Our Trip To Chicago: Restoration Hardware

Happy Friday all!  The word "Friday" sounds so good..doesn't it?

I was supposed to have a guest blogger here today but we decided to switch because their schedule got so busy..so I promise you will be hearing from them soon : )

I am continuing our trip to one of the stores I drool over all the time.. Restoration Hardware.  I have to say the one in Lincoln Park is my favorite.  You actually feel like you are walking through their catalogue.

We took a lot of pics but here is just a taste : )

It was more beautiful in person than in the magazine.  I also didn't realize how much volume the pieces had.  I have in mind a couple of pieces for my own home...hmm

If you ever have a chance to go make a trip to the Lincoln Park one..you won't want to leave.

Happy Mother's Day! 

Here's a pic of my beautiful mom and dad on their wedding day.

Our Trip To Chicago: Crate and Barrel

Hello, everyone!  Hope this is a great Monday for all of you.  It's bright and sunny here and my husband and I are planning on working on our backyard today.  Yes, more spring cleaning : )

I wanted to continue about our trip to Chicago.  Let's make our way down to Crate and Barrel.  I have found the location I like the most is in Lincoln Park.  The store has more character and they offer a lot more merchandise.

The glasses and pitcher Corey and I fell in love with.  They are made from 100% recycled glass and heavy.  I don't know about you but I hate when glasses are really thin and breakable.

He wants to get some : )

These two sofas I adore..

Love the clean lines and the white leather.

I have no other word to describe this than "hot".  The color, the shape and it's wow factor.  I could see this with an ecclectic, cottage, beach house style.  

Modern organic.  Simple and gorgeous.

The metal wrapped table and chairs. 

It doesn't look like it but those chairs are very comfortable.

Last one..

The color is like gun metal with an aged look.

Btw..we did get some of those glasses : )

Stay tuned.. Friday guest blogger and on Monday more of my trip to Chicago
