sweet covid wedding ceremony in pilsen

When Covid hit, every couple planning a wedding had a tough decision to make. Katie + Matt were one of those couples and they couldn’t wait to get married! Their big Thalia Hall reception may be postponed until next year, but that didn’t stop them from tying the knot — and celebrating! They went full steam ahead with a sweet, little Covid wedding ceremony in Pilsen followed by an outdoor gathering at a family home in Highland Park and we couldn’t love it more.

our seven favorite places to find wallpaper

My signature move is definitely wallpaper. Infamously known for wallpapering a rental property with skeletons, I constantly resist the urge to wallpaper every single room in the house. My sister- and brother-in-law just bought their first house and they have the perfect wall for a statement wallpaper. Obviously, you know I wanted in on that, so I decided to share the collection of places I browse for wallpaper that I put together for them. A note: I am a wallpaper purist. I’ve never even used removable wallpaper. One, because this isn’t something I put up myself and, two because wallpaper a dying art I like to support. It doesn’t seem like there are that many people who put wallpaper up anymore, and it looks hard as hell. So, I like to support those who keep this analog art going.
