Doris Christopher: Pampered Chef Founder's Home Diet

[NooraK]

Pampered Chef Founder Goes on House Diet - Chicago magazine - May 2011 - Chicago

Looks like a nice place.

I'm not too keen on the author's implied tone about "downsizing". Doris has worked hard to get where she is, and this is the kind of house she wants to live in, she has certainly earned it.

wow - that is beautiful!

 

[chefa]

It IS beautiful; would love to see the inside. Sounds like the writer has a bad case of sour grapes.

 

[gailz2]

It is beautiful, and she deserves it--what do they expect her to down size to? a 3 BR ranch?

 

[pkd09]

She and Jay worked really hard those early years and deserve to have anything they want. Home Sweet Home

 

[Hunter Mom]

Um, if their kids are gone and it's just the two of them, why wouldn't they downsize? Not everyone needs - or wants - a huge home! That said, most of us wouldn't consider their new house particularly modest, I'm guessing.

 

[ritabenson]

whoopie doo dah it is her life LET HER BE! It is so sad people have so much interest in making other peoples lives miserable. This is a sad world and I worry for my childrens future.

 

[esavvymom]

Must be a slow news day in the area to report on a real estate transaction of a millionaire! geesh.

Agreed. Plus, even though they've downsized, they still have plenty of room for the whole family to come stay! And lots of room for the grandkids to play!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

You go, Doris. Enjoy that beautiful home.

 

[cookinfletch]

Becky D- that's what I was thinking, too!!

 

[chefheidi2003]

I completely agree. She worked hard to get where she is. It wasn't just given to her. She deserves anything she wants.

 

[ShellBeach]

I really like that brick architecture that looks like a mini-castle. Way cool! Good for her & her family!

It was the real estate agent that mentioned downsizing, not the writer. And downsizing is what everyone in their age bracket usually does, for many reasons. I didn't see anything derogatory about the article, just sharing news. It looks like a beautiful home and I'll sure they will be very happy there.

Yes, but the author put "downsizing" in quotes and made a note to compare the number of rooms in the two homes... It just came across to me as though he thought they didn't downsize enough.

 

[chefsteph07]

To Doris and Jay, it IS downsizing from what they HAD. I think the house is beautiful and they worked hard so they should enjoy their time in it!

 

[heather223]

I agree about the article. WAY TO GO DORIS! You deserve this and anything else you want!

 

[sherri lynn]

I couldn't agree with you guys more! Wahoo hor Doris and her family.

 

[Becca_in_MD]

She's doing her kids a favor by getting rid of the bigger house now so they don't have to deal with it when she and Jay are gone. Not that they've sold it yet...

 

[ChipLines]

Amazing home -- I wish we could take a peak inside. Looks incredible - so proud to be associated with her and this company.

 

[pampered1224]

It is really "cute" considering the area they are in. Hinsdale is the creme de la creme of neighborhoods in the Chicago area. The $6 million home is more the norm out there. I am shocked the news even bothered to carry a story such as that. Just goes to show the "name" Doris has made for herself in Chicago! I say good for them. Besides, who knows if she is doing housework or is someone else does. I sure would not want to take care of the other place! I have enough problems with 6 rooms!

 

[Paula R. Lewis]

I would, quite frankly, expect the Christophers to have a nice home like this!

Quite frankly, though, I sure would love to see the kitchen!! lol
