Good Morning Monday: Chi-Town Shoutout
Today's Good Morning Monday shoutout goes out to former Chicagoan's Jess Lively's old apartment in Chicago. That wallpaper! Those sconces! Don't you just want to stay in that bed all morning, lounging and reading design books? (Click the image for the full tour featured on Pretty Fluffy). Good thing beautiful Lake Michigan is just a block away, and most likely an Intelligentsia Coffee, so there are some incentives to get up.
I'm missing The Windy City something fierce already. While I'm catching my breath (toddler travel!) and piecing together my thoughts + photos for a follow up blog, I wanted to share with you a few of my favs from the amazing Chi-Town design and blogging community. I knew I would love this city, but I didn't realize how jam-packed it is with art, architecture, history and culture. It's brimming with serious drool-worthy inspo. So, sip your Monday AM Blues away and enjoy!
