The Favorite Rooms of Six Chicagoans
Chicago Reader Nest Issue
Here are three that we enjoyed - be sure to click on over to (or pick up the paper copy of) the Reader to check out the full article and all the photos.
Shown above, left to right:
1. Christen Carter of Busy Beaver Button Company - Her favorite room is the kitchen of her 1912 apartment, located on the top floor of a two flat in Palmer Square. (And, yes! Were' working on scheduling an upcoming "house tour" for Apartment Therapy)
2. Brad Lynch, Architect - His favorite room is the "one big room" where he and his family "do most of their living". It is part of the home Lynch designed for his family two years ago which replaced the bungalow they had lived in since 1990.
3. Virginia Heaven, Professor - Her favorite room is the high-ceiling living room of her Rogers Park vintage condo decorated in a wonderfully decorative eclectic style.

Christen... really well done. For me, the 2 ceiling lights really tie it together. Oh, and the lap kitty ads, too.
Brad, this is my kind of place... just awesome. What about a tidbit somewhere in red or purple... a hand sized object maybe? Gorgeous. Cool, but livable.
Virginia, while not my style, this is put together so well. That table really makes it for me. Really nice :-)

Like the post, abhor the punctuation. Where's the editor?

The only thing cooler than Virginia Heaven's living room is Virginia Heaven's name.

Pic #3. The arches, the windows, the ceiling ... EVERYTHING in there is just amazing. Even more amazing is that it's a CONDO!
