Loved the repurposed metal top on this table from Strand Design's Ted and Sharon Burdett. The duo designs and creates high quality objects for sustainable living..."manufactured locally and sold at accessible prices."

Playful bits of color and a sleek silhouette...zakrose designs and builds custom furniture and cabinets. He's a member of Dock 6, a collective of fabricators, furniture makers and designers.

In addition to its nearby storefront, The Painted Lady had a peppy, preppy-colored display in the 2011 Design Harvest tent. Loved the upholstered pieces and the can't-resist accents.

Love the Chicago location of The Find. Open just three months, the space is superbly merchandised with a great assortment that covers several design styles and periods. Loved meeting the in-store display designer/merchandiser, Jim, and Bonnie.

Great industrial finds ... here, you'll find the right accents for Farmhouse, Steam Punk and Rough Luxe interiors. Most pieces have a Chicago connection and/or one-of-a-kind provenance.
