We know you love design. We know you have great ideas. We know you take pictures. We'd love to see them and show them off.
If you tag your photos in flickr, we can find you!
Heather and I will start doing searches in flickr based on the tag apartmenttherapychicago. We'll pull great photos from our searches to build posts for AT:Chicago. Whenever you upload something you'd like to share with us, just pop in the tag.
Our goal is to create a local repository of images showing how we live here in Chicago. We plan to start searching and posting the goods ASAP, so if you have something up on flickr already that you'd like to show us (and the world...) go ahead and add the tag apartmenttherapychicago. It's your way of letting the AT Editors know that we can go ahead and blog your brilliance.
What we'd love to see (a quick, partial list):
Favorite rooms (or rooms on their way to being favorites)
Space saving solutions
DIY projects!!!
Art and Design (your work or something you've collected)
New purchases (we love bargains as well as major buys!)
Dinner party table setting pix (menu/music in the comments)
The stuff you have stuck on your fridge
An organized workspace (or drawer, or closet)
Your favorite piece of furniture
A collection
Things you see around town that inspire you to make your home more beautiful, organized and healthy
Put any info you'd like us to know in the comments section of the photos - the more details the better!
Surprise and inspire us! Keep in mind: Our Mission at AT is to help people make their homes more beautiful, organized and healthy. We'll be looking for photos that help us to do that (plus we think it sounds like fun!).
It's simple: upload your photos to flickr and tag it with apartmenttherapychicago. Yup, all one word: apartmenttherapychicago
As flickr users know, tags are like a keyword or category label. Tags help you find photos which have something in common. You can assign as many tags as you wish to each photo. We uploaded and tagged some of our photos (the test run) here.
Questions? Ask below in the comments or email us at chicago(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com.
Thanks! We'll be searching and blogging the best of what we find...
you're on, Janel! woohoo!
what an awesome idea!!!! this will be a fun project since i've been going crazy being cooped up inside due to the heat.
Are you still interested, even if you don't live in Chicago or even Illinois, for that matter?
Hey guys - I've got my photos set so that you can only blog the image if you are a contact, so also let us know where we can find you so that we can add you as a contact (and find out when you post the latest ATchi stuff too!)
thanks,
Rob

thanks!
brilliant! if only i can get my house tidy enough for a picture. ;P
Great! I'm in.
err, do you really want that period on the end of our apartmenttherapychicago flickr tags?
Judy,
No, those are just punctuation at the end of the sentences.
The tag should just be:
aparmenttherapychicago
