Our block held a huge multi-family yard sale a few weekends ago, and besides purging our little hearts out and having an all around blast with our neighbors (day drinking, pizza and sunshine? Yes, please!), we had the chance to meet familiar faces from around the ‘hood. Think: Oh, you’re the mom of the brindle […]

Loving: Portland
We first met Portlanders Julie and Brian last summer when we stayed at le Hotel Chuckleberry (their rescued Pittie) during our Northwest adventure. Yes, that’s right – we didn’t meet them until we slept in their spare room (and recently, they stayed with us!). Fortunately, the stars aligned, we became a fearsome foursome, and we […]
Loving: San Francisco
Last year, our newly engaged friends Rex and Cat packed up their Chicago apartment and moved across the country to San Francisco. I cried, Cat cried, and Rex and Scott shared a hug (but I like to think they were crying inside, obvs). We couldn’t be happier for their new adventure, but man, we miss […]
Loving: Chicago
Just like us, Meg lives in Chicago (Logan Square, too!) and writes about crafts, home, DIY and, in her words, sh*t that anyone can do (and we appreciate that). You can find her at Radical Possibility, but really, you should start with her recent side table makeover. Ahh-mazing. I have many friends who live outside […]
Loving: Brooklyn
Hailing from Brooklyn, Jodi is one of those girls that I was lucky enough to meet in person through the big, bad blogosphere. (A quick email exchange, and a noon lunch date was in the works!) After a too-short lunch, I confirmed that, yes – yes, she’s awesome. You can find Jodi on her blog, […]
Loving: Kalamazoo
Rob is our younger brother (well, Scott’s brother) and a chef in Kalamazoo, Michigan. We crave his food (it’s the world’s greatest, FYI), so it’s only a bummer that he doesn’t live in Chicago with us – you know, to cook us dinner every night. Luckily, he’s sharing some of his top tips (using local […]
Loving: A St. Louis Firehouse
Heather and Aaron, together with their Great Dane Mojo, live in St. Louis (by way of Kansas City) – and they just bought a firehouse. A Firehouse! They’ll tell you all about it on their blog, A Fire Pole in the Dining Room (you’ll be hooked!), but how about a bit of an introduction from […]
Loving: Cincinnati
I’ve known Jillian since we were both 5 years old, and she’s probably the one girl that ‘gets’ me in every way, inside and out. Now, she’s raising her family in Cincinnati (our good ol’ former stomping grounds!), a city she compares to her favorite old book. She’s right on; we couldn’t agree more. Like […]
Loving: Spanish Fork
Julia is the blogger (and amazing artist) behind Chris Loves Julia, finding herself saying goodbye to Spanish Fork, Utah. We first bonded over our shared love of a studio place to call our own, and now, we’ll both be starting from scratch – again. (But isn’t that a DIY lovers dream anyway?) We live an […]
Loving: Los Angeles
While we’re knee deep in boxes and just-moved-bliss, my best girl from our college days (and roommate until I took the leap to move in with Scott!), Kalli, is kicking off the ‘love’ week with a tour of her city, Los Angeles. I live in Los Angeles and sometimes don’t use my car for days. […]
