Bed Hopping

by

Seems you can’t turn around—or over—without running into a handmade luxe bed in River North, what with Nilson beds at Haute Living and Duxiana now in Tree Studios. Meanwhile, Hastens at 440 N. Wells St., has expanded its offerings to include Vi-Spring (also sold at Harrods in London), and has changed the store name to Chicago Luxury Beds. The Beckhams and Paris Hilton are fans, so who are we to quibble?

New in Deerfield

by
 

Sheryl Roy is upping the ante on home style in Deerfield with her new store, Madden Home. Roy shops from artists in London, antique stores in Portugal, flea markets in Italy, designer showrooms in England, and trunk shows in Hawaii to bring original pieces to her shop, which is housed in an orignal 1900s home in downtown Deerfield. Find big names such as Jonathan Adler and Arte Italica, as well as lesser-knowns such as London-based Emma Bridgewater and Bob’s Your Uncle. Prices run the gamut, and styles range from salvaged finds to pristine accessories. We love it when designers mix it up. Roy also offers in-home design consults for $150—which can be applied toward purchases at the store.

Behind the Curtain

by

Kim Chapman was the manager of Jayson Home & Garden’s custom design atelier until Flor moved into that space several months ago. She recently struck out on her own, with Urban Environments, an upscale window treatment, wallcovering, and upholstery shop in Lincoln Park, right next to Ethan Allen. Chapman, who represents HunterDouglas (whose white Roman shades are shown above) along with her own private-label collection, does every type of fabric-requiring job there is, including making custom dog beds. But her real talent lies in “creating modern drapery for urban spaces.”

Our Mistake

by

We were thrilled to feature eight gorgeous staircases in the November-December issue of our magazine on page 46. We regret, however, that, in our Buy Guide, we misidentified the creative talents behind them. Please link to the corrected version of this story here. We are sorry for these errors.
