My wife and I have had separate blankets since we've lived together. She likes a big, thick down comforter and I like just a light cotton blanket. Doesn't solve my snoring bothering her, though...

I just bought a couple hours ago to make tomatillo enchiladas tomorrow night. The tomatillo sauce take a lot of time with the roasting, blending, straining and reducing, so not having to roast or ...

I was so happy to see Rick Bayless win! Since I love his kind of Mexican food, I live in Chicago and he seemed like such a genuinely nice guy I've been pulling for him the entire series.

First, replace photo with a White Sox print... I've always liked the look of black frame and white mat around a b&w photo on a light gray or khaki color wall.

I love the pick-up truck bed bed! Way cooler than the racecar bed I wanted as a child.

Violetsrose, this house sits on the edge a ravine, so it's more secluded than most of the other homes in the neighborhood. In Highland Park, $2 million certainly doesn't buy any kind of estate, es...

I wish had an extra $2 million laying around... I grew up in the neighborhood and actually remember riding my bike over and watching them film the scene with the car jumping out of that garage. I'...

I currently live in a Lincoln Park high rise, although since we're on the 3rd floor we don't have quite the stunnig view our neighbors above do... if our unit were above the 10th floor or so, we'd...

Lego were far and away my favorite toy when I was a kid and I love Frank Lloyd Wright... I really want to get my hands on these? Has anybody found anyplace online selling them yet? I've searched ...

I love these types of conversions... They keep the historic continuity of the street/neighborhood in tact while creating a surprise for visitors who enter to find something entirely different from ...

Chicago is hands down the best city in the world between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The beaches close to downtown, the free outdoor concert and movies, the music fests, the street fests, the art ...

The irony is that the owner, Penny Pritzker, is likely to be living in France as the U.S. Ambassador for the next few years...

If you're a young, single professional then I'd try to live someplace that's more oriented to that lifestyle. Northbrook is primarily families with children. I grew up in Highland Park, which is a...

I didn't realize this was so common... the only time I ever remember seeing this was in my grandparents' house in Iowa built in the late-50's, that had the washer & drier in the kitchen but set off...

if the column does contain wiring,etc. that needs to stay, find creative ways to build storage around it, like this

I have a toolbox I keep 'em in... since they're small and likely to get misplaced, I tend to keep multiples of the same sized ones. Better to have some spares than not being able to find one when ...

Another vote for the sheet suspender clips... used them in college when the sheets kept popping off those crummy dorm mattresses.

I'm going to guess mid-late 60's. That looks just like my grandparents' style... mix of tribal and modern. Except they had a (real) leopard hide rug and a wall-mounted bar/storage ca...

I used to have a navy sectional before my wife moved in... in a living room w/ white walls and very light beige carpeting. I painted one wall of the living room a matching dark blue as an accent w...

Really like the concept... but high maintenance. Would work best in place like high end restaurant or hotel lobby washroom, where somebody would be tasked with changing the flower out regularly.
