We firmly believe that travel is always worthwhile - worth the cost, the time and all the preparation. It's a treat and a privilege to get away from home, see new things and have some adventures. That said, there are quite a few chores that have to get taken care of at home before you can hit the road - here is our quick list:
We always feel so inspired after visiting The Selby. The photographs and the untold stories presented there are so great! Recently, more inspiration came via Emma Balfour's home. The tour featured several snapshots Emma's children's rooms. Bruno and Elliot's rooms feature great shelving with plenty of storage for their books and toys, simple furniture and plenty of colorful artwork created by them....

Jasmine is looking for some color feedback. She writes: I need some color inspiration or suggestions for painting my front door & window shutters. We just moved in last summer, and I don't like the dark pink paint the previous owners chose. The siding is a light sand color & the roof is grey... Not much I can do about those ( I am definitely not going to paint the siding). I am drawing a blank on the color(s) I should use for the door & shutters. I want something thats NOT "ordinary" and "traditional"...

Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: I always wanted to have my own little bit of land here in the city. When I finally found my house it came with a large sized yard (bigger than a normal city lot). I actually get to enjoy the outdoors whether on the patio with family and friends or out in the garden working my mojo trying to keep it all going strong.

Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: I was fortunate that my loft has a 200 sq foot private deck with a great view of downtown Chicago. Unfortunately, the deck also had no privacy, east-facing sun and lots of wind. I wanted to improve the space so that it can be enjoyed more often during that brief window of time we call "summer".
