For some reason he eschews the gray one with the nautical theme and king-sized bed in favor of the mint-green one with the Colefax chinoiserie print that swathes the walls, draperies, armchair, and dainty canopy bed . . .
This week Akashic in Good Company is delighted to feature a virtual tour of of a wonderful indie bookstore from Chicago’s North Side, The Book Cellar!
