AFFILIATE LINKS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED ON AK STUDIO. HOWEVER THEY ARE USED TO ENDORSE PRODUCTS THAT I GENUINELY LIKE AND WANT TO SHARE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
Amazing how these two homes came from the same designer…
AND
I’m so impressed by designers who can cover such a massive range. Which style do you prefer? Both rooms by Amanda Nisbet
PS have you “liked” TTS on FB? PPS I’m going to a fun little black tie event tonight. I love an excuse to get dressed up. Pictures to come. PPPS Have a great weekend xo
Yesterday I went to visit the new DreamHome at the Merchandise Mart. DreamHome is a staged home set up inside the Mart and twice a year they choose different designers to design each room.
I took some pictures on my phone but they were so terrible and grainy I decided to share these (from the website) instead, still not the best quality.
This was a close second for favorite. The foyer. Up close the wainscoting had the most beautiful texture, almost like an antique tin and the most beautiful chandelier.
Loved this space. Industrial and rustic.
Liked this. Mix of neutrals, pink and blue but it still didn’t have a wow factor to me.
Bedroom was pretty, nothing crazy exciting.
Dressing room was by far the highlight. Check out that gorgeous artwork.
The kitchen was beautiful but a little formal and traditional for my taste. But the marble dog bowls (far right) are incredible.
It’s so much fun to see all the different designers takes on these spaces. If you’re in the Chicago area I definitely suggest checking this out in person, its free and open to everyone.
