Smart Framing for the Museum of Science and Industry

The Smart Home at the Museum of Science and Industry is the Greenest Home in Chicago! It is open to the public until January 8, 2012.

The Smart Home was designed by the Museum in collaboration with Andersonville's Scout. The industrial and Chicago themed art throughout the home was custom framed, as seen in these photos, by Foursided.

Seriously, it's way better than Googling it.

Bubble Balls

One of our new favorite things at the store are these super fun glass ball containers ($9 & $12). Fill them with keepsakes, hang them from your ceiling, & voilà! The results are magical.
