A Sundrenched, Contemporary Apartment Remodel in Chicago for AD

It’s not always easy to make a contemporary interior feel lived-in. Often, such spaces feel stark, neutral, and sterile. However, at a recent shoot of Alexis Bednyak’s stunning (and contemporary!) design for Architectural Digest, I found it quite simple to create a warm and inviting look. I mean, with this natural light, who wouldn’t want to spend time here?!  To see some fun before and afters of the space, head to the link below. Xx

A Pied-a-terre Inspired By The Chicago Sunset in Elle Decor

I am honored to share a recent shoot in Elle Decor highlighting a very talented friend, The Chad James Group. This Michigan Avenue home embraces both color and texture reminiscent to the city, giving this home a strong sense of place and beauty. Thank you Elle Decor for continuing to support our work, while inspiring us at the same time. Xx
