We are so excited to announce that our Chicago-based project has been featured in the latest issue of Traditional Home! This project beautifully illustrates how design can seamlessly adapt to seasonal changes while maintaining a cohesive visual flow. Featured as chapter four, 'April,' in Forever Beautiful, it carries the fitting title 'Spring Forward.'

The inspiration for this project was drawn from the lush landscape just outside the windows. Though the structure of the home was relatively new, we breathed new life into the traditional spaces with timeless yet refreshing elements. From the custom de Gournay chinoiserie wallcovering in the entrance hall to the hand-painted furniture to the thoughtful integration of the owner's exquisite collection of art and antiques, every detail contributes to a space that feels both fresh and comfortably familiar.

I am also excited to announce that today marks the official release of FOREVER BEAUTIFUL, which highlights this project along with eleven others. This book, the final installment in the 'Beautiful' trilogy, showcases designs that honor the beauty of nature. Each order from the Mark D. Sikes website comes with a signed copy and an exclusive invitation to our virtual book launch, where the FOREVER BEAUTIFUL documentary will debut. I can't wait to share this long-awaited project with all of you!

Make it Beautiful,
