Just a new Roman Shade or a life altering addition to this room? Only time, and this lucky family, can tell.

Before and After! Looking back at a wallpaper that led the way for this lovely kitchen refresh!

Deciding on some wallpaper for our foyer. I can do beautiful and a a bit subdued, but in our own home, partying monkeys will greet our guests. These peel and stick from options from will work great to cover the mid-century flat, wood, coat closet doors with the same print and different material used on the walls. Now, to decide on a color...

Some friends show up at the party with drinks and a lamp shade already on their head and others have to plan the party and clean up after.
These wallpapers are the steady Eddies to their large, colorful, counterparts. One of these will be chosen to provide order and balance to the walls of a dining room with color and a jazzy print on the ceiling.

A “fearless new era for interiors”? I’m ready!

It’s all about embracing drama, depth, and daring design moves.

It made my day to receive this text from a fellow Lake Bluffer and former client. That’s a wrap for the Lake Bluff History Museum Holiday Home Tour. All six houses were lovely! Here are some pictures of the design work I did in two of the houses on the tour.

Holiday Home Tour Flashback! Love this house and the owners. This kitchen and family room that I help design, renovate and decorate was featured in the Holiday Home Tour years ago. It’s so nice to look back on the before and afters. The space is crisp and colorful and functionally, it works wonderfully for these homeowners who are great cooks and like to host.

So looking forward to The Holiday Home Tour tomorrow. Two of my design clients are opening their doors to the eager public. Six houses, a few pop up stores, and hours of design and decorating inspiration! Love our cozy town, especially durning this merry event.
