I visited a home in Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood last night with a chicken coop in the back yard. It looked great, and it seems like a great way to be more self sufficient (and the chicks were cute too). Raising Chickens In The Backyard | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles |

Nice spread. I love Chicago Home Garden's summer homes. I can almost smell the scent of the lake and the pine trees. Thanks for covering. A Modern Michigan Lake House Chicago Home Garden | Apartment Therapy Chicago |

Thanks for the fantastic house tour. I particularly like Krista and Zac's use of black and orange - my favorite two colors at the moment. Krista Zak's Philadelphia Art Hotel House Tour | Apartment Therapy DC |

Flor has fantastic products, and I'm continually surprised by their range and price points. Just as importantly, the people behind the scenes at Flor are creative, passionate and friendly. I had the pleasure to attend a Flor catalog photo shoot at a friend's home. While my friends were initially skeptical about how carpet tiles would look in their home, the Flor team's selection made them quick converts.

Seriously, Chicago ranked #3 on the most miserable list? While Chicago is dramatic and attracts a certain type, I've never been happier anywhere else. When it's hot, it's blistering; when it rains, it pours. When it's 80, dry and sunny, everybody is outside, drinking and laughing and piling onto the beach. The people are guarded but ultimately open to anybody (President Obama's rise through Chicago politics being one example). The restaurants are incredible, the architecture is breathtakingly beautiful and the friends you'll meet will be the best you'll ever have. The sales tax sucks certainly, but I'll take another couple points on sales tax in return for Chicago's housing prices.

Great post (envy inducing but wonderful). The space is pop-tart pretty and the photography captures the energy perfectly. What a cool kid. Nice. Apartment Therapy Chicago | In Your Face Color: Lanni's Bedroom Tour |

Great post - I'll have to pick up Readymade. I love these and am a big fan of WPA art generally. In addition to these posters, the WPA produced a number of notable artists. I've written a few of posts about the WPA-period art. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Five Poster Designs Inspired by The Great Depression Free Downloads from ReadyMade Magazine |

There's another example available on my blog, Strange Closets. One of the weekly home tours, Eric and Sean have done a fantastic job in their entry hallway. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Flickr Find: Alternating Flat and Satin Paint Finishes To Create Stripes |

I tend to prefer vintage anyway, but I do appreciate modern design. For some reason that I can't quite put my finger on, these aren't doing it for me. Apartment Therapy San Francisco | Modern Globes at Rockett St. George |

My favorite candle in the world is the one that the Paris hotel, Hotel Costes sells. I stayed at the lower-cost sister hotel, Hotel Bourg Tibourg (in the Marais), and the Costes candles were burning constantly. The scent is complex and instantly evokes Paris for me. You can buy it online (google it). Unfortunately, it's about 100 US dollars. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Roundup: AT Readers' Favorite Candles |

I'd make it a cave, a cozy place to sleep or read with the bed placed in the center of the room. I'd hang floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall velvet drapes with art hanging in front of them. Top it off with a really dramatic chandelier. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Small Bedroom Decorating Ideas? |

I love this look so much. And you can cut up any large piece of art for a similar dramatic effect. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Look! Maps, Maps and More Maps |

Love it. It reminds me a bit of the RCA dog (Nipper). There's a photo in a photo tour I published of furniture designer, Andrew Stansell's loft. Apartment Therapy New York | Look!: Shifty-Eyed Puppy StatueBoston |
