Now that we're moving to a place 3x the size we have now we need to find a crapload of furniture. What's your favorite sight to go to for inspiration? Besides West Elm, Room and Board and Designs within reach which we have exhausted! TIA!
Edit also would like website that have home pics in them that you like to go to! Thanks ladies!

I know a lot of people think they're generic, but I soooo many of the rooms in the Pottery Barn catalog! If I could afford to shop there, I totally would - or at least use some of their ideas.
All our new furniture came from Pier One - they have lots of cool, kinda ethnic-y stuff if you can find a larger store.
Do you guys have a store there called The Great Indoors? I really that place, but I'm not sure if they have locations in Chicago?

I also really like www.dominomag.com just for poking around that site.
I second Elle in the Pottery Barn catalog. They have great ideas and if you hunt around, you can find stuff that looks exactly like PB for a ton cheaper. My parents have done this and they've decorated their condo pretty much from Target/Wal Mart/TJ Maxx/etc and it looks just like a Pottery Barn catalog.
I highly recommend Bernhardt furniture (I'm sure there are several dealers in Chicago). The quality is great. Let me know if you have any questions, I use to sell high end furniture, so am well versed in the subject
I love the Frontgate/GrandinRoad catalogs. They have this "America's finest homes" feature with pretty pictures. You can see it here. Some of them are sort of fugly, but others are gorgeous!
