Burnham Pavilions in Millennium Park

Two pavilions which should become a tribute of memory Daniel Burnham which will note 100-year-old anniversary, have opened in Millennium Park (Chicago). Designers — two modern legends: Ben van Berkel and Zaha Hadid. Though, pavilion Zaha Hadid has been left unfinished, but pavilion opening even in a semikind has received the good criticism: “the Aluminium design of pavilion bewitches, to crowd has very much liked”, — has told Sallie Gaines, the press-secretary of action.

Expecting pavilion Zaha Hadid opening, it is possible to receive now already aesthetic pleasure from the second work, pavilion Ben van Berkel. It consists of two parallel panels, a roof and a floor, connected by three support. The pavilion will be highlighted especially at night.

To receive the maximum impressions, you need to walk very quickly on pavilion.

okay, Ikea

oh, did I forget to tell you that last week I visited the largest Ikea in the US? well, I did. and I survived to tell the tale.

it was actually totally manageable, but the fact that we showed up at 10:30am on a Thursday probably had something to do with it...I emerged without buying anything (it was more of a trip for my boyfriend's apartment), but I now have a tidy little list for our next mid-week trip. I want to get more plates and bowls (plain white everything) so that I can host bigger dinner parties, more glasses (these make awesome shot glasses and are perfect for sake), some of these rad tumblers for all the cold-weather beverages I plan on drinking, cheap plants (which they sell many varieties of for like $1.75 in the store), those 50 cent kitchen dishtowels with the red stripe, and surprisingly....bath towels?

normally I'm kind of a snob when it comes to towels...the cheap ones never really absorb water properly and they always get snags. to me, its worth it to spend the money on Ralph Lauren or something equally as middle/high end, because it's gonna last longer. but the Baven series was actually really nice! I almost bought one to try at home, cause that's when you really know if it's worth it, but I'll do it next time. I furthered my surprise by really liking the Baven bathmats (don't care for bathmats in general) and-- here comes the shock of the century-- I'm considering getting one in green. the vibrant colors are pleasantly rich and I'm tempted to stray from my white-towels-only rule and go wild with a kelly bathmat.

what can I say, Ikea makes people do crazy things.

oh, I also liked this new wool blanket, but I can't find it on the site.

chicago is my kind of town

you guys, I'm going back to Chicago tomorrow (for good!) and I am SO excited. possibly even more excited than I am to go to Costa Rica. okay, hmm...not so sure about that.
in light of my return, I thought I'd post a little tour of my friends' lovely Ukrainian Village two bedroom apartment. it's well-styled, got tons of character, and it's up for grabs!! they're moving out and heading to Logan Square, so if you are in the market for a charming place to call home, this just might be it.

oh and did I mention the perfect porch that sits just above the tree-lined street? this is exactly where I spent my first 4th of July in Chicago...I sat on the edge, drinking champagne out of the bottle, and watching fireworks go off all over the city. it was heaven.


it boasts loads of original charm (leaded glass windows, built-in hutches and dressers, walk-in closets, black and white tiled bathroom, bay window, swinging kitchen door, hardwood floors, stained glass, two stoves, back porch, etc) and the heat is included in the rent!! and all of this for the very reasonable price of $1575! get in touch with Shelby ASAP, this little beauty is gonna go fast!
