Birch Lane Chesterfield Sofa (Ours is slightly older!)

We’ve been getting glimpses of fall here and there in Lincoln Park, and like nearly everyone else, I feel like a new person in my cozy old cable knit sweaters and loafers I’ve pulled out of the back of my closet. I love the excuse to spend a little more time in our home, putzing around and rearranging little things to make spaces feel new.

We live in a narrow city house that goes up instead of out or back like most. A Chicago ski house, if you will. (Those don’t actually exist, haha.) We absolutely have enough space for our family, and we have no unused rooms in our home, which I love. Every single room is used every single day, and it makes for such a lived-in feel. The other morning, the light was streaming into our first floor—quite the rarity!—and I was able to catch a few small details that I love about it… in natural light. :)
