Big Ideas, Small Places

With living in an older Chicago apartment building, the rooms are not quite as big as I would like. Overall the space is plenty for what we need, but I have to be creative at times to make my furniture fit. I love finding ways to take advantage of the small amount of space I have without looking cluttered. I am sure everyone has somewhere in their home that is just a little too quirky to make the most of it.

An Outdoor Paradise

I have been searching for a perfect outdoor patio set to fit on my small backyard deck. By small I mean 4ft x 8 ft. So it has been a tough search, especially since ideally we would like to keep our grill on the deck also. My real dream would be to have a rooftop patio with a ton of room to fit an outdoor sofa and garden! One of the websites I love, All Modern, has an amazing selection of outdoor furniture, and pretty much anything else you need for your home. It is a one-stop shop! 

I love these candles

What a peaceful place to take a nap...

Enjoy the rest of your week! Perhaps one day will be spent on a relaxing chaise...
