Monday, February 1st, 2010
We are so very proud that Apartment Therapy (The Chicago Branch) one of the MOST influential design blogs in the country about personal style inside private homes, elected to feature Sarah’s home and a story about her family’s downsizing process from a grand gorgeous older home with fancy acid washed marble countertops to a home 1/2 the size (with formica countertops) while creating a sense of beauty and authentic style all on a shoestring budget.
