Nestled behind this quirky houred antique store in Westmont are small brick courtyards filled with…read morecharming antique garden accessories and seating. Well worth the visit to see the selection of garden furniture. It's seems to be unique to the area as I don't know of any other store with garden stuff like this. It isn''t stuff to find at Tuesday Morning but actual old iron and stone benches and tables and chairs, just delightful! The store itself is nice with a good selection of furniture, jewelry and smalls. I feel though that the prices are a bit high compared to other area stores, but it just might be the slight difference in quality and rarity of items compared to other stores. ( I'm not enough of a expert to know.) The store is packed so plan on a long visit.... in between the garden courtyards are more back buildings filled with less qulaity furniture and stuff. All together I think there are 3 buildings, and 2 courtyards. I also recommend not bringing your screaming kids- the aisles are quite narrow and stuff is piled high and one bad move of the elbow and I bet someone will be buying the things they break. Touch with your eyes, not with your hands!

Once again, I turned to Linly Designs for help furnishing my new home--and once again, they…read moreexceeded every expectation. Years ago, they completely transformed my space, leaving not only me but my friends and family in awe. So it was a no-brainer to return to them. While they no longer offer full interior design services (which is a real loss for anyone who hasn't experienced their magic), they more than made up for it with their stunning selection of Marge Carson furniture--an iconic brand with nearly 80 years of design excellence that Linly Designs now proudly owns. The result? A match made in design heaven. The quality of the furniture is nothing short of extraordinary--elegant, timeless, and meticulously crafted. And Linly's service? Still first-class, just like I remembered. From consultation to delivery, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The best have truly partnered with the best. I couldn't be more thrilled.

I would like to update my review. I did have the sofa redone at your shop. We discussed ad nauseam…read morethat it would be a comfortable soft sofa and that the velvet would not attract as much dust and lint as it does. You said it was specifically a better product. I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.

We used Design Inside for our recent condo renovation, and we were pleased with our designer,…read moreAbigail. We had looked into three or four design firms and went with Design Inside because we got along well with Abigail from the initial consultation. She's friendly and had suggestions from our first meetings. Our remodeling scope was pretty basic (resurface hardwood floors, install new tiling, new lighting, new kitchen countertops/backsplash/hardware, painting, etc.) We weren't planning on taking down any walls or putting up new walls - hence "pretty basic" in our eyes! The initial few weeks involved back and forth with designs and occasional meetings with Abigail so she could get a handle on what we wanted done. Abigail was accommodating with meeting/phone times, and would often meet with us late afternoons or early evening. She created designs we had never thought of doing (enclosing in structural poles, wainscoting, etc). Abigail also was able to easily "read" my husband and I in terms of color schemes and we ended up choosing one of the first few samples of tiling and backsplash that she dropped off with us. Kudos for that! Abigail also provided us bimonthly hours summary / detail so we knew how much we were being charged for her services. She would break down the time she spent working for us by the minute and it was helpful to see where our dollars were being spent. From a "grand overall design", Abigail did a good job, but when we started getting into the details in the later phases, we did run into a few minor issues. I recommend ordering all materials / furniture / art yourself and not going thru Design Inside. With a little work on the intranet, you can find it cheaper, not to mention a lower delivery charge. We had a few material mix-ups with Design Inside - i.e. we received the wrong hardware; not enough tile or grout was ordered. Abigail's measurements for the den were incorrect so she didn't order enough tile / grout - her measurements for the wallpaper were also off, but this time we almost ordered too much. The invoice system used by Design Inside is a little confusing and you should pay very close attention and track your own expenses. It's hard to describe but trying to track all the bills and refunds with the invoices provided was difficult. Overall - I would recommend Design Inside and Abigail for your remodeling needs. I would just offer a bit of advice to double check measurements and order your own materials, but would still recommend the company. Abigail provided different designs and options that demonstrated her design skills as well as her ability to connect with us in terms of what our goal of the remodel was. In our eyes, that was key.

Katy is the perfect mix of practical and design savvy. In our first meeting, Katy helped me to…read moreprioritize my projects for the biggest impact. In addition, she directed me on where to invest dollars and where we could save. We worked on several areas of my home in tandem...living room, hallway, master bedroom and guest room. Not to mention storage ideas and thoughts on future bathroom projects. The process was seamless and easy. We put a plan together in a few hours and we were off to the races. One of the most enjoyable experiences in working with Katy was the ability for me to add my own personal touches along the way. She really adapts to her clients in terms of how involved they would like to be. For me, I had lots of ideas that Katy helped me bring to life, streamline and balance. And she also encouraged me to take chances with paint colors, fabric upholstery choices and more. My gallery wall is one of my favorites! I could never have measured and hung with such precision. And my reupholstered hallway bench is one of my favorite stand-out pieces. Thanks Katy! I love Katy's design eye, easy-to-work with attitude and desire to put her client's style into every choice. My condo is finally a home! Love it! I highly recommend working with Design Inside and I plan on doing so for my next projects!
