Chicago Lodge House
A lodge built in the 1930s. This House was originally the lodge or main house for luxury resort. The home had been abandon and was overgrown with vines…seriously. House had radiant floors and ceilings with 5 fireplaces. This room is the master bedroom with master bath. The cobblestone fireplace was once again made the focal point of the room. The stone floors were amazing with a romantic window seat which overlooked the outside meadow which become the second focal point. If you note the walls behind the bed are angled from the roofline. Our goal was to make the angle part of the room, not eat up the room. We liked the beige walls but wanted to add some color so we picked a dark rust or orange. Our goal was masculine touch of softness with all the stone, so we opted to add window treatments behind the bed where we floated the bed in front of floor to ceiling windows hidden by sheers. Roller shades were used the windows on both sides of the fireplace. We added more crystal lighting fixtures. One next to the fireplace where one could read with an additional crystal lighting fixture in the window seat for an extra touch of elegance. The room did have pull down stairs to a finished attic which added storage space and additional reading space to the master suite.
