After taking down the Christmas decor I decided to start the change up a few things that were easy peasy.

I flip flopped my bedroom drapes with the living room drapes. These are not as fufu for the living room space. |

Abby eating her granola bar on the train going into the city. These pictures were all taken on my Iphone so sorry for the quality. I did not think to grab my camera before leaving the house. |

It was an absolutely beautiful day to walk around the city. This is a picture of the Chicago River. It felt like Spring with the temps being in the low 50's. |

Abby traveling in style. I wanted a turn at being pushed through the city in the minnie mouse stroller!!!! |

It is always so much fun in the city of Chicago. On every corner you will find entertainment. This statue came to life and danced and sang for us. Abby loved this. |

Then one of our traditions is to have dinner at Lawry's. It is the old McCormick Mansion that is a Prime Rib Restaurant. Lots of history, great prime rib and a beautiful old mansion. |

This is a shot of the beautiful hand carved staircase that leads to the upstairs of the mansion. Little Abby is peeking over the rail at the top. |

Just a gorgeous spiral stair case. |

All of us in front of one of the many Christmas trees throughout the mansion. |

So with snow on the ground and very cold temps ahead I am hoping to work on some transformations on the inside of Junk Chic Cottage. |
