Curbed Chicago’s greatest hits

Dear readers,

We’re writing with some news: We’ve closed up shop at Curbed Chicago for the time being. So, we’re leaving our homepage curated with our some of our best and most resourceful stories.

Meanwhile, our national site will continue to report on how changes in the housing market could affect you, feature striking homes from around the country, and distill the latest design trends. And because we’re all spending more time at home lately, we’ve also got ideas for easy home projects to tackle while you’re hunkered down and tips on how to turn veggie scraps into houseplants and transforming your bedroom into a sleepy minimalist cocoon.

You can also follow Curbed on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook—where we also host groups for fans of midcentury modern houses and interiors and campers, vans, and RVs.
