RUTHIE SOMMERS ~ DESIGN IN CHICAGO

When the talented interior designer Ruthie Sommers, at that time seven months pregnant, was asked by friends to decorate their Chicago townhouse, she was happy to oblige.  ENJOY!

Everything is so beautifully done. Hanging out in that living room would seriously take my blood pressure down a notch or two!

The first room is particularly beautiful - such subtle shades of pink and lemon in the gorgeous rug. A very calm room.

Gorgeous! I love the black lacquered walls with the chartreuse art. And those beds!! The canopies are amazing. Thanks for the intro to her work!

I loved this home and the story behind it! I have loved Ruthie's style ever since I saw her on a long gone HGTV show called Area. She had redone her little brother's apartment and it was the first time I had seen dark walls, white curtains...and it seemed so brave and chic.

She hasn't let up since!!!

I just love this December Veranda issue I have been constantly leafing through it , its just great! I love Ruthie's rooms as well, and how fresh and inviting they are! I know you must love the cover of Veranda as well, it reminds me of your style.. traditionally elegant!
Happy Wednesday,

I adore Ruthie Sommers! Another one with Southern roots, she grew up right here in Charlotte, NC! She is the epitome of style in my book! Love it! Have a great Thursday Teresa!

Oh, wow! The details in those rooms are incredible. Especially the bedrooms. Really beautifully layered, too.

I love all of the rooms Teresa!! I especially love the high gloss black lacquer walls, the reflection from the lights on the walls makes the space seem larger. Have a wonderful weekend!
