evolution of hillary's apartment part 2

God love my husband! I seriously love his guts. After the big weekend of the Lauritzen Gardens Antique and Garden Show, Hillary and I flew to Chicago to finish her move. My adorable husband packed up his SUV with all the big stuff we didn't ship, and drove to the Hancock building where we awaited impatiently.

These charming wood panels that have been stored in my basement for years, waiting for the right place to be hung. It's here!

The mirror from my patio that swung around too much in windy weather and made us cringe. It's perfect here!

(Also take note of the bees from the Antique Show...)

I can't possibly tell you the satisfaction of leaving my child in an apartment that I myself would love to live in. What a blast to be 23 and living in Chicago in the cutest apartment ever...

So happy for her and can't wait for her to move back to Omaha :)
