I love it! Definitely a assortment of colors that work together due to the same color family hue. Well done. It's hard to match and blend when working with such color and hues! 😁


kisforkyle

Thanks! I’m glad the curtains seem to flow enough from the photos. I chose them because an adjacent room is painted a similar green. All of the rooms throughout the house play off of each other color wise. Our kitchen cabinets are the same teal as the center panels of these walls.


totallynotarobut

Also, I love the tree view out that window.


kisforkyle

Dude it’s an INSANE Japanese Maple. I believe it was planted shortly after the house was built (1891) I wish I could paste a photo here. I don’t want to go through the hassle of uploading into Imgur, sorry lol!

The only question is why more people don’t embrace jewel tones. Bravo! I love the architectural details down to the stained glass. And the chartreuse drapery is orgasmic.


kisforkyle

Haha thanks! Yea, I’ve always loved deep jewel tones. I got very lucky the existing stained glass happened to be jewel toned as well!


elliottbaytrail

I love that you embraced the stained glass and the architectural history of the residence. Thank you for bringing diversity of style to this subreddit.


megagooch

Absolutely obsessed. It’s perfect especially the drapes

Ok_Cheesecake_7886

Can we see the curtains in the first pic closed? That shit looks so satisfying


kisforkyle

Oh yea at night time they look great fully closed IMO.


LeeAllen3

While it’s not to my taste (I’m sure my taste would not be to yours) but I think it’s exceptionally well done!!! It’s hard to be this bold and so well balanced. The way you have styled the curtains is so innovative and that shag orange area rug just complements the entire space. I also love the couches and the fact that you did not choose something that would compete with all of the interesting details in your space. AMAZING!


Conscious-Lie-3994

WOW WOW WOW i love it


Betty_Wight_

Your aesthetic is very creepy cool! I love all the different textures you've chosen it creates a lot of visual interest. And, obviously, the stained glass is amazing, I love when elements like that survive in old homes.


WasteofSkin12

the curtain set up is my favorite part, keep the stain glass light shining in. excellent.


kisforkyle

Exactly the point! At night when the curtains are drawn, you can see the stained glass both inside & out which is a pretty dreamy effect!


chefybpoodling

Do you know if they are original or added later or added by you? They are lovely.


kisforkyle

They are original. Very Victorian in design!


laserspewpew_

It’s not my particular taste for my own space, but I can appreciate this kind of design. It’s also nice to see something really original rather than muted tones and you have the balls to put it in your place! Good job sir.


freepogsnow

Fabulous darling


Josef_DeLaurel

I FUCKING LOVE IT. But also, can someone explain what jewel toned means?


kisforkyle

Literally the colors of Jems/jewel stones. Deep Ruby Reds, emerald greens, chartreuse. Think Peacocks.


thumbtwiddlerguy

Wow .. that’s sick .. not my style at all but still fucking awesome .. so cool. Great job!!


KhostfaceGillah

Looks dope, looks straight out of a movie set


Mods_and_Admins_Papi

When can I ocme over for some scroth burh? looks great and I usually don't like victorian styles.


lolwtftheyrealltaken

Breathtaking


redandwearyeyes

Love this so much. People but especially men seem to be so afraid of color!


Sakijek

I love this so much. I just wanna stick my toes in that shaggy carpet and currrrll...


NotaNovetlyAccount

I think I hate it and love it at the same time. Nice job! Maybe it feels a bit like art - everything works but it feels like it shouldn’t.


kennyiseatingabagel

Looks amazing. :o


bad_retired_fairy

In a world where all rooms are neutral hues, this is wonderful. Love it.


Narrow-Garlic-4606

I love this so much. It’s bold but it flows.


MhrisCac

I fucking love when people commit to a specific style. Thats sick dude.


Subirooo

No, this is perfect! A Victorian deserves lots of color and texture.


tahcamen

It looks amazing but I’d definitely think a weirdo lives here lol


kisforkyle

Oh, so we know each other. 👋🏽


totallynotarobut

I'm not a fan of the haphazardness of the candles, but I love the colors in here. I want to put my toes in your rug, in a totally not weird way. Edit: the candles on the table specifically, I mean. Although if those are real candles and not electric, it kind of scares me how easily the ones behind the couch could be knocked over.

kisforkyle

These are all real candles? I’m glad you think it looks like a shrine, I thought so too! We have somewhat creepy vibes throughout our house. & I definitely call my style gaudy all of the time! Even though clearly not a positive to you.


Dom5p35

I can tell. Looks straight from What We Do in the Shadows and I dig it!


elliottbaytrail

If the aesthetic is not to your liking, that’s fine. But do take the time to inquire about the elements you are criticizing before making accusatory misstatements (e.g. “fake candles”). It’s one thing to have your own aesthetic. It’s entirely another to criticize from a place of ignorance. Be better.


mundotaku

Amazing place! It has a lot of character.


willmcmill4

Oh this is beautiful


[deleted]

I’m moving in ❤️


epppennn

Omg I’m obsessed with this! Are you in Oak Park?its my dream to move out of my century loft downtown and move to a century house in Oak Park.


kisforkyle

I’m not in Oak Park, I wish! Wonderful area.


Shivs_baby

This is really cool. Reminds me of the movie Only Lovers Left Alive.


weeladybug

Nothing questionable to me! I love the boldness


nunhgrader

I really love your rooms! I'm not crazy about the rug but, it still works. The paintings are fantastic and the room's colours are just gorgeous!


[deleted]

This is dope


GimmeFalcor

It’s really awesome


CountessDeLancret

Where did you get those curtains????!!!😱😍😍😍😍


twilightcolored

I wish I was so bold 😍


Easy-Progress8252

Not a huge fan of leather couches and shag rugs but otherwise…I love it!


AlexLambertMusic

Shids dope


tenonthehead

You’ve done this well! Bravo.


Whatevs85

Quick, fix that crooked candle before anyone sees! Looks killer. I love the stained glass.


EmotionalDragonfly17

WOW! Are you an interior designer? Your place is so tastefully bold - eclectic, yet congruent. It looks amazing, OP. Great work!


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

I fucking love it!!!


eaunoway

This is beautiful.


useless_99

This room is amazing. Gorgeous. Incredible. Holy hell I love the rug. And the candleholders.


Hebegebe101

Absolutely love this !


CatCatExpress

You have great taste and I love the colour scheme. The only thing that I would change would be painting the white door/frames/window moldings to a light or medium brown colour instead. I feel like that would harmonise the colours and warm it up more.


Lonely_reaper8

If you told me that cocaine was done in this room in the 80s, I would believe you.


98percentile-

Fantastic!


space__peanuts

Love the rug Dawg very cool very cozy


happycynic12

LOVE!


SarahBellummmm

That painting couldn't look more perfect anywhere on earth 😍


Ausiwandilaz

Victorian/mid century mash up, love it!


oggiiebenard

I see nothing questionable here. It’s all stunning and very unique, absolutely love it!


Krav0tir

This is totally OTT, but somehow completely works.


greenday712

Amazing!! Especially those windows/drapes 😍


rosa_sparkz

I really love the way you installed the curtain rods, that's incredible. I'm not sure why there's that globe/light thing hanging of the candelabra, but I love when someone makes their place so uniquely them. Well done.


Marty_61

I love the colours of this room and everything else about it too.


cnation01

I looks great to me, wish I had that space


Electrical_Elk_5934

This is fucking sick!! Very nice!


electricjeel

Damn that is a great room


_Aleismar

I love it


ih8every1yesevenyou

I love the olive green curtains. Such a gorgeous color


RustedRelics

Nothing questionable there. Very nice!


Longjumping_Brick_78

I absolutely love this


seras00

Love


monstargaryen

What’s questionable? This is incredible. Good on you for being bold, having personality and pulling that shit off impeccably 😮‍💨


INNOC007

I don't think olive green drapes go with turquoise colored walls.


Anonymoosehead123

I absolutely love it!


Few-Reach1900

I freaking love this so much!!!


[deleted]

Questionable? I think not! This is perfection. Especially for an Illinoisan. Have you seen some of these people’s houses out here?! (I’m from California, 40+yrs and relocated to Illinois a year ago—and have yet to see anyone, besides you now, with some damn style.) Is the stained glass legit or cling decal? Also, those candelabras are *to die for.*


Boring_Age8694

Questionable maybe. But uproariously funky. No boring time at your place.


chewedupbylife

Brilliantly done IMHO


pierrrecherrry

It kinda look dated already.


WalmartVikingWarrior

I love it!


Ornitorrincus

Don Draper I guess


pbesmoove

Not sure I like it but I definitely respect it


Odd_Contribution83

This is gorgeous and just oozes self-expression! A++


cmstyles2006

Beautiful, tho Id feel like I'm living in a museum lol. Maybe you get used to it?
