We are so lucky to work with such amazing clients, one of whom we had the pleasure of designing their new home in a nearby Chicago suburb. It’s so satisfying to be able to design a home top to bottom, room to room. It gives the home a cohesion where each space is speaking the same language but telling a unique part of the story. This home is beautifully balanced with a variety of rich textures and historic elements that make the home feel like it has always been there. As always, our goal is…

In any new build kitchen, part of the challenge and reward is in creating a space that has character. That doesn’t yell: “Look at me! I’m new!” Each design should also reflect the owner and take into consideration their unique needs and preferences. It’s in these details that a design comes to life and becomes more than just drawings on a page. In the Park Ridge kitchen, our clients felt strongly about keeping the full-size sink off the island, but also really wanted the convenience of a…

We’ve been a little busy these last few years at Park & Oak. Growth is inspiring and fun and exciting, but boy it requires a lot of hard work, late nights, and sometimes impossible to meet demands on time and energy. Today, it’s all worth it. Today, we open the doors to our expanded Collected showroom and retail space. Within the new space is The Parlour at Park & Oak, a cozy cocktail lounge where people can gather and feel welcomed, whether it’s a quick stop for a cocktail and conversation…

We’ve been visiting the 1920s a lot through our work lately and are really loving it. Having the opportunity to revive homes with so much inherent character and really highlight their unique features is so gratifying. In this 1922 Winnetka Georgian, you see how striking the effect can be when you take a moment to consider the details that make a home special and shine a spotlight on them. While thinking about how to best highlight the arch and the existing molding in the vestibule of this…

Our product ethos is centred around a commitment to craft pieces with longevity, and whilst we enjoy exploring the latest trends to gather inspiration, our designs never form because of what’s currently ‘in’. Once in a while however, a trend with lasting appeal appears and the topic of the moment is certainly one to

Thought we would share some great before & afters we found while cataloguing photography this week. We truly love helping our clients make these transformations and creating rooms they love to live in!

Learning the stories behind the historic houses we work in, and how our clients wound up there, can be such a fun part of the job. For example, this 1927 home has a twin sister next door, built for real-life, early 20th century sisters. Our clients initially bought a house down the street, even though they had been eyeing these twin homes for years. When this one hit the market, they knew they had to make the move…again. And we can see why. This home has such beautiful bones: intricate…
