Chicago is a WONDERFUL city and I have loved living here! I grew up in Michigan and have visited many other cities around the U.S.

Most of my friends and colleagues also have wonderful things to say about Chicago.

It's a beautiful city (green space and architecture). Relative to many other large cities, the people are warm and friendly. There's a great job market for folks with advanced degrees.

We have an amazing ivy-league like university (University of Chicago), as well as several other STELLAR colleges and universities.

Arts and culture is very strong here and there are fabulous restaurants.

The weather is intense, yes, but downtown is beautiful at any time of year.

I highly recommend living here. If we leave the city, it will only be for a lower cost of living and to closer to our family.

Beautiful! Beth- Do you mind sharing what paint brand/colors you used? I am particularly interested in the melon and turqouise rooms.

That is a great magazine. Regarding that apartment with the painted Pier One screen behind the bed:

I have that issue of the magazine. The other rooms in that apartment are painted a shade of periwinkle or royal blue. I have been trying for MONTHS to figure out which shade of blue paint is on the walls in that apartment. If anyone knows, please comment. Thank you!

Yes, this whole GOOP thing is incredibly pretentious, presumptuous and self-indulgent.

Definitely red- like a cranberry shade. Orange and Lavender are also good ideas, but I like the warmth and boldness of red against the rich brown sofas and cool-colored walls.

I am obsessed with the paint color in the dining room. The designer said it was a Martha Stewart color but I can't seem to find/match it! Does anyone know?
