“We are so excited to bring in a new lighting vendor, Alora Lighting, to our Arlington Heights showroom. The luxury brand is known for it’s refined finishes and timeless designs. I love the clean lines on the Salita linear pendant. It would work well in any design plan from contemporary to traditional.

The Salita is available in 3 different finishes and you have the option of using a clear or ribbed crystal to make it your own. Come on by and see this incredible piece in person!”

“The entry sets the mood, and the view of the lake inspired the natural materials to complement it and not distract. The stunning 13′ tree root from Urbia imports anchors the long space. Cisco Home ottomans in leather and a stunning Arteriors chandelier create a dynamic entry.”

“This is an upstairs hall in a lake house that we wanted to make functional and interesting. A family of 6 lives here so the goal was to create a quiet and comfortable place to relax and read a book. We used organic textures and neutral colors to create a serene and inviting environment.”

“Coming from my favorite corner in the Arlington Heights showroom, my inspiration is from mixing materials reminiscent of my home in New Mexico. The use of refined pieces with dusty palettes from the sunset to tribal patterning coming from the surrounding reservations to organic shapes found in the river valley, they each evoke memories of discovering items in old barns or ranches and digging through my grandparent’s treasure trove of pieces from generations past.”

The goal of our work was to blend outdoor and indoor living with an earth toned color scheme with blue/green accents, and inviting, comfortable, yet elegant furnishings that reflect our client’s sophisticated lifestyle.”
