Standard Grit
By MODintelechy / Design
I have to admit, though I may appear pretty girlish on the outside, I am a huge sucker for anything that has a ruggedness to it, or need I say that certain “grit”. I’ve sort of moved out of the over colored and patterned stage of my life and into a more neutral and old world…

I don’t know why, but I’m kind of obsessed with owls. Not so much the actual animal, more just owl art. So of course when I found these seasonal owl paintings I fell in love. And even though they were made for a child’s room, I still really want them… they’re too cute! Check them…

See Scout Sleep

Anyone who knows me knows I am a really big dog person. So obviously when I found these incredible dog beds, I just had to have one. I feel like so many dog beds these days are cheesy and horribly made, so since my dog is finally out of the toddler stage of his life,…
Bet you didn’t know I liked duck fat

If you’ve haven’t been to the (semi) recently opened Contigo, you are MISSING OUT. Totally chill, outdoor bar with gorgeous wood decks and tables and surprisingly tasty “bar” food.

Chalk Letters

Dana Tanamachi: Chalk Lettering When I saw these massive chalk lettered walls I swooned with complete envy. Anyone that does hand lettering knows how incredibly difficult it can be on paper, let alone with chalk. Graphic designer Dana Tanamachi’s detailed, 19th century style lettering is so up my alley I couldn’t help but share. There…

Art that Unites

Matthew graduated from Depaul University in 2006, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts. He has also received numerous recognitions and awards. Winters…
The Backspace

Already smitten with Parkside on Sixth Street, it was no surprise when I discovered and fell in love with the delectable artisan pizzas at The Backspace. This recently opened Neapolitan-style pizzeria is owned by the same restaurateur and Chef of Parkside, Shawn Cirkiel. This super quaint and incredibly romantic restaurant is a recommendation I would…
Paddleboarding: A Sunday Adventure
By MODintelechy / Uncategorized
Image with me being stranded. In the middle of a body of water. With no clue how to get back. Okay so maybe I’m being a bit dramatic. But this was me for about 5 minutes in the middle of Town Lake while simply attempting to turn my paddleboard around. Ridiculous, I know. But besides…
