I have the light aqua-colored Spectrum rug, and it does shed -- we get lima-bean-sized balls of wool accumulating on top of it if we don't vacuum it once a week. However, we have had ours since Aug...

I adore the use of color -- the color in the dining area really feels like the "right" color for that space, it just clicks -- but I'm really over the moon over the photography on the walls! Great ...

I purchased a gold/cream version of this after seeing the pink one in Domino about a year ago. I never got around to hanging it (couldn't find the right place for it) and now that I have a new hous...

Suburban Life has really lead the change on the Spindle story (they're the ones who broke the story in the first place), so if you're lookin...

KristinaXI -- I knew the black/white/red color combo reminded me of books from my childhood, but I couldn't remember if it was Babysitter's Club or Sleepover Friends! Good call on that one :) ...

I Yelp! It's my go-to source for pretty much everything in Chicago. The reviews tend to be decently written and include the kind of information food write-ups in newspapers often lack -- how noisy ...

I'm getting ready for a short-distance (five blocks) move as well, so I've been doing this research. I think we're going to go with The Prof...

I think this table from Room and Board would work well with the dresser/buffet. Its lines mirror those of th...

chicagores07 -- you may want to look into whether Amy Lenahan with Design I Interiors offers the kind of help your looking for. Her pricing is very ...

I love the bluish-gray paint in the dining area!

Re: the heaviness/bulkiness of the couch -- I take my cue from the couch's legs and armrests. When it has the really low, thick legs like this one, the armrests tend to be thicker as well, and that...

Oh, and about the rug -- the more pieces of furniture that touch the rug (even if it's just one of the front legs), the larger the space will feel. I'd move it down/away from the wall with the door...

I agree -- the couch does look a bit heavy/bulky for the room. What about the this one from IKEA? Not sure if that would be out of...

This is perfect for people who have small outdoor spaces that would be too cluttered by having a table of that size taking up permanent residence. Good find!

Ooh, what paint color was used as the primary color in the bedroom? It looks like a gorgeous medium gray...

That looks kinda familiar ... is that Round Hill? We stayed there for our honeymoon :)

Wow, do you have coved ceilings in the dining room? And are they painted light blue? Gorgeous. Maybe you should just list all the paints you've used :)
