The iguana makes me lol and I think that's the point of a lot of what they've showcased here. Their place is kind of what I imagined my favorite quirky high school Spanish teacher would have going on in her house. Great, tour. I wish for natural light and a cute dog moddle just like Libby & Ryan's someday. I love the bedroom paint color like woah. Invite me over so I can admire your teak candlesticks in person! I would let you pat me down before I left, even. Libby Ryan's Light Airy Granny ChicHouse Tour \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	1/22/10 6:34 PM
I also signed up for the Chicago cure but on the NY page, but I did pick Chicago. Add me please? Apartment Therapy Chicago \| CHI Spring Cure: Week One#comments Flag this comment	3/10/08 12:06 PM
globe amaranth! I got some & asked what they were b/c they were so fun & straw-feeling. Apartment Therapy - Look! : Our Farmers Market Buys Flag this comment	9/28/07 1:44 PM
Hildi, of Trading Spaces fame, had the idea of "hay wall" years ago! :) Apartment Therapy - Abacadazzle Wallpaper by Maya Romanoff Flag this comment	9/18/07 2:34 PM
She also has a small stock at Asrai. While it lasts I suppose. She stopped making votives in more than 2 scents & I had my suspicions she'd be moving soon... I love her stuff & the quality is great. Unfortunately for my pocketbook I am familiar with enough faves to confidently order online. I was amped when I got that email yesterday. :) Apartment Therapy - Tatine Candles Flag this comment	8/22/07 12:54 PM
I was so amped & psyched for the cicadas. Then when they didn't show up in the city it was like this biggest something-tease of all time! Eventually I got out to Brookfield and was immersed in all the cicada awesomeness. And my brother brought me a baggie containing a bunch of dead ones in case I hadn't got to see them in real life. They stink like cheese. Neat! Have the Cicadas Affected Your Home Life?? Flag this comment	7/11/07 1:23 PM
I'd like to be more green, but I try my best. Things like i-go make it easy to not be a car owner. Mad ups for i-go. I try to bring my own bags to stores. And my small garbage can in my condo helps keep me conscious of the waste I create. Taking out the trash sucks so if I create less of it, the fewer trips out to the alley I make! Riding my bike helps the environment & my belleh. We all win. July Is Green Home Month Flag this comment	7/9/07 1:41 PM
Yes, thank you, Janel! Water & water bottles are freaking me out. never mind the fact that only a small percentage of the largely non-biodegradable bottles ever make it within spitting distance of a recycling facility, nearly all major brands (coke, pepsi) use TAP water for their products & just add minerals. you are paying more for a gallon of bottled tap water than for gasoline. Think about it. ehn. lastly, the FDA has a whole two people assigned to regulate all of your bottled waters. EPA regulates tap. Ok enough. Bottled water ain't all that!

I thought my neighborhood of Humbolt got it on come July 4 but oh no sir! I know now that Little Village totally knows how to do the fourth! We had a great 360-view from a newly-tarred rooftop in Pilsen & while they were going strong until 10:30, Little Village just did not stop. It was great. Survey: Fireworks View??

I feel bad now saying that, b/c it really IS a nice place. Maybe I don't understand the rules. Having a hard time articulating--the vibe I get from the space is sort of a low buzzing & I prefer something make me hear a symphony. For the smallest, coolest contest anyway! ehn I stop trying. #12 - Nathan's Clean Slate Flag this comment	4/25/07 12:12 PM
it's definitely cool & nice & modern, but for me it lacks personality. I see a globe snuck in there, but that's the only thing that lets me know this is an apartment where someone lives & isn't a boutiquey hotel. I guess I like more kick in my entries. Show me a space that is both cool & functional & make me want to get to know the person behind the space. #12 - Nathan's Clean Slate Flag this comment	4/25/07 12:08 PM
The monster eyes from beneath the bench in pic one have told me to vote insta-finalist. But really, I do like the space. It shows a lot of creativity & not just more of the same that we're used to seeing around here. The colors are happy & bright & I find it refreshing that it's not a DWR wannabe. Homey & comfortable with a kick. I like it. #11 - Johnny and Adam's Vintage Nature Nook Flag this comment	4/24/07 1:05 PM
I am hot for their stuff, but I find their prices to be WOAH. And I second what someone said in the previous entry about the owner--I don't know if it's the owner or just a worker I've encountered, but I don't get a very warm vibe whenever I'm in there. Just sayin'. Their stuff is hawt, though. Mod Life Flag this comment	4/20/07 11:26 AM
It appears much larger than 375 feet with the windows & light color on the wall. And I disagree, bluetoes--I think the Pirate flag is hilarious as contrasted with the sweet mint green walls & otherwise sort of soft-feeling living room. I like that it's not serious at all. Except that it really is serious. She's serious about pirates. But you know. ARRRR! #7 - Yvette's Charming Gold Coast Studio Flag this comment	4/18/07 10:36 AM
