It’s a traveling day today and your k+o ladies are spread all over the country, working hard to get home to the windy city.
While we’re braving crowded airports and sweaty subways, take a moment to look deeper into Jan’s Oak Park home (remember…we staged it for a home tour…) Tate from Strange Closets took some amazing pics the morning of the tour and recently posted them on his blog. Check it out!

Jan and Peter had great furniture pieces but it lacked it a little zing. Layering art and personal items (hello family photos, VW bug toys and magazine clippings) into each space transformed their home into a beautiful comfy unique space. Design ‘rules’ be damned!

So today I challenge you…find your own uniqueness. Do you collect tea tins or geodes or ceramic dragons? Put it on display! Have beat-up family photos moldering in a shoe box? Get’ em out! Is there a big piece plywood in your garage? Make some art! Paint that junk!

Express yourself in your home!
