I've recently started doing this in Chicago! So fun to do with friends while wandering the neighborhoods!

I have almost the same issue. It's bothered me for 4 years in my apartment. I would love to put up pics to see if anyone has a better option for me.

As a chicago resident I will also highly recommend talking to the locals. There are so so many unique neighborhoods to explore. I bartend at a hotel restaurant downtown and am more than happy to write down local favorites for anyone willing to get out of downtown. I love to send people up to my neighborhood to explore the great restaurants around Argyle, the bars and shops in Andersonville, and the Green Mill for some jazz at Al Capone's old stomping ground. metromix.com is another site to go on where you can see anything from street festivals, movies in the park, theatre, live music, etc etc. It lists day by day so a great planning tool. It really is an incredible city to explore.

I had a feeling i would see Gethsemane on here. I have spent many hours and dollars here. I love this place for the expertise, the variety, the inspiration and the beauty of it! If you visit here I highly recommend talking to Victoria! She is very passionate and full of ideas and information!

I knew before I even clicked on the 4th pic that it must be the work of Dolan! I worked him years ago! He is a very talented artist and I always had a great time working with him. I want the frenchie one so bad!!!!

While it is quite lovely and beautiful, I wouldn't want that at home. It just is too...clean. Living in Chicago I would expect to see this at a trendy club or restaurant. As much as I do love plants and flowers, I feel at this time in the world if we have a means to do so even if on a small scale, growing edibles is the way to go. I can't wait to see my edibles sprout and also the flowers I plant for bees. As nice as this looks it does nothing to awe me or make me crave being in this setting. Put some herbs or color in and I might like this.

hahaha...agree with you all! I got a frenchie 2 years ago at the beginning of december, so you pulled me in with the puppy. Then, like nonie said....the flower shop looks amazing. I'm also in Chicago. I can't wait to work on my garden again with the pup and have trips to Gethsamane together!

I have an old steal one. It looks like a card catalog at least. I dreamed as a makeup artist with TONS of product to organize of finding something with lots of little drawers that was actually nice and interesting to look at. When I saw my piece I was in love! Something like this is a dream come true for any creative person that has lots of little things to organize!!!

Great room! I actually have this pillow as well (target)! Love it in the babies room! I guess I'm just a big kid after all. It was too cute to pass up! I rather enjoy the inspiration from the "put a bird on it" episode!!!! Haha

I've kicked myself so many times for leaving my 2 chairs in the hallway when I moved out of my last building. If only I could get them back.

And all this time I've been blaming the cats, the dog and myself for not constantly cleaning. Glad to know it's not just me!
