Welcome! My name is Jeanette Nyberg.


First thing’s first: my favorite color is gray. Also, I am a RISD grad and a product of suburban Rochester, NY, but I’ve lived in and around Chicago since 1993. Ask me about how devastatingly cool I am that I lived in Wicker Park in the 90’s, making and selling paintings.

Over the past decade+ of blogging, I’ve discovered an obsession with curating and sharing everything I deem beautiful, creative, and inspiring.
