Hey I clicked over from AT! Is that an IKEA bed in your master? I've had my eye on it - but had read you couldn't use box spring with it. And I LOVE the way a high bed looks - exactly like yours! Are you using a box spring with it??
hey! I also clicked over from AT - what a great place! Where's your bedding from?
Thanks for visiting!!! Sarah, yes, the bed in the master is from IKEA. It's REALLY tall with the box spring, but I hadn't read that it wasn't made for a traditional American mattress set!! I don't want to shed a good boxspring for a $129 bed frame and don't have anywhere to store it - so I made it work. If you like the way it looks high (I do) and aren't afraid of heights - go for it!!!
TWS, the quilted bedding in the master is from Urban Outfitters. I fell in love with an Anthro quilt and couldn't afford it - but Urban, Anthro's little sister, was more affordable!!
Thanks, Emily! I only read that from buyer reviews, so it wasn't instruction from IKEA or anything. Yay, I'm so glad I saw your post, I'm now going to go grab that bed!!
hellooo! i also stumbled over from AT. can i just say that i love love love your home? i am a chicagoan, born and raised, and moved to dallas 3 years ago after graduating from UIUC, and am counting the days until i move back. i can only hope that my future place looks as awesome as yours!
i've been reading your blog all morning. it's great! i bet we'd be great friends if we knew each other in person. you've inspired me to try to start blogging again. keep being awesome!!!!
cheers,

I too clicked over from AT. Your blog and home are so cute! I love that lamp (with the silver base) in your living room. Where did you find it? I've been on a hunt for months now!
Angela, thank you!!! You're too sweet! I love Chicago, too and so glad you've enjoyed reading my blog!!
Melissa, actually all my floor and table lamps and lamp shades are from Target. I always look other places and never find lamps as cute and inexpensive as good old Tar-geh!! The one you described was on clearance last year, but wouldn't hurt to look I guess. It came with a navy drum shade (that's on a milk glass lamp at my office now)!
Hi Emily! Thanks for answering :) I was afraid that you might say that. I saw it on clearance too and stood in the aisle waivering for about 25 minutes. I walked away and have been kicking myself ever since! I tried to go back soon after but they were sold out. I'll keep looking though!
Hello! I am an avid reader of Apartment therapy and I have just come across your lovely blog and home!
Wow!
I'm off for a better look!
