"Continental Thinking\nTwo Apartments in Chicago Find Common Ground and Take on a Worldly Feel\n\"We combined two apartments and gave the new space a Neoclassical vocabulary to complement the owners' art,\" designer Thomas Allardyce says of the residence he and his partner, Illya Hendrix, and architect Thomas Jakway renovated in Chicago.\n\nEuropean antiques help create the entrance hall's elegant ambience. Janet Yonaty wallcovering.\nClaude Monet's L'Ariv\u00E9e \u00E0 Montgeron, 1876, hangs on a wall in the living room. Ormolu-mounted cut-glass boxes from Sotheby's are on the side table. Swedish parcel-gilt center table and sofa, Therien. Antique Agra rug, Mansour.\nPissarro's La Louvre et La Seine du Pont Neuf, 1902, left, and Femme Assise aux Bas Rouges, 1897-98, by Renoir flank the fireplace. \"The deep wall color absorbs the light and allows the art to come alive,\" Hendrix notes. Mirror, kingwood commode and Gustavian armchairs, with Stark fabric, from Christie's. Sotheby's mosaic table. Janet Yonaty slipper chair stripe.\n\"Great emphasis was placed on symmetry,\" says Hendrix. In the dining room, six Hendrix Allardyce-designed chairs, covered in antiqued leather, surround a 19th-century table. The Tang Dynasty ceramics and the Charles Schneider mottled-glass vase are from Paul Ferrante. The brackets, sconce and chandelier are from Christie's. Balloon shade linen, Lee Jofa.\nGreen and gold tones warm the master suite. On either side of the fireplace stands an 18th-century parcel-gilt fauteuil from Therien. A Baroque-style credenza, designed by Hendrix Allardyce, is at the foot of the custom four-poster bed. An Italian gueridon with a specimen-marble top is in the corner. The wallcovering is from Clarence House. The drapery floral is from Stark."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
