Paper Boy
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Valentine's Day is sneaking up...Are you ready? So we're not poets but we do love hand-written sentiments. If you haven't checked out the Lakeview gem called Pape...

Uncle Fun
Uncle Fun is not (just) a toy store. Walking into this shop is like walking into an 8-year-old's garage sale (if that 8-year-old was actually 33, with a discriminating eye for kitsch and an obsessi...
Sam & Willy's: A Bow Meow Boutique
The thing that stands out about Sam & Willy's is the pet photobooth. Since we don't have a pet, we're not sure: is this a specialty thing or a common trend among pet stores? Either way, it looks like ...
Urban Artifacts
Urban Artifacts is located on Lincoln Avenue. A small storefront, it was filled to the rafters (literally - see the photo above) with interesting finds when we stopped in last weekend....
Rubin's
We've been hearing about Rubin's since before it opened. Kathryn tipped us off that a mysterious "modern-looking" furniture shop was opening up on Lincoln. Since then we've gotten an email or two fro...
At Home
At Home is a nearly two year old vintage furnishings shop in Lakeview. We stopped in and took a few photos this past weekend. Owner Kerry Delaney does all the buying for the shop, picking vintage a...
Community Home Supply
A great resource, Community Home Supply is an extensive showroom of bath and kitchen goods. This is often the first stop on the list for Chicagoans considering a bathroom or kitchen renovation. The...
Home Carpet One
Carpets and flooring are a big deal - and a big investment. Even buying a small area rug is a big deal for us; we just want things to last and to not get sick of something too quickly. We've seen Ho...
DvA Gallery
DvA Gallery bears the intials of it's owner, artist David van Alphen. The shop's tagline: Your source for Modern Pop and Illustration Art. From the site: "David van Alphen believes that art should b...
My Place for Tea
We love tea, and we love this place for tea, teapots, and tea tastings. My Place for Tea is a Lakeview staple for a larger selection of teas than your Argo can offer, as well as owner knowledge (Enric...
Lake Shore Upholstery
Today we recommended Lake Shore Upholstery on a reader's question about where to go for a project with the customer's own materials. Our first experience with Lake Shore Upholstery (sorry, no web pres...
Monarch's Heaven
This season is as much about scents as it is about sights and tastes. Monarch's Heaven in Lakeview is a spot filled with candles, candles, and more candles. The selection, both online and in-person, i...
Twosided
Run by the same folks as Foursided (proprietor and artist Todd Mack), Twosided is a great little spot to go for custom cards and an array of unique gift ideas, both modern and antique. Calling the s...
Foursided
Foursided recently opened its second location in Andersonville, for all of your custom framing needs. The original Lakeview spot is still alive and kicking, too, and a great place to keep in mind for ...
Kafka Wine Co.
We love an evening at home with a good bottle of wine. And so, we have been doing a bit of digging to find the most fantastic wine shops in Chicago. Kafka is one. With over 250 wines under $15, the sh...
re. Revival
We hear people mention little things about Revival often. While we have loved the shop for a while now, we were happy to get a reminder of its brilliance from reader Danny (look for his latest Revival...
Intaglia
The thing about Intaglia that stands out to us the most is the ever-changing window displays. We've walked by the store hundreds of times on our way to work over a couple years, but never stopped in f...
Sappano's Hi-Grade Decorating Centers
Paint - you can buy it from small hardware shops (ok...) to giant home warehouse stores (no thanks). We figure we'll buy it from a family owned paint store - makes sense, right? These guys know what...
I.D.
I.D. houses eyeglasses and modern home goods all in one place. This emphasis on the visual and functional makes perfect sense for a place called I.D., focusing on the ways we see (and what we use t...
