Finally... I think I'm back in my cooking/baking groove now that we've been settled in and even entertained for the first time in our new place! We've been northsiders of the city for several years and we decided to move into downtown this past Wednesday, April 1st. For those that know me, it's no surprise that I'd have everything in it's place within a day after our move. Besides, I don't want to waste any time in enjoying our new home as soon as possible!
Here are the much awaited pics of our new place in downtown Chicago... and if you ever happen to find yourself visiting our favorite city in the world, please let us know as we'd love to have you over!
Congrats on your new place! Your views are awesome and I love the openness from your island to the living room.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW Joelen! It's fabulous! I'm so happy for you. It that Lakeview? I think that's where Sammy Sosa used to live ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, Joelen! It's gorgeous! I love your decor and all! I have to say, though, if it was me living there, I would be sitting on the master bedroom window sill looking down at the city all day! :)
ReplyDeleteThat view is amazing! congrats on the new place!
ReplyDeleteJoelen! Your new home is beautiful and your views are spectacular. Chicago is one of my favorite places - I will admit it, I'm totally jealous! ;) Enjoy your new home.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever win the lottery I want to get a small place in downtown Seattle so that we can go down for a night and not have to worry about the long drive home.
AMAZING - those views are priceless!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I can't believe how quickly you're settled. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new home Joelen!
ReplyDeleteYou're a super-duper unpacker!!!! Geesh! I love how it looks like you've been living there for years already!!!!!!!!!! Love the bookshelf of cookbooks, and your new set-up for your entertainment dishes is calling you to be used! Congrats again, there will be many great dinners here!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Joelen! I love it. Congratulations and enjoy your new place! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you have GOT to be kidding me!! An unobstructed view of Buckingham Fountain? And at the perfect time, when Daley needed to impress the IOC. Not many places to get a view like that.... knock me over with a feather. I need to become a chef.
ReplyDeleteWe've been looking for a new place too, and have started looking at some townhomes in Lincoln Park.. I just can't figure out how I can downsize from a 3 bedroom apartment in West Ridge to a two bedroom townhome in LP! But I can understand wanting to be in the midst of things.
I'm drooling just imagining the nighttime view. I don't think I could ever leave my apartment, I would just be watching the city go by!!
It's absolutely beautiful! I love your view and everything is decorated so wonderfully! You are very talented! I love your couch and the book shelf with all of the dishes! Everything looks great and I am so impressed you already have everything unpacked and in it's place!
ReplyDeleteGreat new place and wonderful views! My husband and I lived in Hyde Park while he attended UofChicago. What we wouldn't give to live in the Windy City again! Sigh . . .
ReplyDeleteWow! The views are stunning!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new place! What great views!! I will be in Chicago in July - hopefully we can meet!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing views!
ReplyDeleteI like to have my new places set up right away, too. We unpacked in record time in this new apartment.
We may be taking a vacation to Chicago later this year--if we do we should try to get together for a bite or something!
