The Silk Thumb, LTD

We deal with designing high end homes and commercial spaces across the Mid-West. Julie, and her very-close to real silks ALWAYS fit the bill. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly passionate about what she does.

I am an interior designer who has hired Julie many times over the years to provide that all-important final layer of accessorizing to a room or entire home, and she has never disappointed me! I can't say enough about how easy Julie is to work with ( even though I am VERY picky!) Since Julie does a custom look for every client she listens to our ideas and respects the budget range, and in the end produces a realistic, beautiful, classy look every time. We just completed a dental office and the client and his patients are delighted with the results. Julie provided the final layer of "jewelry" that dressed up and warmed up the spaces. I won't use anyone else!

I'm an interior designer, and have used Julie several times for my client's needs. She goes way above and beyond! Her incredible eye for color, proportion and detail, combined with her amazing work-ethic are a winning combination! I'm glad to refer her to my clients, because she never ever disappoints! I've had her make small arrangements, like an orchid for a bathroom counter, all the way up to an enormous arrangement for a grand entry, like one would see in a hotel lobby, and each time I'm beyond satisfied- I'm thrilled with the results! She does both residential and commercial work, and there's nobody better in the Chicago area for artificial plants and arrangements than Julie Brugioni with The Silk Thumb.

I have had Julie at The Silk Thumb make several arrangements for me, both for personal and professional use. Her design ideas and use of color is amazing, and the flowers/plants look SOOOO real. In fact, I had Julie make an arrangement for one of my customers as a "Thank You" gift. My customer absolutely loved it! And, she even watered it for a week until she realized that they were silk! True story! If you need an arrangement of any size, for any reason.....birthday, holiday, Mother's Day, client gift.....you absolutely can NOT go wrong with The Silk Thumb.

I have hired Julie several times to complete gifts for my clients. Everytime they call me up to thank me for the wonderful arrangment. If you want a professional gift for your best clients for birthdays, new arrivals, or repeat buisness Juilie is the person to talk to.
