Debra Koertge is helping make suburban Geneva into more of a design destination with her new shop, Artemisia. She recently moved it from a quiet corner of St. Charles to Third Street, Geneva’s main shopping drag. The 3,000-square-foot space is filled with a smart and ever-changing selection of furniture, architectural artifacts, and the best work of local ceramists, jewelers, and woodworkers.

Have you been to Fishman’s Fabrics lately? It looks even huger than before! The fabric mecca just remodeled, raising its 12-foot ceiling to 22 feet high, exposing the original wood trusses and visually expanding the space. Since completing construction at the end of November, they have added about 1,000 rolls of upholstery from high-end furniture manufacturers from around the U.S., with new fabrics coming in every two weeks. Textile lovers, we guarantee you will feel like kids in a candy store. Those leather hides are $2.50 to $3 per foot.
