Happy Victorian
This 1896 Chicago home was revived with bold pattern, playful color, and a sense of whimsy layered over its historic bones.
The renovation introduced brighter, more connected spaces, including a new study addition, refreshed kitchen, and expanded mudroom for family living.
From tiger-print upholstery and jewel-box dressing rooms to richly textured wallcoverings and saturated hues, the design brings joy and energy into every corner while honoring the home’s history as a beloved family residence. This home was featured in Luxe Magazine.

“Summer can mix things, and they just work. Sometimes I don’t think she’s consciously doing it. It’s just part of her natural process.”
client“This nostalgic family home set me on the path of creating these charming, rambling family spaces full of joy and life.”
