Done! Toured all of the homes on the Wright Plus Housewalk, and have a newfound appreciation of my town.

@whatiwore

Bravo!! We should all be so good at appreciating where we live!!!

@stephcascio

So cool! I live in Oak Park and saw so many people walking around today! I didn't even know this event existed... Maybe next year I'll make it (if it's something they do every year?)!

@jazzynickel

Nice! I love Frank Lloyd Wright...

@makingitlovely

@stephcascio It happens every year, but this was the first time I've gone. Next year it will be "All Wright" houses.

@stephcascio

@makingitlovely Oh, awesome! I'll definitely try going next year. $100 isn't bad considering you to go inside and all that!

@kristilynnmy

Jealous!

@awshaffer77

Visiting Oak Park next month. Any restaurant/ bar recs?

@stinagirl14

@awshaffer77 Kinderhook Tap, Lake Street Kitchen & Bar, Piggyback Tavern (which is actually in Forest Park), and Buzz Cafe. Have fun in my hometown!

@blendastudio

You are lucky to be able to see a Frank Lloyd Wright house!

@makingitlovely

We have dozens of them here, but rarely do you get to see the interiors! Next year's Housewalk will feature "All Wright" homes, exclusively.

@missy_2424

I lived in PA and went to falling waters. It was amazing!

@sarahsmallfox

The worlds only Frank Lloyd Wright hotel is an hour north of me. We stayed there last October. It's amazing!

@theuncarvedblock

There are a few here also.

After reading "Loving Frank" and "The Women" I would LOVE to see the homes he created. Thanks for sharing your pics @makingitlovely!

@careylkg

Have you read Loving Frank? After reading it I toured his homes in Oak Park - so fascinating!

@adventuresindressmaking

Beautiful. I explored Oak Park a few years ago and this just reminded me of some of its amazingness!

@makingitlovely

It's a great town! This home was interesting, because it was one of the only ones to mix new and old inside (to great effect).

Time to upgrade from dial-up ;)

@makingitlovely

Ha! That's with the fastest firewire/thunderbolt connection possible! (And I forgot to disable power saving modes, screen savers, etc. I assume that will screw things up and require a second attempt.)

@designingaround

Leaving more time for new girl and/or margaritas.

@dovelybee

Are you doing a time machine back up? That's on my weekend list to do myself.

@twicelovely

When it was going to take that long for mine, we ended up switching it to a lightening to Ethernet transfer. It cut 33 hours into 2.5

@haveyourcake

@makingitlovely just did the same when I got my new one last month. Congrats!

So your short hair may have nudged me to cast aside my ideas of getting my curly mop cut into a bob and go shorter But re-looking at yours I can't help feeling like I need to return to the dark side too Currently a sandy dark blonde...

You totally rock short hair!
