We really love the Reader's annual "Nest" issue - we blogged it last year, and are happy to see it come around again. This time, it features five ever-changing Chicago homes - very interesting and super personal.

"The Professionals" is by far my favorite. Nice detailing, clean lines, good storage solutions, accommodates their son.

rierei, do you live here?
i've never once been on the train where there are no black/asian/hispanic people. it is a bit odd that out of six homes all the people are white.
The daughter's doll isn't white
why isnt any1 commenting on that creepy picture of the topless little girl?
I was just thinking that SD913. That creeps me out beyond belief. Wrong on so many levels; and only one is design related.
