Add one more trendy home store to the list of options in Lincoln Park. Today, West Elm opened its doors for a grand opening at the home shopper-friendly intersection of North and Clybourn. The home style haven now occupies the space left by Whole Foods when they moved down the street and adds one more option in an area already populated by home accessory giants like Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware.

For those of us formerly relegated to catalogue orders, today's grand opening means more hands-on time with the furniture and accessories before we buy!
