A Deeeluxe Apartment In The Sky


I am staying in a hotel in downtown Chicago and I have a perfect view of how the other 5% lives. There is a luxury loft across the street and level with my room that is everything the aspiring business executive or art dealer could ask for. Huge bright windows with no curtains, impossibly high ceilings, soft netural colors and custom low lighting. Big vases and old chests, immaculately restored fill custom-made, lit cubbies in the walls. Lots of browns and beiges, with rich red and green accents. Oversized candles burn in every room. I'd be willing to bet it smells fantastic in there.

And nobody's ever home.
