Who did you contact at the Fairmont? I've had easy success with getting their mattress and wonderful pillows. I spoke with the purchasing director at the Chicago Fairmont. Wonderful person to de...

THANK YOU for this post. these places look fantastic. i've been looking for suggestions for the Wis/Mich area as we are complete novices.

Redhead - please provide the link to the Ikea bed you're referring to. I have never seen it and am very interested in it.

Just saw their bedsets - SEETHING with jealousy.

I dream of some day owning a Montauk chair where I can just sink into it and read to my heart's content.

As a Chicago area resident, mobility means this to me: somewhat tolerable distance to downtown as well as an airport if driving (I now live in the burbs), easy access to public transportation and e...

Question - did you do the reupholstering yourself, or did you have it professionally done? If so, how much was that?

I ride the Green Line as well and have never seen worthwhile pieces in the numerous dumpsters we zoom past. Guess I need to get my head out of my books. I really like what they did with the exter...

Did AT do a bathroom month? I thought so but I can't remember. About to start rehabbing our small bathroom so would love to see some ideas. Thanks.

Anyone care to venture a guess on the kitchen cabinets? I adore them. I wish there were pictures of the bathrooms, too.

Good lord, I just want to move right in.

Good gawd! that's a cute baby! Also, thanks for the tip on this place.
