This weekend my lovely cohort is moving here — Frank Lloyd Wright’s Arthur B. Heurtley house.  Andrew and I have toured Falling Water and his House and Studio in Oak Park, but I could have never imagined being able to spend the night and throw parties in one.  I studied a lot of architecture in school and was always drawn to van der Rohe’s simplicity. And, while I am not one for ornate decoration, Wright really changed the game for me.  It is all very subtle, nature inspired wood cuts, and who doesn’t love a good wood cut?  I also love the fact that Wright designed every detail.  Furniture fit for his houses, every corner, every inch.  So self-aggrandized that nothing could ever be moved or changed.
Next weekend, I am sleeping over and we are jetsetting in the morning to the Kane County Flea Market.

Welcome!

This is a blog of Jenny and Andrew's adventures in the city. We live in Albany Park, Chicago, Illinois, and have decided to plot out and document our adventures. This blog was started Memorial Day, 2010 as a way to document our summer goals.
