- Interior designers James Dolenc and Tom Riker take us inside their handsome apartment in Chicago's Gold Coast.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com
James Dolenc and Tom Riker, known for their colorful and textured spaces, purchased this charming unit in 2018. Located in a historic 1920’s pre-war building, the apartment offered a layout that instantly appealed to them, despite its small size of 1400 sqft. Viewing it as their pied-à-terre to return to after weekends in Michigan, they embarked on a major gut renovation to transform the space.
While the unit had little original interest, James and Tom aimed to stay true to the heritage, integrity, and architecture of the building. They infused the space with vibrant colors and used decor and wallpaper to reflect the beautiful views of the lake, creating an inviting and timeless atmosphere. Their design showcases warmth, generosity, and affection, hallmarks of their renowned style.

What a charming place and owners! May we see your Michigan house too?
I believe the last home listed in their portfolio may be theirs. The address to the website is in the box below the video.
@@chemokikithanks!
@@TheDriftwoodlover thank you for the kind remarks!
Love it and very, very charming. You both put a lot of hard work and beautiful ideas in your Chicago home. We would love to see your Michigan home. I am sure it is absolutely gorgeous. Sending hugs, prayers and kindness with the daily dose of encouragement.♥️🙏🏼👍🏼🌹
Hopefully Michigan and Homeworthy will happen someday. 🥰
Correction! My bad. Romaine Crisp is the Benjamin Moore color on the kitchen cabinets. 💚 Thank you all for the incredibly kind words. 🥂
Gorgeous! would love to see their 'real home' in Michigan, can you imagine how beautiful it would be!!
We love our home and thank you greatly for the kind words! Hopefully Michigan will be up next!
Magnificent! This is how a house designed by interior designers should be, not just a white/beige box
Ha! We definitely embraced color in this home. 🙋♂️
Absolutely stunning. Homeworthy is CRANKING out the content and I am so here for it!! More Chicago homes please!
Here, here to more Chicago homes! 🥂
You guys are adorable!
To the person who mentioned your lamp cord scrunchie that's in the living room was distracting. In my opinion it is like a piece of art. I loved the color of it and I loved how it drapes and it. It's a statement it actually brings your eye. It doesn't distract it brings your eye and makes the whole thing cohesive to the room. So I love the lamp cord and it has inspired me to do the very same thing that I had a troubling hanging lamp in my bathroom chandelier and I'm going to do the exact same thing you guys did. Thank you so much for a lovely tour of your beautiful home. I've learned so much from the both of you. Take care❤
Different strokes for different folks, but appreciate the shout out! The lamp cord silk cover has historical merit - that treatment has been used for hundreds of years. 😊
Superb. It’s not a unit gentlemen, it’s a beautiful home.
Bravo, well done gents!
Your voices are dang near identical.
Ahhh, means a lot! Thank you.
I was sold the second you opened your front door and met you. I fell in love with you when you patted your beautiful sofa and invited Teddy up. Then Sunny Arquette entered the room a peaceful loving family vibe was apparent. Loved your video and all four of you. Thank you for the tour.
I thought he said, "Sunny, our cat." and later did the wonder if he said Arquette also!
I knew something was wrong there. Hahaha! Sometimes I crack myself up. Thank you for the clarification.
I love when you feature gay couples. They often have a slightly different perspective and daring. Inspirational.
Happy Pride month and thanks for the shout out! 🏳️🌈
By far one of the best home tours from Home worthy.
That means a lot! Thank you.
Lovely, comfortable and welcoming home. Thx for sharing.
A JEWEL BOX OF AN APARTMENT. SO LOVELY AS WERE THE HOSTS...DELIGHTFUL. EVERY SPACE WAS EXCEPTIONAL
Thank you for the sweet thoughts!
I love to see two gentlemen living and working together, completing each other's sentences and enjoying the same passions
Ahhh, thank you! We love what we do. 😊
Great space...two individuals who know how to put a home together!
Tom and James, thank you for featuring our work in this gorgeous home tour. As always, I am so lucky to get to work with you and your team! Kind and lovely, indeed! 😘
Proud to call you a friend and incredible design partner! 🥂
Thank you, gentlemen. I loved touring your home with you. I enjoyed meeting your pets, as well.
Ahh, you are more than welcome and glad you enjoyed the tour!

Beautiful home. Beautiful collections of furniture and art. Cozy and comfortable but sophisticated. Thank you so much for sharing. Can we do a tour of your Michigan home??
The before after contrast is wild
Beautiful home and handsome men 😉
LOL
Really enjoyed this tour. The guys play off well with each other and while the apt may be small they've done a great job of making it a home. Love the Miles Redd red fabric too!
Absolutely the quintessential Gold Coast home…thank you for sharing 🥳🤩🥳
Such a charming pied-à-terre for two busy chaps. Enjoyed this episode enormously, thank you Homeworthy.
Greetings from Norway. This was great! Thank you both.
Greetings from Chicago and glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Just WOW😍😍If this Condo was the Monday-Friday home, @Homeworthy, We must see the weekend Mansion in Michigan 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh ! Such a lovely space! Love when owners on a tight budget are able to make the most of an interior with budget artwork and simple pieces ! Bravo
What a lovely couple & what a warming home! Congratulations, & enjoy yourselves 👏👍😉🌸🌹🎶🎨🐕☕️
YOUR HOME IS SOOO INVITING!...IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING!...LOVE THE DECOR! THANKS FOR SHARING!
We love our home too, and glad you enjoyed the tour!
The "garden room" is my favorite moment! Lattice GALORE! Love that it's just for two of them. ❤
OMGGG I need the Michigan home tour now!!! STUNNING! More Chicago :)
Sonny! Or, Sunny? What a fine, FINE Kitty ❤ Thank you for the tour, lovely and so cozy!
Would love to see your Michigan home !!
I enjoyed the care and consideration with which the designers/homeowners did everything in their home. I loved the blue grasscloth and rug in their living room. I also loved the paint color in the kitchen, the light fixtures everywhere, and the details and finishes in their dressing room. The whole was interesting as well as beautiful.
Beautiful
This episode definitely ended too soon! I could have listened to them for hours 😊 What a charming couple and I really love how they interact with each other while explaining everything so well. The home is very elegant and cozy. I love all the wallpaper ! And -so beautiful: The dressing room and the bathroom 👍 And I really like the way they both were dressed, a bit sophisticated but also casual. Very nice tour, thanks for showing and all the best to them and their cat and dog🍀 Greetings from Germany 😊
love these two guys.... the reno ROCKS
Cozy and comfy! I could move right in! Gorgeous home, gents!
That's kitchen!! Gentlemen, you have made a lovely lovely home!
We lived in Chicago on the Gold Coast and then Lincoln park many years ago . I miss it so. 💕
I love that area, nothing like it
The floral wallpaper and the green used on doors are fabulous. What a nice life you have!
A truly well considered home. The mixture of features was balanced yet provocative. Would love to see their Michigan retreat.
It’s even more special and beautiful in person. You two are insanely talented.
You know it well, friend!😘
James you seem to be the heart of this beautiful home with your charming energy! Congratulations! Nice apartment!
The colors, textures and lighting fixtures in this apartment are beautiful. I don’t normally gravitate towards moodier spaces but I really love this. I would love to see your Michigan home!
Fabulous! So beautiful and very interesting.
So loved this apartment tour!! The updates are amazing!! I especially love the dark green kitchen, black marble fireplace & red peacock fabric on pillows & dinning club chairs (I use red in my living & dinning room.) Thanks for such a great tour!
Very handsome, charming gentlemen and home.
gorgeous, smart, smart, smart, everything smart! Love Mr. Owl.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, wonderful home. I met these partners years ago at a party in Virginia and they remain completely charming as well as thoughtful design guides.
That was an incredible, inspiring trip!! We need to come back. 🥰
Stunning! So talented! Please show us your Michigan home.
These two guys are so HANDSOME…..with a beautiful home….darling….there is ALWAYS room for MORE stuff….y’all didn’t talk about that turtle box in your dining room…love love love it and everything y’all have done…Thankyou so much for showing us your home…what about your home in Michigan….bet it’s even better….Thankyou again, carolyn from Columbus Georgia…omg…I want to turn our guest room into a closet/dressing room…to die for!!!!
STUNNING! Super practical. Gorgeous couple. Love this apartment. Well done.
Moody, comfortable, whimsical - lovely home and owners too
Good looking, nice guys in a very tasteful home. Looks like a good life!
While I love seeing all the beautiful spaces on Homeworthy, it's the magic people make in the small apartments and studios that are my favorites -- this one included!
This space is simply perfection. ❤
A truly beautiful apartment that exudes charm and personality. The tasteful decor is a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy comfort, reflecting the unique character of its owners. Each room is thoughtfully designed, featuring a harmonious mix of colors, textures, and carefully chosen furnishings. Personal touches, like curated artwork and unique souvenirs from their travels, give the space a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Everything is so tastefully displayed, is truly a feast to the eyes! And those antique chairs by the office area♥️♥️♥️
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!
Another great video. I love the way this couple works together to explain the details. I'm also voting to see their Michigan home.
What a stunningly chic apartment, and so lovingly and cleverly created and narrated, by a warm relationship that appears to weave in and out of being totally present with one another! Lucky you...... guys! Please let's see your Michigan Home House, as your flair is caressed by genius! Blessings to you both.....and do bring the word 'soul' into your next canvas for the viewer, meaning your central home, as this is obviously an essential aspect of your oeuvre!
Thank you so much for the love and support! ❤
What a charming space!
Perfection. A design masterclass!
That means a lot! Thank you.❤
One of my new favorite designers you have showcased! The dining room is exquisite! Absolutely beautiful home and so many great tips they kindly shared, thank you!
What an awesome home. The video was too short to take in all the beauty I’ve had to rewatch this again and again and every time I was totally immersed. Would absolutely love to see your Michigan home!
How lovely& two utterly charming men. Thank you for showing us your lovely home ❤️🙏
This was a treat, thank you!
Oh boy this is a beautiful apartment filled with items which paired with lovely. How nice it’s that they use t( what they called small apartment) . I like the wall’s paint colors. This tour couple amused me when one of them said: “ I’m a maximalist and the other indicated: I’m kind of a hoarder.” I didn’t see hoarder but rather a designed apartment structural form for a home-work space. Enjoy.
What a great space and a charming couple!
Beautiful warm and inviting colours are gorgeous and you both are lovely and very stylish indeed hope to maybe see your other main home I’m sure it’s even more beautiful thankyou for this wonderful tour😊
You say that your apartment is small, only 1400 square feet. Gosh, my 1830 Greek revival house is 1450 square ft. The dining room hanging fixture is wonderful.
Gorgeous ❤
Wonderful! I've recently taken possession of a very white patio home. You've inspired me! I too would love to see your Michigan home. Thank you for your lovely tour.
Such a beautiful home - thank you for sharing it with us!
Beautiful home. Lovely couple. Very inspiring.
Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous 🥰. I love every inch of their home.
Very nicely done. You both have made excellent use of the space in form and function. The scale is well done. That rich green throughout reminds me of my stay in England, as well as other features. I'm a big fan of hunter green in an old world mix. This apartment has got to be a godsend during the work week.
This is love at first sight
Agree.
What a charming home! I love their dining room and kitchen!! I enjoyed visiting with James and Tom and love how family is very important to them! :)
Your home away from home is absolutely stunning. I am so inspired by it. (Truth be told i want to squat there ;) and never leave) i hope that Homeworthy gets to see your Michigan home as well.
Thank you for the kind accolades! 😊
love the hall Scalamandre wallpaper. may I have the name of the pattern?
Scalamandre botanical pheasant I believe
Gorgeous home ❤️❤️. Would have loved to have seen their bedroom.
very charming place! colors, details, finishes. Also what an adorable person James is! enjoyed the tour
Lovely, love the kitchen and their dressing room. Such great guys too. It was so nice to hear them talk about their team. I don't think any of the airhead pretend 'interior designers'' wives of millionaires ever acknowledge anyone. I'm now hungry to see their other home.
Beautiful. As someone else mentioned can we please see your home in Michigan. Very warm and cozy home, well done.
What a gorgeous couple! Loved them , stun decor loved all of it well done!!! ❤
Love the rug - Nicely done guys
I love it! I wanta see their Michigan house too!
Love this place so thoughtful, lots of talent here.
Lovely house! Thank you for the video!
Such a wonderful video, such gentlemen.
Being a bit of a hoarder can looked great when every object is perfectly positioned.
Bravo, Gentlemen, and cheers to you, too! 🥂
Love a Miles Redd mention!
Beautiful!
