Mad for kitchens in March!

chelledesigngroup — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 02:03:49 +0000

For the month of March we are focusing on the hub of the home, the kitchen. A kitchen remodel can seem daunting. It is the most common and the most expensive project that a homeowner can undertake, so it is understandable that it can be overwhelming and paralyze even the bravest of heart. So many decisions to be made which will create the heart of your home, now if that isn’t pressure!

With so much at stake, it just doesn’t make sense to move forward without a professional. We take the hassle and the worry out of all those decisions and get the process rolling smoothly. Our goal is to entice you all month long with fabulous kitchen finds to get you from “I wish I could” into “I am glad I did it!

The American Porch is Celebrated on 6/5 in Libertyville, IL

MainStreet Libertyville is hosting its 7th annual self-guided Historic Walking Tour on Saturday, June 5, from 10am to 2pm. The focus of this year’s tour is the classic front porch, prominent throughout much of American architectural history.

Many houses in Libertyville feature distinctive front porches, and this year’s tour will focus on a carefully selected group of about twenty. A variety of architectural styles will be represented. In addition, several gardens and interiors will be open for viewing.

Tour participants can enjoy walking, biking, or driving through town to see these distinguished homes. MainStreet Libertyville Volunteers will be in Cook Park distributing the Walking Tour booklets describing the history of the houses and directions to the various properties. These tour booklets are offered for a donation of $10.00 to MainStreet Libertyville.

As a long-standing interior design firm in Libertyville, we were asked to lend our expertise and design one of the porches on the tour. Stop by 205 W. Cook Street to see our interpretation of the American porch!

Rug Sale!

Area rugs are a wonderful way to instantly transform a space. Some rugs become the room’s focal point, almost acting as artwork. Other rugs simply provide a soft surface underfoot and are intended to blend in with their surroundings.

For the month of April, enjoy 25% off these beautiful eco-friendly rugs. Using untreated 100% natural wool greatly reduces the amount of dye used in making a rug. These natural rugs are certified by GoodWeave. Please contact us for sizes, pricing & availability.

Look Up!

Interest in affordable, eco-friendly home details is increasing, especially amongst younger home buyers. Go green with concrete counter tops–we’re fans of Soupcan in Chicago; tankless water heaters and recycling bins built into kitchen cabinets. Energy-efficiency is another related feature buyers are looking for, according to the AIA report. Alternative home insulation techniques & extra insulation in the attic are among most-wanted features. Aesthetically, we’ll be soothed by the serene colors of sand, the sea, the sky, and trees. Always present are natural materials like stone, wood, glass and metal.
