“The dining room was the one space within our scope that had previously been designed, and it became one of my favorite transformations in the entire project. We completely reimagined it with a moodier, more layered point of view.”

“The striped floral wallpaper paired with the dark architectural trim creates a dramatic backdrop for the long dining table, chandelier, art, and collected accessories. I love the tension between the traditional architecture of the room and the bolder mix of pattern, color, and furnishings.”

“One of our favorite finds is the pair of vintage palm sconces in the dining room, which we sourced in Paris. The clients actually purchased them with us over FaceTime! We originally intended to use them in the primary bathroom, but once they arrived, they were far too special to hide away. We moved them to the dining room where everyone could enjoy them, and they cast the most beautiful warm light in the space.”

“The main stairway connects the different personalities of the rooms and became another opportunity to introduce color and pattern as you move through the house.”

“The primary suite was really an opportunity to create an escape within the home. We fell in love with a dark floral wallpaper by local Chicago sculptural artist Jaclyn Mednicov and chose to build the design of the bedroom around her print. We paired it with black millwork and trim, creating a dark, enveloping backdrop for the upholstered bed and layered textiles. We also wanted the ceiling fixture to have its own moment, so we chose a sculptural white plaster piece by Arteriors that really pops against the dark ceiling. The contrast adds an unexpected modern element to the room and gives the eye a place to land among all of the pattern and texture.”

“The adjoining vestibule was inspired by one of the clients’ favorite New York hotels. We wanted it to feel like its own little moment between the bedroom and bathroom, layering a vintage dresser and statement mirror against a beautiful marbled wallpaper. The French antique ceiling fixture was actually the very first piece we purchased for the entire project, so it really helped set the tone for what was to come.”

“This was one of the most transformative—and fun—spaces in the house. We knew we wanted pink tile, but finding exactly the right pink became a mission. We sourced close to ten different options before landing on the perfect shade for the pink-and-black checkerboard floor and tub surround. We paired it with black walls and a vintage Italian Murano glass chandelier for an unexpected hit of green.”

“The bathtub has become a fan favorite whenever anyone visits the house. There’s something about the combination of the pink-and-black checkerboard, black walls, freestanding tub, and Murano chandelier that feels glamorous and playful at the same time.”

“Just off the primary bedroom, the parlor was designed as a relaxed lounge and another little escape within the suite. We pulled a soft mint green from the bedroom’s floral wallpaper and color-drenched the entire room in that shade, creating a beautiful contrast to the dark, moody bedroom next door. We fell in love with the vintage striped plant-stand floor lamp and made it a sculptural focal point in the room. The clients are also huge music lovers, so their record collection and record player live here, making the parlor a place to actually retreat, put on a record, and relax. Layered with vintage and collected pieces, the room feels personal, playful, and connected to the rest of the primary suite.”

“The primary closet is one of the most personal spaces in the home. The client is a fashion lover who collects both vintage and new pieces, so we wanted the room to feel like more than just a place for storage. We wrapped the ceiling in a floral wallpaper by Chicago textile artist Kristy Stafford, whose work we love and used in several other spaces throughout the home.”

“The vanity has become almost like a little office for her—a place to escape, get some work done, and be surrounded by the beautiful, special things she has collected over time. The soft lavender cabinetry and layered pattern make the entire room feel feminine, personal, and completely her own.”

“For the home office, we drenched the walls, trim, and ceiling in Farrow & Ball’s Green Smoke to create a moody, cocooning environment. The room has beautiful natural light from multiple windows, so we could take the color quite dark without the space feeling heavy. Black cabinetry and furnishings ground the room, while art, vintage pieces, and collected accessories keep it from feeling too serious.”

“We kept the boys’ spaces a little more graphic, particularly in the bathroom, where the black-and-white plaid tile became the jumping-off point. A black vanity, black bobbin mirrors and sconces continue that graphic quality, while the blue hardware adds an unexpected shot of color.”

“We wanted these spaces to feel youthful and playful without designing something she would quickly outgrow.”

“The bathroom became a little jewel box of pinks and purples, with layered tile patterns, a sculptural pink mirror, and warm brass details. It has a sense of whimsy while still feeling polished and considered.”
