RMH Interiors + Design  has been improving Chicago homes since 2004. Headed by Robin Harmon and Lynngail Page, the company creates spaces that combine classical and modern style with luxurious textures and fun, unexpected twists. And as of this month, RMH has a full-service interior design showroom in the Beverly Hills neighborhood (1800 W. 103^rd Street; 773-233-5811). The showroom is stocked with beautiful antiques, vintage furniture, mid-century modern furnishings, accessories such as Culver glassware, unique hand-dyed leather rugs, custom drapery, and fine art. You know—everything you need to create a drop-dead home. There is also a consignment division.  Schedule an appointment on a Monday or Tuesday or just swing by during normal business hours Wednesday through Sunday.

Kathy Hahn, the owner of Highland Park’s Adesso (600 Central Ave.), recently went on a road trip with her sisters through Indianapolis, Louisville, and their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. On their travels, the three hit up their favorite shops and antique markets and discovered some new ones. At each stop, they bought beautiful vintage home goods. The best part? Kathy is selling a bunch of her finds at a special Adesso Antique and Vintage Market through October 27^th. The offerings are mostly glassware and tableware, including beautiful pressed glass, pitchers and bowls with silver overlay, milk glass serving pieces (like this pitcher), depression glass, linens, and more. Weren’t you planning to spruce up your table before the holiday entertaining season gets going?

This weekend, the Woman’s Board of Winnetka Community House will once again show us how a design show is done. The Antiques + Modernism Winnetka exhibition and sale, which goes Friday through Sunday, is a chance to check out furniture, garden antiques, lighting, fine and folk art, architectural artifacts, and more. And unlike some shows that feature just one style or period, this one runs the gamut. There are Asian and European antiques mixed with Mid-Century, Art Nouveau, and Arts and Crafts items. A few knockouts are a George III walnut and parcel gilt mirror from the 1770s, a Coalbrookdale bench from England in the 1890s, and a Danish Modern sideboard, shown here. And the show will include a bunch of fun events, such as a brunch with J. Michael Flanigan from Antiques Roadshow and a Mad Men-themed cocktail party where you’ll be surrounded by Mid-Century furniture and get served food and drinks popular in the ’60s. Purchase tickets to the show ($15 if you get them in advance, otherwise they are $20) or any of the events at www.thewinnetkashow.com/tickets. It all goes down at the Winnetka Community House (620 Lincoln Ave.).

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Ray Eames’s birth and, to celebrate, Herman Miller is releasing three special-edition Eames Wire Base Low Tables (Eames LTR Tables). Originally introduced in 1950, these tables are cute, practical, and provide a pop of primary color. Use one as a nightstand or side table, group a few in lieu of a coffee table, or just plop one down wherever you need a little Eames. Available in Ray Eames’s favorite colors: cobalt blue, red-orange, and yellow gold. You might also recognize these famed hues from the exterior of the Case Study House #8, co-designed by Charles and Ray Eames.  The tables will be on sale starting mid-October and only be available through spring 2013 at Design Within Reach (10 E. Ohio St., 312-280-4677) or Room & Board (55 E. Ohio St., 312-222-0970).

The Good Wife is a hit, from the storyline to the acting. And the set design is not so shabby either. In fact, the show’s set decorator, Beth Kushnick, and her bosses at CBS have teamed up with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams to create a collection of furniture, with an accompanying accessories and lighting line that will be rolled out by Interlude Home. Among the MG+BW pieces: Kalinda’s white-leather wing chair (shown here) for $1,895, Will’s vintage-looking leather club chair for $1,945, and Diane’s sleek desk for $1,430. Any of these are sure add drama to your home (but hopefully nowhere near the kind of drama seen on the show). Check out the collection at the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store in Lincoln Park (1555 N Halsted Street, 312-397-3135).

By now, the pink ribbon and breast cancer awareness are almost as synonymous with October as pumpkins. And for Missie Bender, owner of one Vignette Home, breast cancer awareness is a cause close to her heart: Her closest girlfriend is a breast cancer survivor.  This month at her store, she is featuring a selection of pink home décor items and accessories, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. There are vases, artwork, candles, and fun accents, including these lovely pink lady lamps ($525 for the pair). Vignette Home is at 346 Park Avenue in Glencoe.

I can’t get enough of Missoni—whether it’s the tray I grabbed at Target during their collaboration or my wool scarf that doesn’t quite keep me warm enough on frigid days, but that I wear anyway. Well, now is my chance (and yours!) to get some deals on a few of the brand’s finest home items. Through the end of October, MissoniHome is having its annual sale, marking down furniture, textiles, and accessories by 15 percent. The Nadal throw was $2,185 and is now $1,857; the Nancho pillow was $220 and is now $187. Available at Stitch in Bucktown.

One open house is enough to get me excited—this weekend I don’t know what’s going to happen. The Chicago Architecture Foundation is hosting Open House Chicago, which is basically an open house that takes over the entire city. All weekend you can get free, behind-the-scenes looks at more than 150 of the greatest buildings in Chicago that are normally restricted or open “by invitation only.” This is your chance to learn the history and secrets behind the Aragon Ballroom, Pui Tak Center in Chinatown, Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica in Garfield Park, and so much more. No reservations are required and sites will accept visitors on a first-come, first-serve basis. That said, it’s a good idea to sign up at www.openhousechicago.org. There you can pick the spots you want to go to and hoods you want to explore to create a personal itinerary.
