That low seating nook by the window is fantastic. I love it all.

Love the greyhound photobomb!

Really amazing. Where in Chicago are you?

I LOVE this. First house tour in a while that has really grabbed me. Beautiful job, Lindsey!

Or like being pelted with a bunch of rocks!

"If you somehow found or were given them then you can return them to the dairy listed on the side of the crate"

That's a wee bit absurd, no? I live in Chicago and there are milk crates in every alley, but not a dairy farm for miles. I have no car, so in order to return a crate (which probably runs less than $2 wholesale) I would have to rent a car, buy a bus ticket or ask a friend to take me. Maybe your friends are nicer than mine, but I am fairly sure mine would not set aside a day to return a milk crate...in fact, they would most likely laugh in my face. It seems the gas and pollution involved far outweigh the benefits of returning it.

Also, I don't hate the console. Not exactly practical as is, and it could stand a bit more of a uniform look, but the legs and that one bright pink pop redeem it for me.

I have seen only the bladeless fan up close, and as far as I could tell it was silent. I also think they are much more design savvy than a box fan and take up a bit less space. For parents, the bladeless aspect is priceless as little fingers won't be a worry and a topple won't send your place up in flames.

Still, the $400 price tag is a bit hard to swallow and the power from the fan I saw was hardly enough to cool and entire 15x15 room, leading me to believe a single unit would do little to nothing for a 1500 sq ft apt. It is a great item, but I don't see myself purchasing until the price drops a substantial amount.

He does have a fantastic voice though...

This is a pretty obvious no-no for parents and pet owners...

Do yourself a favor and call Ikea before going to pick up a Lack shelf. I drove an hour on Sunday to pick 3 of these up and they said they were sold out until at least mid-September.

Also, the most memorable interior for me (besides all Wes Anderson flicks) is Lisa Bonet's apartment in High Fidelity. So great.
