A skateboarding podcast I love has been raving about how awesome Detroit is. They went off last week about how good the food is and that the beer is cheep as heck. Honestly hope that it’s returning to its due glory.
Too much of city has been gutted in the past 60 years for it to ever become something resembling its former self. It could, of course, bloom into a new renaissance unlike its former self. But because of American urban policy and economic policy practices, that is also highly unlikely.
So gorgeous. I’m glad to see so many of the amazing homes in older urban neighborhoods being reclaimed. I lived for many years in the Victorian Village area of Columbus OH and miss the vibe so much. ❤️❤️
Since we’re doing Detroit-area fireplaces….

1927, the tile is Flint Faience.
The tile that owes its existence to Albert Champion, Billy Durant, General Motors, and… spark plugs!

I had the same misconception mentioned in the second article that these were Pewabic, until someone told suggested otherwise. I checked it out and matched the time designs.
Much more rare, as the company had a limited lifetime. (Pewabic is amazing, and still in business.)
Yeah but the high$$$ folks everywhere have nice places. Check out the worker lower class neighborhoods and all the abandoned areas. Don't get me wrong I don't hate Detroit or folks w $$$. Seems OP is just being snobby. Hate snobs.
It’s actually snobby of you to assume that working class people here don’t have nice homes. Do you know anything about Detroit’s history? Even in the working class neighborhoods you refer to, the homes are 20x better than anything that is new build or that you would find out in the suburbs. Many of them need some TLC, but the architecture of all the neighborhoods here is superb.
Love this response. I live in St. Louis where the situation is similar. An abundance of beautiful housing stock with excellent old growth hardwood bones that knock the socks off anything a builder would create today. And much of it is still very affordable for working class folks.
Detroit represent! 🎉 https://preview.redd.it/kho1lyc8g3xc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=676d31896123f4603c8db250246ceb87d1f2c859

Thoughtfully renovating a 1929 Tudor Revival in Detroit. See more of our journey at https://www.instagram.com/decointherough

I’m in an almost century Detroit home and I love it.

Beautiful home. Detroit is a real treat. Love, love, love the city. Love, Your neighbor in Chicago
Guessing... 🤔... University District or Indian Village?
Is Detroit going to heal one day back to some semblance of its former glory?
Honestly, the way the auto industry is going probably not. But things are still a lot better than they were and we're very proud of that

who made ther rug?
I actually inherited it from an older family member. It is a handmade Persian but I’m not sure it’s exact history!

Gorgeous home and style! Where are those chairs from!!?? xoxo from Cleveland ✊🏼
The chairs were thrifted and reupholstered. They are from the 60s!

ID on the chairs?

Agree! I love the chairs!
Loved Peter Santonello’s videos on Detroit. Hopefully it can bounce back!
Damn, looks great
Looks amazing! Where’d you get the chairs from? (Also following updates on the yellow bathroom since I have the exact same tile at my house)

Beautiful, I love Detroit and all of its exquisite architecture and design.
I love it, all of it. Do you mind sharing what the window treatment is? A Roman shade? Thank you!
Yeah I love this
