Luxe Living in Sweden

I stumbled upon this Swedish townhouse on a favorite blog of mine, Made By Girl, and had to share with my blog readers. Though a predominately white interior can easily look sterile, I think they did an amazing job. I love the use of space and the uber modern decor. This townhouse is seriously my dream palace.

What you talkin bout Willis?

This morning the story broke that Willis Group Holdings, a London based insurance broker, would be moving their offices into the Sears Tower (occupying more than 140,000 ft) and as part of the deal get to change the name of the building to Willis Tower. This has me bothered. Not only has the Sears Tower been a Chicago landmark since 1973, but I feel like it's wrong to change the name of something so historic and meaningful to the city. Will city landmarks such as the Water Tower, Hancock Building or even Michigan Ave. be sold to the highest bidder? Like many Chicagoans I have grown up with the Sears Tower being the "Sears Tower" and will find it impossible to start referring to it as something else.
