I was walking through Downtown Chicago along the river at dusk this evening. The reflective buildings, dark blue sky and vibrant street lights caught my attention. It's always inspiring to me to see beautiful sky scrappers reaching for the clouds. Some are very tall, others shorter, some are new, some are very old, however they all thrust from the sidewalks like pillars of man's accomplishments (okay was that too cheesy?). Chicago is rich in both new construction and old construction, especially downtown. Somehow the two seem to balance each other out...almost creating a rhythm.
This concept is practiced in many homes today. People have older items in their decor, or antiques, yet go Crate and Barrel and by a contemporary modern piece. The old and new create an energy or balance when they are in a room together.
Enjoy the few photos I took this evening. Think about how the new and old work together...complimenting each other.

| Wrigley Building with the Tribune Tower (1925) behind it (technically it's across the street on Michigan Ave). |
Good day!
