Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

Bruce Siple’s apartment in Thurber Tower is like nothing you’ve seen—a mid-century modern gem filled with plastic art, bold colors, and creativity at every corner. From his 17’ x 9’ wall of vibrant vintage treasures to a coffee table made of detergent caps, it’s a celebration of quirky, joyful design. And the best part? You can see it yourself during the Short North Homes & Gardens Tour. It’s not just a home—it really is a work of art. While you should definitely check it out on the tour, you don’t have to wait to take a peek inside. You just have to click the link below!
