Sometimes, it’s the details that make a room feel the most personal.

From a hand-patinated bronze side table by Blackman Cruz to bathroom walls wrapped in domino paper by ANTOINETTE POISSON., each choice brings something special to the home and reflects the people who live there.

The closer you look, the better it gets. 👀

Magic is in the details, but it is also in the people who bring them to life. 🙌

For our bedroom at THE MART, Jodi Ruggeri helped us capture the charm of old-school European hotel bedding, while Laurie Roberts brought the room together with tailored window treatments and a beautiful bed canopy.

Trusted partners and wonderful collaborations. We could not do it without them! 🥂

What a pleasure to visit the Iatesta Studio on Kent Island, Maryland, this past week!

Their new collection with Kendall Wilkinson Design is truly exceptional, and seeing the craftsmanship behind each piece made us appreciate it even more. There is nothing quite like stepping behind the scenes and watching a beautiful design come to life. 💙

Thank you to the Iatesta Studio Handmade Furniture & Lighting team for a wonderful and inspiring few days!

Wallcovering is back in a major way, although if you ask, it never really left. 💙

Today’s designs bring unexpected texture and bold scale, transforming not only how a room looks but how it feels. That is why wallcovering remains one of our favorite ways to give a space a point of view.

The details are doing all the talking in our bedroom at THE MART. 🪞

A custom carpet from grounds the room, while the wood-grain wall covering from brings warmth and depth. Antique mirror tiles frame the cased openings, adding a subtle Art Deco influence.

Tailored and, of course, a little unexpected. 🤎

Come experience our bedroom in person!

Summer days here in Chicago have us counting down until our next weekend at Torch Lake. ☀️

A little work, a little rest, and plenty of personality in between. The bedrooms and office may be tucked away from the main rooms, but thoughtful color and charming details give them just as much character.

The quiet rooms deserve their moment too! 😉

A bedroom with a well-traveled point of view? Now that’s our kind of escape. 😉

For the 2026 SHOWHOUSE at THE MART, we envisioned a richly layered private sleeping carriage inspired by the romance of the golden age of train travel and the unforgettable spirit of Belmond Hotels.

A dramatic palette of deep green and rich brown, accented with gold and umber, creates a retreat that feels both transportive and timeless.

Experience the SHOWHOUSE at THE MART Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM, and Saturday, 10AM-3PM, now through November.

A special thank you to and for helping bring our vision to life, and to for capturing it so beautifully.

Sharing a few of our favorite outdoor spaces designed for making the most of summer, from long afternoons by the pool to evenings spent entertaining.
