The Marianne owns an upscale Flea Market shop and rents an apt. on Logan Blvd., in Chicago. She calls her decor style Parisian belle époque parlor with some updates from the 1970s and 1980s mixed in.

This sofa was too large to bring up to the 2nd fl., so Marianne’s husband created a pulley to lift it up the back stairs.


Marianne is always coming up with new rental friendly ideas. She hung this removable matte black “crocodile skin” wallpaper in the hallway.



People lucky enough to own used furniture stores have the most wonderful pieces.

An art-filled hall leads to the kitchen.



The way it’s decorated, doesn’t even look like a kitchen.


The bedroom is tres chic with it’s black painted bureau.


A sconce and some French antiques dress up a standard apt. bathroom. Very classy apt.
