Chicago's Mecox Gardens


Chicago's Mecox Gardens was one of the very first stores I blogged about - way back in March 2008.  Blogging wasn't as well known then and I can remember being quite nervous about asking to take photos.  They couldn't have been nicer then and now - hope you enjoy these pics.  Isn't that lamp fabulous against the green!






Check out this little stool encased in lucite - fun!




Elongated stools



I'm always happy when I have to come to Chicago for work.  What a great city with amazing architecture.


Did you hear they're having a heat wave here?  It's still fabulous.

    Hi Michele,
    We are having a long heat wave here in Kansas City as well!

    I love the unique garden stools in Mecox Gardens and many more items; the first lamp, very cool!

    I could live in Mecox Gardens. I went to the Palm Beach one and loved everything. I haven't been to Chicago in years. I love that city.

    We just got back from a week in Chicago. Loved it. Get yourself to the Art Institute if you have not already!

    I love when you take us window shopping. :) I think I'm partial to those garden stools.
