apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Chicago's first live house tour party last Friday was a perfect way to bring ideas of entertaining, community, and solutions to design dilemmas to life this month. While we await Evan's (AT:Chicago photographer extraordinaire) slideshow recap of the evening in images, we are just as eager to see how our readers are celebrating in December. What happens to your home as it fills up with guests? Anyone embarking on your first holiday gathering or continuing with longstanding traditions? We would love to see some photos and hear some stories. Send them in (or tag with apartmenttherapychicago in Flickr). Table settings, furniture rearrangements for easier entertaining, holiday decor...we want to see it all. And of course, your questions are always welcome!
