This year’s annual Elmhurst Reindeer Walk featured a collection of stunning homes, but one stood out for its unique charm and bold personality. I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of this beautiful space where an eclectic mix of vintage and modern design comes alive.
This extraordinary home belongs to one of my amazing clients, whose curated art collection includes works by Heidi Becker, Lizzie Selle, and Karyn Denten. Each piece tells a story, enhancing the character and depth of this inspiring space.
A Living Space with Depth and Warmth
The heart of this home is a contemporary open living area brought to life by contrasting painted built-ins and a thoughtfully curated gallery wall featuring my client’s vintage art collection. These elements add both warmth and depth, showcasing the beauty of blending old and new.
A Sophisticated Entryway
In the entryway, Heidi Becker’s "Blush and Mint" adds an air of sophistication. Its soft yet striking palette welcomes guests with a timeless elegance that perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the home.
A Dining Room Elevated by Statement Design
The formal dining room is transformed into a visual masterpiece with statement ceiling wallpaper. This bold choice draws the eye upward, beautifully accentuating the room’s high ceilings and adding a dramatic flair to the space.
A Daughter’s Room Full of Personality
In my client’s daughter’s room, Karyn Denten’s "Sugar Sand" brings a serene yet invigorating vibe, perfectly balancing energy and calmness. A vibrant coral homework nook provides the perfect pop of color, reflecting the owner’s passion for bold and creative design.
A Playful Touch with Artful Details
Choosing art for busy wallpaper can be a challenge, but my client knew immediately that a unique vintage framed Lizzie Selle Joyful Connections original was the ideal match for the House of Hackney floral wallpaper. To add visual weight, she paired it with elegant brass butterflies that enhance the aesthetic and bring a playful, whimsical touch to the space.
A Personality-Filled Landing
The upstairs landing overflows with personality, starting with a charming pink console adorned with thoughtfully layered art and objects. On the adjacent wall, a Lizzie Selle "Bright Spots" original adds the perfect touch. This area proves that impactful design doesn’t always require large artworks; small, intentional details can make a bold statement.
A Master Bedroom Full of Harmony
In the master bedroom, my clients selected a vintage-framed piece from my "Joy in Motion" Collection. The cherry on top? It beautifully complements their new rug and bed frame. Whether kept as a solo statement or expanded into a gallery-style arrangement over time, this piece brings harmony and personality to their restful retreat.
Gratitude for an Inspiring Client
I’m so honored to have my work and the work of these incredible artists featured in such a beautiful home. It’s clients like her who inspire and energize my passion for connecting people with meaningful art. Thank you for letting us be a part of your world.
