AT Book Alert: Update on Marilyn and Peter

2008-04-11-mpmain.jpg
Name: Marilyn and Peter (The Franks and F2)
Home Then: Ranch Style House in Skokie
Home Now: 2 bedroom Duplex Condo in Albany Park, Chicago


ATrealpeoplebook.JPG Marilyn and Peter's former home is one of the 40 featured in our new book: Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design Solutions.
We first saw their great sense of style when they entered and WON the 2006 Fall Colors Contest with photos of their great home and studio in Skokie. As much as we loved what they did with a traditional suburban ranch style home, we were excited to hear that they moved into the city...

...and are working on a totally new type of space - a two bedroom condo with soaring windows and tons of natural light. First, a quick look back:
