We’re not afraid of a little personality! 💅

From striped ceilings and trellis-lined dining rooms to a hand-painted tortoise shell ceiling and even custom storage for a client’s hot sauce collection🌶️ , we believe the most memorable spaces are the ones that tell a story.

And yes, we’re always happy to embrace a little color along the way.

Every project is different and honestly isn’t that’s the fun part. 😉

A canopy moment. ✨

We envisioned a dramatic draped bed that would feel both transportive and glamorous.

Wrapped in Abkaou by , the canopy became the heart of our room at . Its layered drapery creates a sense of escape while bringing just a touch of drama to the space.

A special thank you to Pierre Frey, we are so grateful for your continued partnership.

Next stop: somewhere extraordinary. 🥂

Our bedroom for The Showhouse at THE MART is inspired by the romance and glamour of the golden age of train travel. Layered in rich materials and a dramatic color story, the space is designed to feel intimate and transportive.

Art Deco is having such a moment right now and are here for every bold and confident bit of it.

Thank you to for bringing this incredible showhouse back to Chicago and strengthening our city's design community in the process.

Excited to share more details and brand partnerships in the coming weeks! The showhouse is open Tuesday - Friday through September 24th.

An exciting new chapter is unfolding at with not one, but three standalone cottages. Each cottage is designed to feel like its own destination within the club and we are here for every minute of it!

First up is the Honeymoon Cottage (working on the name), a charming stone clad retreat inspired by the rolling hills of Virginia and the kind of place where one cocktail somehow turns into three. 🥃 Think warm woods, botanical layers, rustic textures, an oversized fireplace and of course, plenty of antiques. The kind of space designed to feel like a welcome home.

We are thrilled to be taking this ride with the club and beyond grateful for the partnership. Here we go!

Memorial Day weekend at the club just hits differently. Summer whites come out and cocktails start flowing a little earlier. Suddenly, everyone remembers why club life is so special. 🇺🇸🥂🇺🇸

Our work at was about more than a renovation. It was a complete rebirth of the club, breathing new energy into under utilized spaces.

One of our favorite transformations at the club is what used to be the formal dining room. Today, it’s an expanded bar and lounge space designed for a much more casual, social kind of club experience - we are here for it! Keep the summer vibes coming. ☀️

We love incorporating antiques into our projects as a way to bring rich character and history into a home.

The right antique can make a space feel personal and unique something that simply cannot be replicated with something brand new.

Whether it’s a beautifully worn chair, an antique mirror, or a one-of-a-kind decorative object, these pieces help tell a story and create homes that feel deeply individual to each client.

When it hits 60 degrees in Chicago the whole city comes alive. It feels like we’ve been sheltering in place (indoors!) FOREVER so we are quick to throw on shorts, jump on the bike and hit the lakeshore.

We designed this dining room in our Gold Coast Pied a Terre to provide the summer escape year-round. We believe that a room should be lived in across all seasons - warm, sheltering and grounded in the winter and open, light and fresh in the summer. And, who doesn’t love a little bit of trellis all year long?!

We love creating those rooms that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Expansive glass that gives the illusion that nature is sitting right there with you. Furniture pieces and fabric choices are curated to accommodate the wet bathing suit or the dirty wellies. Clearly, we’re getting summer ready here in the Midwest. Can’t wait!!
