Pillow Covers / Glasses / Storage Baskets / Napkins / Curtains / Nesting Baskets / Ceramic Frame / Floating Shelves / Flush Mount / Wipeable Placemats / Marble Frame / Acrylic Frames / Ring Dish / Rug / Bath Mat (More Bath Mats!) / Lamp / Shower Curtain Can you guys tell I tried to fit as much as technologically possible in this collage? There’s just SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. It feels like brands are trying to drive revenue by just adding scallops to everything and it’s great. (Also, the first piece of furniture I’ve ever flipped has them too!) Almost everything I found is somehow under $40 and ..read more

All materials used // Lucy’s room details So I found this scalloped nightstand on Facebook Marketplace for $50, and I knew it was the perfect piece for trying my hand at furniture refinishing—something I’ve been wanting to get into for a while! The nightstand had some damage, but instead of repainting, I decided to try to bring it back to natural wood with this orange Citri Strip goo. I left it on for a few hours and then the paint basically slid off. I used mineral spirits to wash it off, steel wool to get any remaining paint, and then tack cloth to remove that residue. Then I geared up t ..read more

Mitch here! Like most, we’re always looking for ways to make our home more functional. And without question, the most underused—and disastrous—part of our home was long the garage. We’re not really car people so last year I found myself daydreaming about turning it into a multifunctional space— a garage, yes, but also a studio where I could spend time on woodworking; Kelly could refinish her Marketplace furniture finds; and the girls could craft, exercise and put on dancing/singing shows. And I’m very happy to report that I did just that, with the help of Modular Closets! The before ..read more

I took advantage as we didn’t have gear down in Rosemary, and I cried happy tears when the setup arrived. Poor Mitch, yes, but let’s be serious ..read more

Navy Sweater Jacket / Cable-Knit Tank / Jeans / Sneakers Here’s the thing about spring in Chicago: It doesn’t exist. Not in the sense that we normally think about spring, at least. Kurt Vonnegut once asserted that there are six seasons, not four—and he described March and April as not part of spring, but rather “Unlocking.” (Read the excerpt here for his full explanation! It’s great.) Since reading that, I no longer hate this time of year. And I no longer dress like it’s actual spring, which is May and June. So how does one dress for Unlocking/Pre-Spring in Chicago? Not in sun dresses and o ..read more
