The beautiful old historic building that was saved from ruin by Restoration Hardware. It was once home to an art school for budding female artists.
The entry with the aged mirror inside the arches with the grand chandelier reflecting in the glass.
Beautiful old zinc window elements forming a mirror over the modern sofa.
Lots of oversized coffee tables with simple accessories.
Lot's of oversized mirrors with great impact.
Gracious old stone fireplace filled with burning candles- so romantic.
A series of three halo chandeliers- stunning.
I was so inspired that I ordered one of these promptly upon returning home!
Over sized accessories for the oversized coffee tables.
I am in love with this new honed marble dining room table.
A bath on the modern floor.
What a cool concept for kids.
The view from the second floor into the beautiful restaurant.
Restaurants ceiling- even on a gloomy Chicago day- it is pretty!
The wine bar banquette- wow!
Notice the large slab of rock on the steel trestle- used as a wine bar.
And by the way- the food was divine!
The beautiful coffee bar with it's aged mirror backdrop and brass towers
full of hotel silver and crystal..
Gray walls, white marble and brass accents- pure magic!
If you live in Chicago, this is a must see! There's valet parking right in front of the store, so there's no hassle with finding parking on the street. Plan on spending some quality time enjoying the wonderful architecture of this wonderful old building and for sure- have lunch in the amazing restaurant! You will walk out inspired and refreshed from this shopping experience.

We own a condo across the street from the Three Arts Club. It has been a LONG and horrible ride for our neighborhood, but thr building looks beautiful. It was suppose to become the Soho House, but we all were dismayed with the idea of a pool being installed on the rooftop (especially the owner next door that owns a multi million dollar home). Then, a company wanted to turn the building into a place for urns filled with ashes! Such a beautiful building, and very much for the living, not the dead. Thankfully, our association was able to get that plan killed (no pun intended). We are hopeful that RH will continue to be a good and respectful neighbor.
This looks amazing. I will have to get down there.
My new favorite place to eat in the city,,,,,,,you just don't want the meal to end. The vibe and ambience is so appealing that it makes you want to linger and linger. Gorgeous store......magnificent chandeliers and mirrors!!!
WOW! Thanks for sharing. It certainly is stunning Love the warmth of the brick with it all.
Can't wait to see it!
Looks amazing, Susan!
This place is so yummy. No one has captured it like you have...even Restoration Hardware...they should hire you!
I am designing my home to include a central atrium and when I found some pics of this RH store, I was obsessed and hope to plan a trip to visit from Australia very soon.
Of all the pics on the net inc Pinterest etc, your pics are the most varied and detailed I have found so thank you for your post. Much appreciated and will go to be dreaming of RH tonight..
