All That Glitters


Tis the season for sparkle and glitter! We love anything shiny this time of year, almost like a Magpie for her nest. We've decorated the store as we had our Holiday Open House last weekend. It was fun, and the store was full of people getting ideas and buying gifts for their loved ones. Of course they were also buying the glittery, eye catching decorations for their nests.

Next, I'll move on the my own house. We'll get the tree this weekend, and I've been thinking (okay, maybe obsessing is the right word) about the other decorations for this season. Every year I try to add something new, or change something so it's not exactly the same as the previous year. This causes angst for my grown children however, who seem to think everything has to be the same for their whole life! Tradition and all that. They just don't realize yet that when you are a decorator at heart, things have to change all the time. . .

Also, Paperwhites and Amarylis are everywhere, along with fresh greens. Every container I can get my hands on will be filled with something appropriate, along with a "Charlie Brown" Christmas Tree at the front door to welcome guests.

It's a month of sights, smells and excitement; mull some cider, bake some cookies, have fun shopping, and enjoy all that is merry and bright.
Happy Holidays!

A smart, sophisticated apartment remodel


The last time the century-old apartment in the heart of downtown Chicago had been updated was in the 1970s. "It wasn't exactly a dump, but it needed a lot of work," says interior designer Eva Quateman, Read more about this remodel in Traditional Home Magazine.

Make it flow.
That's Eva's No. 1 rule in decorating. "One room should flow into the next unobtrusively. The design should sing the same song as it progresses along from space to space," she insists. Even houses with a lot of different colors in the palette should have continuity. "If green and orange are in one room, then maybe it's green and red in the next. The idea is that some elements of color should segue from one room to the next so the spaces flow."
