    Being environmentally conscious is the cool thing to do, so it's no surprise that the newest "green" idea from Senco Properties is located in the ultra-hip hood of Chicago's Bucktown. Featuring stylish sustainable staples like bamboo floors, a rooftop filled with plants and a wind turbine, EcoLogic Lofts is aptly named: eco-friendly and smart. Seven stories of functional, sleek design with concrete walls and exposed ductwork give the lofts a unique, funky modern feel right off the bustling Kennedy Expressway. The lobby is dotted with green kiosks showing more ways to incorporate earth saving tips into your lifestyle. You know what? They're right -- green is gorgeous!

Each unit has a private balcony -- many with picturesque skyline views -- as another way to bring nature inside. And with an appropriate address on Green Street, Emerald lives up to its gem status in luxury environmentally responsible living.

    We all cracked up during Anchorman when Brick stated "I love lamp," but really, a cool floor lamp can actually bring excitement to a room! The lamps we're talking about, however, aren't your standard, prototype floor lamps-- these lamps are designed to make you "ooh" and "ahh." If you're looking to give your room the unconventional edge that your standard floor lamp isn't, these light fixtures are more like a work of art with purpose. With twists of metal and an array of different-looking shades, your new lamp can be so much more than a night-time reading accessory. A look at these lamps will make you appreciate light in a whole new way, so take a peek at a slideshow of some of the coolest lamps you can get your hands on!

    Seriously, there's nothing I love more than flipping through a well-done magazine. Whether it's showcasing the hottest trends for fall, or seeing all the fabulous editorial photoshoots -- I love them! That's just one of the reasons I love going to the bookstore and picking up a couple home design mags. For around $20, I can imagine all the ways I could change my place - paint this/move that, etc! My favorite is Elle Decor, because they have celebrity homes that are simply unbelievable. For instance, last issue, they showed Anna Sui's abode - amazing prints and all! My favorite hardbound selection can sometimes be hard to find, but the Domino: Book of Decorating is great for determining your style, and solving different space solutions - like renting a tiny studio. Check out my slideshow for lots of great design inspiration publications!
