Where is your place. I’m pretty sure I walked by your dinner party. I live on Fremont @ Addison. This is such a great idea! I think I might try it soon!

Simply lovely.

I’m curious how he went about informing neighbors in overlooking apartments. My approach would probably be to leave a note at each building’s entrance letting them know that the group would be inside by a certain time and my phone number in case they had complaints.

Adoring everything . . . looks fantastic! Stopped over here from Apartment Therapy. Looks like all that was needed was an accordion player!

Janice: in hickville Ohio they call that patch of grass the Treelawn. Makes me laugh every time I hear it.

David is marvelous as an entertainer (we were personally treated to a special dinner party in Chicago, at a previous home and his presentation always shines) and a amazing decorater as my Hubby and I personally know and still marvel at his touches in our home…..way to go David.

How infinitely gorgeous–and definitely nicer than something stuffy and inside.

I always want to go to your friends’ dinner parties, though.

Wow! cell phone pictures actually did the party great justice. It was totally worth it and I was proud to be the host to such great people….I think that it falls into the ‘once a year’ kind of party, though. That was a lot of work! Oh, and the strip of land out by the sidewalk is actually called the parkway.

Hi, Tate, thanks for the dinner party photos, especially accompanied by Satchmo. I felt like I was there, as I enjoy my post-lunch treat of fine Orange Pekoe tea and lemon creme cookies. Oops, got to go, one of my clients has a message in the window.

Mayor Daley should put David in charge of opening ceremonies for the 2016 Olympics. If his design alchemy can transform a Wrigleyville gangway into Italy, imagine what he could do with an entire Olympic village and stadium.
