re channel is doing so well! I’ve been here since day one haha! Congrats ❤
Georgie! Thank you!!
loved every second of this! (especially the sneaky clip of your parents
The chandelier is a yes, I love how it mixes w/ your family’s style.
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
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.
Very beautiful, elegant home. Love all the mirrors. Love all the vases with greenery (especially the little one in the bathroom). Love the bedroom textiles, I would prfer a solid drapery for the closet door, but nothing wrong with the nautical theme. I ordered the candle holder on the dining table from cb2. Great job Paige. Someone suggested your mom start a channel. I agree. She has great style.
Your parents have such a lovely home! My aesthetic to a tee. Thank you for sharing!
I love the curtains in your parents room btw. I couldn’t previously imagine Roman shades in anything but a neutral linen but now I’m rethinking maybe a bolder color for one room!
Light fixture,weird af . Curtains,so so strange, mantle,fireplace and mirrors amazing. Pantry immaculate. Balcony cute. Patio cute. General vibe 8/10❤
Their closet is very nice, the curtains make it very easy to access (If your mom loves the sailing vessels then they are great). Love the fireplaces (do they work?) with their mirrors. The tiny, cute sink in the powder room, reminded me of the sink at my dentist's office.
Thanks for showing us the difference in lighting. I do not like the glaring that LED lights emit. Trying to convince my husband to change them is a constant battle.
Your parent's have a beautiful, comfortable home. I love all the old moldings and trim. That hidden pantry is a gem!
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).
OBSESSED with the architecture and the living room!!!!!!!! The tiny sink is so cool and so cute! The chandelier you asked about I think is ok….I don’t love it or hate it. It’s hard to tell on camera of the size would work but I thought it might look cool in the kitchen. I really like the sailboat curtains! They add that pop of interest to the space and look really good with the check/ or plaid throw pillows. The only critique with them is something about the top part, I wish it had a cleaner appearance or something.. idk it could just be something I’m picky and weird about lol
I LOVE the chandelier! It's fresh, modern ! Really enjoyed the tour!!!
That entryway door? and then waala! Makes even a mininalist like me fall in love with classic elements.
Beautiful home! I've been on the lookout for a mirror to put over my fireplace. Their living room has inspired me to go BIG with it! I also really like the weird chandelier.
Wonderful tour, Paige. And, yes, I like the funky/artsy wire chandelier. It’s a nice unexpected twist. The house is so cozy and classy. My one complaint is that now I’m homesick for Chicago. I went to Loyola, and lived on the Lake Shore campus. Such a great city.
