yeah... the truth is that we (my roommate and I... lol) live in the limbo not quite wicker park, not quite UK village... not west loop not quite river north... we are part of the west town general area... but we got the "east village" from an old sign that is hanging from a street light near by. And we are just roommates... and in fact it is funny cause our stuff is all over the place... some furniture is his, some is mine... same with everything else (art, plants, etc)...

thanks everyone!!! (house owner)
i did not know how to do comments... but finally i got it.
ok... "las putas llaves"... my ex's mom gave it to me no long ago (long after we broke up though...) i think it is a very common crafty thing, a staple in those funny souvenir markets in south america.
let see... the unicycle, well... the unicycle... what else :)
the carpet is from a silly hook up that i got with a department store that was getting rid of thing that they had in storage!!!!! i could not believe it either!
my blanket on my bed is hand made by local artesian in Chile (expensive, but worth it)
the lamp, from a thrift store
the plants... well... they take all my free time and my thought when I am traveling.
and... well you did not see it in the pictures, but there is a lot more modern art on the wall... like a giant blk and white gorilla image in the kitchen... that really takes over it.
I see the south american "good revolutionary" 1970's style of over all, but once again... in the context of the apt, seen with everything else, it is just one aspect of it.
Thanks so much for the comments...
IT is funny 'cause i never put much thought about the apt as a whole... i just added what ever we liked to the wall and the rooms as we went... and it is kind of cool to "think" and "analyze" my apt! thanks everyone!
