Congratulations to my Cousin!!

This morning I got an email in my Blackberry from my dad saying that my cousin Chris was in an article in the Home Section of the Chicago Sun-Times. I was really surprised because he & I had just spoken a couple of weeks ago about his needeing my decorating help on his new place & how much of a "bachelor pad" it was. I wasn't able to open the article quickly in my Blackberry (they can be slow!!) and so I had time to guess about what it might be. I came to the conclusion that it would be about him having gotten a really great price on his new condo, because he looked long & hard and is such a saver. And... I was right!!


Anyway, Chris got an awesome deal & I'm so excited for him so I had to share!! He's such a great guy & deserves this & as we start to decorate his new place, I'll be sure to share pictures!! (ps- He's 25 & single to all the Chicago-area single ladies!! :) --- he'd kill me for saying this though!! hahahha

    Sounds like your cousin found the perfect fit, good for him!
    And I'm sure his Emerald will really shine once you've worked your magic!
    Wishing you both all the best, Eileen
