Ultimate juxtaposition

I was completely taken aback by the fabulous finds at my neighborhood's own Architectural Artifacts, Inc., when I popped in yesterday as I was checking out the Ravenswood Art Walk. Take a peek at some of these incredible, and incredibly odd, finds!

Visit them in person at 4325 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, or online at http://www.architecturalartifacts.com/

Dine unexpectedly

CB2 has the cutest and most-memorable dining set-ups right now -- some industrial, some modern bistro, some rustic Euro. All give a fresh look at breaking bread with family and friends, be it in private pairs or party settings.
