A Historic 1885 Chicago Apartment with Mid-Century and English Cottage Style

Step inside content creator Alexis McMullin’s historic 1885 Chicago apartment, a cozy corner unit filled with charm and character. With its original leaded glass windows and classic Chicago-style moldings, the space feels warm, inviting, and full of history.

Blending clean mid-century lines with colorful English-cottage charm, Alexis has created a home that feels both modern and timeless, and completely her own.

This space isn’t just about style—it’s about family. Her kids’ rooms are playful, bright, and full of joy, and Alexis even took a few design cues from her five-year-old daughter when choosing the wallpaper.

Filled with meaningful pieces and treasures collected from their travels, Alexis’ home is a true reflection of her family’s story. It’s inviting, layered, and beautifully lived in.
