About 70 miles north of Chicago stands the Racine Art Museum in downtown Racine. Back in May 2003, we were fortunate enough to be able to experience the first few days of the museum's open doors and ...
Seen at a local pub, this high-intensity decor decision is an inventive and low-budget solution for what to do with an underutilized cooler case and all those empties. We may not be able to replicate...
We regularly pass by this corner in our neighborhood, which is one that has seen a large amount of teardowns and extensive rebuilding to create large, luxurious single family homes. Someone has taken ...
Last night we hit the Museum of Science and Industry for the opening of Smart Home and a presentation in conjunction with The Glass Experience exhibit. After sitting through a fascinating and informa...
Jim and Kari shared their fantastic Evanston home with us back in November. Seems that CS Interiors was as impressed by the space as we ATers were. Jim and Kari were featured in the Spring issue of th...
One of our favorite parts of moving is organizing a new kitchen. Ours still has a long way to go, but we're glad we could reuse the shelf organizers from our old apartment in the new space. In fact,...
We look forward to the first weekend of every month here at AT Chicago. Why? Because it means the Kane County Flea Market! We went this past weekend... ...
While visiting our friendly neighborhood library the other day, we found quite a large book sticking out of a shelf. Upon closer examination, we were thrilled to see it was a book on Andy Warhol. I...
One of our future household makeover plans is to redo our boring bathroom (vinyl flooring + plastic shower/tub = ugh²). We’re always looking for inspiration and ideas on what to do -- and we l...
While many claim the modern wing or the Thorne Rooms as their favorite spots in the Art Institute of Chicago, we admit we’re quite fond of the Asian and Ancient Americas galleries. On a not so recen...
This was scary: during our kitchen renovation we tore out some walls. One wall is shared with our second bathroom on the other side, and we didn't realize that would mean rusty old razor blades flyin...
Now that we live in a larger place than ever, our pressing need for small space storage isn't quite the same. We are still trying to maintain a simple, organized, and efficient home life, though, and ...
Pocket doors are an old school small space solution, and they're a feature that we'll really miss when we move out of our current apartment. Besides allowing flexible arrangements of space, they're ...
We snuck in (with permission, of course) to the tent during the set up of Jayson Home & Garden's European Flea Market yesterday. The weekend long event starts today and is the culmination of an idea t...
Okay, so it doesn't have much to do with small space living and it's most likely PhotoShopped, but we had to post this photo......
The brief blooming season for cherry blossoms is nearing a close, so we're posting some pictures of these gorgeous flowers before they're all gone. We snapped these photos on our trip out West a lit...
The ongoing controversy over whether The Spindle stays or goes is wrapping up: the Spindle sculpture by Dustin Shuler is currently for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $50,000. See all details belo...
While browsing at Borders (and hoping to get a peek at the new AT book), we came across this colorful display of photo frames. All the fun patterns (florals and stripes and damask - oh my!) really li...
Our kitchen has come a long way in the last two months. We still have a long list of things to do, but the good news is we are now cooking regularly on our $99 South Bend six-burner range (yay, Craigs...
Normally we get our San Francisco fix by reading AT:SF, but last week we got to go in person. We stayed with friends, visited a few gardens, and took snapshots of our favorite details from the homes...
On a recent trip to IKEA, we almost walked right by this ingenious product because we didn't see it. What we did notice, however, was the floating chairs. KROKVIK chair hangers are brackets which mo...
Our friend Mike's bedroom has a fireplace (we're so jealous!) but no closet space. To make up for the lack of storage, he modified the built-in cabinets that flank the hearth... ...
Our space isn't small, but we do have a few issues that you sometimes find in a small apartment: tiny bedrooms, not much storage, and lack of closet space. Click below to see how we applied what we'...
Freestanding stone basin in bathroomWe certainly hope Kanye West's apartment feels a little more lived in these days. These renderings show the minimalist space as it was nearly completed back in Jan....
