Well, hi! I’m Megan Jeyifo, a new contributor to Inside, Out! So nice to meet you.
I’m representing both Chicago, where I currently reside, and Milwaukee, where I was born and raised. I’ve lived quite a few places but always end up returning to great cities on Great Lakes. Midwest is absolutely best in my not-so-humble opinion, and you can expect to see me touting it pretty frequently.
I have my own little slice of the interwebs over at Urban Casita. Started last fall, Urban Casita celebrates cities and urban living with a hefty dose of home/apartment decor, some DIY, stories of thrifted treasures and pretty imagery meant to inspire and engage.
Ten-cent vintage restaurant ware from the junk store, anyone?
When I’m not blogging you can find me wandering Chicago thrift and hardware stores looking for objects to repurpose and vintage goodies to decorate with on the cheap.
I’ll be posting neat ideas and projects for your house and apartment, some cool interiors and hopefully, a little bit of everything that makes a home feel like a home. Have decorating tips? Especially for apartments? Clue me in! Maybe you want to share a project you’re working on for Spring? Email me and let’s talk about it.
So looking forward to spending time here; see you soon!
Congrats Megan!
Excited for you, and congratulations!
Welcome! Love your blog already
Welcome! And yes, I’ll take some restaurant ware!
Living in NYC, one of the things I miss most is good, big thrift stores. I’ve only been thrifting in the Midwest a couple of times but the finds have been really, really good.
Megan is awesome!
So proud of you! Congrats.

aw shucks!
Thanks, all! Super excited to be here. Katherine, I’ll have to give you the big thrift tour next time you’re in Chicago.. or Milwaukee, where the really good stuff is!
Megs knows her bakeware!
Shannon Hayes’ “Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity From a Consumer Culture” should meet your urban cassita and “Inside, Out!” Shannon does not appear to be a black Irishman, i.e. blirish, but we’re aspiring to the notion that the human race is one, anyhow, n’est-ce pas?
Wow! “Inside, Out” readers are to learn of the grace and power percolating in the Great Lakes Heartland cities!
Sounds like you have a lot in common with Deja Vu Consignments in Milwaukee. She turns cast off’s into fabulous pieces. And you will find lots of materials for your decorating and projects there.
Writing is a noble and semi-honorable profession.
Wow! I’ve been wondering what you’ve been up to. Congratulations, Megan! I’m bookmarking this page right now!
