This custom enclosed wine rack and cabinetry project in Evanston, IL was designed to transform a standard dining room alcove into a sophisticated entertaining hub. Conceived as a turnkey millwork solution, this built-in combines the secure storage of an enclosed wine cabinet with the functionality of a residential bar. The design features a solid wood enclosure crafted from rift-cut white oak, finished in a custom limed stain that highlights the grain while providing a durable, matte surface that complements the home's modern aesthetic.
Inside, the wine racking is configured for optimal display and capacity. The left side features a "label-forward" display system in satin black powder-coated metal, allowing bottles to be showcased. The right side utilizes high-density wooden storage to maximize bottle count for longer-term aging. Soft-integrated LED lighting illuminates the collection and creates a warm ambiance visible through the glass-front upper cabinetry, while a ducted wine cooling system discreetly housed in the base maintains ideal temperature and humidity.
Designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term preservation, the unit integrates seamlessly into the home's architecture. From custom millwork design and metal fabrication to final installation, this project represents a one-stop approach to custom built-ins for discerning homeowners throughout Evanston, the North Shore, and the greater Chicago area.

VIGNETTE® Modern Roman Shades
The Modern Roman Shade
Luxurious fabrics and soft folds give Vignette® Modern Roman Shades a clean, crisp look. Each full or flat fold in the fabric is designed to create a uniform aesthetic that operates seamlessly. The added benefit of no exposed rear cords improves window aesthetics and offers enhanced child safety.
Key Features
Gorgeous Fabrics—Vignette shades are offered in sheer, light-filtering and room-darkening fabric opacities, plus a wide array of colors and textures that includes silks, linens, tweeds and natural weaves.
Premium Design & Style—Explore the richness of texture and warmth offered by The Alustra® Collection of Vignette, a thoughtfully curated suite of exclusive design-inspired fabrics, textures, colors and hardware created to meet the expectations of leading designers and discerning consumers who seek the best in design.
Style Options—Vignette shades are available in two different styles:
• The Rolling Style features a 4” full fold or 6” flat fold and rolls up into the headrail.
• The Stacking Style stacks neatly beneath a low-profile headrail for shallow mounting depths and is available in a 4” full fold.
Consistent Appearance—Vignette shades maintain a consistent, full or flat fold appearance and require minimal fabric dressing when you raise or lower them.
Duolite®—Vignette Duolite Shades combine a light-filtering or sheer front shade with a built-in room-darkening back panel, both housed on a single roller to achieve perfect levels of light and privacy. The single roller is unique to the Roman shades category and allows for less mounting depth than other dual roller systems. The Duolite dual opacity option is available exclusively in the Rolling Style with 6” flat folds and the convenience of PowerView® Automation.
Accents by the Yard™—All Vignette fabrics are available in cut yardage, so you can create decorative accents with matching fabric.

THE SETUP
Initially, the kitchen in this prestigious Chicago Gold Coast residence lacked the sophistication and allure that our client desired. With a passion for marble and a vision for a space that would be as suitable for daily use as it was for entertaining, the homeowner sought a transformation that would introduce elegance and drama into the heart of her home.
Design Objectives:
Introduce opulent marble countertops to create a striking focal point
Install a comprehensive high backsplash for continuity and luxe impact
Update the range hood with a design that commands attention
Refresh the cabinetry with a brighter, more modern finish.
THE REMODEL
Design Challenges:
The quest for the ideal marble slabs was extensive and challenging. Our mission: find the right slabs and match them
The homeowner’s preference against metal hoods prompted a creative redesign
Design Solutions:
We selected exquisite Calacatta Viola marble slabs that encapsulate the desired impact and drama
A bespoke marble hood was crafted, serving as a unique and sophisticated component that complements the overall design
THE RENEWED SPACE
The transformation of this kitchen is nothing short of remarkable. Transitioning from a space that once felt underwhelming to one that exudes boldness and beauty, it now perfectly reflects the elegance and taste of its discerning owner. More than just a kitchen, it’s become a centerpiece for the home, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for both everyday moments and grand entertaining. It now stands as a testament to timeless design and the unique vision of its homeowner.

Inspired by the owners' travels in the Mediterranean region yet rooted firmly in Texas soil, this single family residence is designed to provide a secluded, comfortable environment for observing nature, relaxing, entertaining, living, and working. The oddly shaped site determined a house that is removed from the street, resulting in a long drive through a wooded area that leads to the gently sloping house site. The house is designed around a large, central public living area. The basic "H" shaped plan reaches out to define the entry court as well as the rear yard area. The building can only be seen in small vignettes as one moves around and through it, and is finally understood from inside the main room. The public space is central to the plan, where rooms overlay and flow through and into one another. Private rooms are tucked away in more remote parts of the site. The guest bedrooms are located at a slightly lower level, and a remote study, reached by a ship's ladder, overlooks the main living area and enjoys its own roof terrace. The central part of the house is designed as a solid, strong, "original" building to which other wings are added as if built over time. The client desired that the house appear to be of no discernible style or period, and seem older rather than newer.
