Chicago Edition!
-
I keep returning to look at the photos from this former bath house in Wicker Park. Even if we could afford it ($2,300,000!), it’s too much house for us (10,000 sq ft!). It’s fun to think about though.
-
Chicago is divided clearly by neighborhoods, but also by class.
-
Drawing on that last article, want to know where Chicago’s creative types live? This is a good start. Oak Park is one of the top spots.
-
This is the lone non-Chicago link among the rest this week, but I like The Windows of New York. (And hey, they feel pretty familiar.) (via Swiss Miss)
-
The Vintage Bazaar is popping up again this weekend. Brandon and I are going tonight. Will we see you there?
-
Maybe the finishing touches to my kitchen are among these? (I’m looking at you, Mano storage jars, you cute little things you.)
-
I came across this cute line of lingerie, and liked the retro look of it. Turns out, they’re trying to solve a… shall we say ‘delicate’ situation?
-
My desk is perfectly fine, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about redecorating with these.
-
Stop talking. (That print cracks me up, big time.)

February 15, 2013 at 2:06 pmI used to live down the street from that beautiful bath house. Loved walking by it every day, loved dreaming about living in it even more. Sigh – you’d have to have the budget for giant art pieces to fill it, too.

February 15, 2013 at 3:07 pmI’d love to take a tour of the inside, but I don’t want to waste the realtor’s time (because there’s no way we could actually purchase it). And yes, you would need a separate art budget!

February 15, 2013 at 3:04 pmI know you use and partner with Method products. Could you please consider going over your cleaning schedule or how you keep your place so picture worthy? I would love it. Thanks.

February 15, 2013 at 3:08 pmWe don’t really have a strict schedule. We clean when the house looks messy (or before I take photos!).

February 15, 2013 at 3:50 pmThat house is lovely, but 10,000 square feet for one family just seems insane to me (as you said).

February 15, 2013 at 3:52 pmOh I love that place–lived in wicker park for ten years before moving to evanston a few years ago–it was always like a little mystery walking by that place. If you do get a tour, I’ll go with you! The realtor might need a little help putting some PR behind the sale. ;)

February 16, 2013 at 8:07 pmHi Nicole-
Love the Chicago focus on your honor roll this week. Wicker Park {save for all the tear-downs} really has some great homes…but I’ll take my quiet far Northwest side without all the creatives. :)
A few weeks back you linked a story about Richard Marx…I stumbled across this article, and given that you have a Chicago-theme going this week {and I am sure you love WBEZ as well}…Richard Marx takes on Rick Kogan.

Hope the pop up was fun. My brother and I went to the one in the summer…good finds.

February 16, 2013 at 9:03 pmthe class map was really interesting. my county is service-trade, but the area where i live is a service area between two creative areas, which makes a lot of sense. thanks for the link!

February 17, 2013 at 8:20 pmDang, that place is awesome.
I think I actually went in the Smilebooth directly after you at Vintage Bazaar on Friday!

February 18, 2013 at 3:31 pmOh, I wish we could have said hello! I didn’t see you were there.

February 18, 2013 at 9:41 amThx for sharing the article on Chicago…I work in consumer targeting and geodemographic space and thought this was a great spin on the traditional white/blue collar, upscale/downscale conversation. Same data but less ‘surgical’ in it’s analysis.
Posted to LinkedIn…you helped me look smarter :)
