btw Medusa- the Masonic Temple on Sheridan is clearly commercial...but you'd love the architecture!

Medusa no Ovaries needed (yet!) but will keep you posted if and/when I should need one-but thanks! I'm glad you like the house as much as we do.

If you are seriously in the market, you should look at realtor.com in waukegan. You'd be surprised to see what's available including this amazing 20's Masonic Temple on Sheridan for sale...gorgeous!

The four poster bed is from DWR (go figure) but it was discontinued :(. I think Room and Board sells one that is very similar.

As for ghosts, it's all in the mind...

Oh, btw, Erinpearce...hello neighbor!

Sally Ann, as my husband calls (Salvation Army) on Grand is huge and they get some northshore leftovers!

But I have found some great pieces at the Thrift store accross the street from Sally Ann on grand (north side of grand). and the Goodwill in Mundelein...another Northshore leftover spot.

Let me know if you know of others-) Paola

you guys are so sweet histerical-thanks for the comments!
no ovaries, lungs and/or spleens please!

I did hear a womans voice in the middle of the night when we first moved in- but haven't heard a peep for a while.

Honestly, I think the Ghosts got bored and took off!

Thanks for your comments guys!
you'd be surprised the homes available in waukegan!

To be honest, coming from a 900 sf city condo...it took us (including our 2 Dauschunds) a few weeks to get used to the space.

mschatelaine: that industrial building in Belgium is amazing...and yes, our next project will be to rip up all the flooring in the first floor and do white polished concerete to highlight the architecture of the space.
