Chicago’s North Shore

Creating warm and inviting spaces within a home built in 1899 is an exciting process, and one that we so enjoyed collaborating on with both the homeowners and the Simply Done design team.  Selected artworks not only complement the thoughtful design details by Simply Done, but also reflect the family’s history and new surroundings.  An artwork by Elise Ansel - whose practice translates Old Master paintings into contemporary imagery - was placed over the library fireplace, and feels incredibly appropriate for the reinterpretation of this historic home.

Artists include: Elise Ansel, Deborah Dancy, Shar Coulson, Adam Katseff, Crystal Liu, and Rachael Wren

Design: Simply Done, Lisa Johnson and Laura Probst
