The living room

We were able to source most of our upgrades from other Chicagoans on Marketplace, yard sales, and thrift stores. It was important that we did what we could to serve the community and not create more waste.

  • Queen sleeper sofa
  • Curated library wall
  • Smart TV

The books and cookbooks were sourced locally, from libraries, personal collections and thrift stores. They were specifically chosen as books you would actually read.
