This giveaway is no longer accepting entries. Congratulations to Emily Layne, and thank you to everyone who entered! Lately, we’d been hearing a buzz around the customizable sofa retailer Interior Define, so we were definitely intrigued (and super excited) when they sent us a personal invite to their newest home base and Guideshop here in […]

Driving Route 66: I of III
We’re sharing our 2,500+ mile road trip down Route 66 from Chicago to LA. See Part II and Part III! I feel like we’ve been gone a thousand years, and yet, not long enough. We returned from our Route 66 adventure Sunday evening, and we promptly squeezed, smooshed and kissed every animal face in this house. We’ve been playing […]
Chicago + Chairish + $100
With those backwards steps we took in our funny little nook, we’ve been on the hunt for the perfect reading chair. Comfortable. Cushy. Curl-up-able. I’ve been keeping my eyes wide open and shooting Scott links when “I’ve found The One!,” only to read through reviews and see that it’s too stiff, too tiny or too […]
The (Week and) Week’s End
It’s been far too long since I’ve photographed our weekend (or in this case, our week, too!), and with our friend Kalli visiting from Los Angeles this past week, it was the perfect reason to get back into the habit. Well, that, and the warm weather we’ve been having! It’s always so good to see […]
The Week’s End
For the last handful of years around Christmas, we play a game of tourists in the city; we book a hotel downtown for a weekend, and we do whatever we’d like, whenever we’d like. We walked slowly, with no rush or reason to speed past others on the city sidewalks, we hopped in and out […]
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 […]
Reader Q+A, Take 2: Our Home(town)
Yesterday we got personal, so let’s spend today talking about… stuff. Home stuff. City stuff. This town that we love so, so much. Here’s what you’ve asked, and here’s what we have to say: How do you budget for your home projects? Flea market finds? Surprise purchases? SCOTT: We don’t exactly budget, but we do […]
The Week’s End, Part 2 of 2
After dining, visiting and sightseeing (what felt like) all of Chicago in our first weekend-half, we slowed down for half two. We cooked at home. We played games with friends. We ate cake! Scott gave us a tour of his semi-secret bike park, and we walked through our neighborhood, pointing out where we like to […]
The Week’s End, Part 1 of 2
There were no rules this weekend. It was an extra long one, with our Portland doppelgangers (more about them right here), Julie and Brian, coming in for a birthday (Brian’s) extravaganza. I jokingly made a (loose) itinerary – so necessary when out-of-towners have just 4 days to do as much as possible in a city […]
No Foolin’
The weather in Chicago warmed up so fast and suddenly this weekend, that no one knew what to wear. Seriously, it’s this time of year that gets weird, and nothing in your wardrobe seems to make sense anymore. While running errands the last couple of days (basically every task we’ve put off in the last […]
