READY TO ROCK

1 week ago | jwcmedia.com | Thomas Connors

Sleep-deprived. Overwhelmed. Humbled. That’s how Milena Djankovic and her husband were feeling as they navigated parenthood for the first time. “Caring for a colicky baby kept us in a constant cycle of comforting,” she remembers. “Rocking seemed to be the best solution to soothe our son, and I spent countless hours confined to the rocking chair in our nursery. This experience led me to search for a portable rocking solution that would offer greater versatility and convenience.
STRIKING A BALANCE

Life is an interesting, unpredictable journey. Compelling fascinations fade while an encounter dismissed as irrelevant proves to be the portal to an exciting new opportunity. An experience in childhood—a time when we are exposed to something new every day—may metamorphose over time, from a pleasant memory to a defining aspect of adulthood.
HOME TOUR: HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Distance is measured in more than miles. A break in routine, an afternoon lost in a book, recreating that dish you tasted on your first trip to Paris—all can be a welcome escape. And getting away from it all doesn’t have to begin with a trip to O’Hare. For one Chicago family, jumping in the car and heading to Highland Park does the trick.
PROTECT AND PRESERVE

From wildfires and drought to severe winter storms and flooding, 2024 was a tough year for the nation. The toll for these natural disasters totaled $182.7 billion. And we’re not alone. Over 13 million acres burned in Canada while devastating floods impacted Spain, Afghanistan, and Brazil. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is front and center in highlighting these challenges and advancing global solutions.
This Sunlight Lincoln Park Condo is a Swedish Delight

Next to the bungalow, nothing epitomizes Chicago’s everyday cityscape quite like the courtyard apartment. Yet as ubiquitous as these U-shaped buildings are, they weren’t the only game in town during the first burst of multiunit residential construction here, between the tail end of the 19th century and the eve of the Depression. One example: the Aztec, at 305 West Fullerton Parkway, where a four-bedroom unit is for sale at $1.85 million.

Rooted in Design: Modern Architecture with Welcoming Warm Interiors

Building a home that has a sense of neighborliness and privacy is a delicate balance—a challenge and an art form. This Austin residence, crafted by CoXist Studio, strikes that perfect balance from the moment you lay eyes on it. Its facade, an elegant dialogue between brick and glass, establishes a home that invites, yet never overexposes. The walkway to the front door is a particularly generous and gracious gesture, a gently cascading stream of steps spun of black steel.
A Desert Oasis - Design Chicago

Design Home Tour Maria Khouri Interiors and Diego Handcrafted Homes create a weekend home that suits its dramatic environment. If there’s one environment where a home should really suit its site, it’s the desert. Austere and seemingly monochromatic, this landscape demands lean lines, earth tones, and the sense that any house standing in it belongs there.
DESTINED TO DESIGN

1 month ago | jwcmedia.com | Thomas Connors

Laura Tribbett didn’t stand a chance. She was born to be an interior designer. As a kid growing up outside the Twin Cities, she loved building with Legos and making shoebox dioramas. By the time she was in high school, she was hooked on TV’s Trading Places and begged her parents to let her redecorate her room. When they gave her the green light, she took inspiration from a colorful comforter, sponge-painting the walls yellow and hanging a wallpaper border.

You can go home again. Just ask Tom Kusmerz. As a kid working for his grandfather’s lawn maintenance and gardening business, Len’s Landscaping, he pulled weeds and watered plants for $3.56 per hour. After attending the University of Iowa, where he studied business and finance, Kusmerz worked at the Board of Trade. But it wouldn’t be long before he felt dirt under his nails again.
