Introduction There’s nothing more special than designing a forever home for a young family. When this project came across our desk, we were immediately excited about the opportunity to reimagine a traditional Wilmette home with a more minimal and sleek aesthetic that our clients were drawn to. The clients got the home at auction after it had been sitting abandoned for a few years, so needless to say, this house needed WORK. The project was a full-gut renovation with extensive layout changes to create a more functional home. The result is a perfect blend of a modern and minimal home with transi ..read more

Introduction At DGI, no two projects look alike because we empower our clients to cultivate their own personal aesthetic. This project was unique because our clients were inspired by Parisian interiors, as well as a modern and minimal style.

We carried this palette throughout the design of the entire home after a full gut renovation with significant layout changes to the kitchens and bathrooms in the home. The result is a modern townhouse with Parisian t ..read more

Our team designed the floor plans and construction finishes, as well as all of the furnishings and decor throughou ..read more

Another month has come and gone, but that means it’s time for another roundup of our favorite Q&A submissions. This month, Devon gave her best advice on a variety of design topics ranging from kitchen cabinets to area rugs. So let’s jump into to the highlights! What questions can you ask contractors/designers to know they’re trustworthy? The best way to understand if a designer is a good fit is to have a conversation with them where you can see their faces (I think it just helps you get to know them better) - in person or video - and ask detailed questions about their process and past work ..read more

As soon as the pandemic began to wind down and the world opened back up, Mike and I knew we wanted to plan a trip to Europe where we could eat delicious food, drink delicious wine and wander picturesque streets to recharge. We very quickly narrowed down our itinerary to France and Italy. More specifically, we started in Paris, traveled through the South of France, spent a few days in Florence and Tuscany, and wrapped up our trip in Rome. There were three things that we cared about for this trip, and today I’m sharing as much of them as I can with you: beautiful hotels, delicious restaurants, a ..read more
