Print making.

The summer in Chicago has been completely absurd- hot, humid and full of mosquitos.  I took off for a quick trip to Brooklyn, NY this past weekend to visit my brother and eight months pregnant sister-in-law hoping for a change of climate.  Well, it was pretty hot there also, but my bro and sis-in-laws place brought on a cool summer vibe.  Two items in particular gave me fever: Their Roberta Freymann/Roller Rabbit quilt and the Madeline Weinrib cotton rug we purchased together at ABC Carpet and Home.

The Quilt: Perfect weight, fantastic print and the softest cotton you could ever hope to touch...or sleep under.  I don't have a photo of their exact print, the website has just a small selection of their offerings, so if you're lucky enough to live in the Hamptons or NYC you'll get the best selection.  Click here for the site.

The Rug: Unique, low maintenance and reletively inexpensive.  It also happens to look amazing on their painted wood floor.  Click here for Madeline Weinrib's site and here for ABC Carpet and Home.
