South Side Factory to Home Conversion:
Chicago Home + Garden May/June 2008

050908southside1.jpgThe May/June issue of Chicago Home + Garden covers a lot of the things we love: Michelle Kaufmann's Smart Home, local designer updates (Hillary Estes), product themes and colorful summer ideas. Of the biggest to interest to us, as always, are the local homes. Highlighted in this issue is a south side old soda pop factory that is now a fascinating house:

I love the architectural detail of barrel truss roofs -- I'd love to convert a building with one into a home like they did here.
