Domestica | Holiday-fy Your Home with Mariani | Alice Oglethorpe

"An artificial tree covered in some tinsel does not a festive house make. Give your home the love it deserves by visiting Mariani Landscape (300 Rockland Road, Lake Bluff; 847-234-2172) this weekend."

Domestica | Holiday Shop ’Til You Drop in Andersonville | Alice Oglethorpe

"Anybody can buy a gift on Amazon. We say support local shops and designers by purchasing presents right here in Chicago. Tomorrow night is a great chance to do that and save money because it’s Late Night Andersonville."

Domestica | Bye-Bye Craigslist, Hello Furnishly! | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"I recently moved into a bigger place and have been on the hunt for cool used furniture to fill it with. But I don’t have much time to drive around the city looking at all of my favorite shops. I thought I was going to be stuck using Craigslist to find furniture online, but then I stumbled onto Furnishly."

Domestica | Neighborly Love | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"You know those Chicago posters that use typography to show all of our city’s different neighborhoods? They were designed five years ago by a company called Ork Posters and quickly became iconic."

Domestica | Our New Flame: Diptyque | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"My big weaknesses this time of year are pumpkin-flavored desserts, sparkly dresses, and fancy scented candles. So it’s perfect timing that this month is when Diptyque is opening up a store at 1645 N. Damen Ave. in Bucktown."

Domestica | A Century of Style: Poltrona Frau | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"It’s been 100 years since Italian furniture company Poltrona Frau started designing and manufacturing its beautiful, timeless styles. And not only do they keep coming out with new designs, but their old ones look as current as ever. Armchairs designed back in 1919 are still available to buy today and this Dezza armchair (which I’m completely obsessed with) was designed in 1965."

Domestica | Coyle & Herr Turns One | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"It’s been a year since Coyle & Herr started its monthly 10-day sales featuring amazing furniture and home decor. To celebrate, the company is ditching its “only open for 10 days at a time” philosophy and staying open for a full five weeks!"

Domestica | The Urban Natural Look | BLAIR FRIEDEMAN

"Oak, acacia and blackened fir look great on their own, but mix in a little steel, glass or brass and the outcome is unique, fresh and urban with an au naturale vibe."

Domestica | Paperish Mess Opens in Ukrainian Village | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"Ukrainian Village is the lucky hood that’s home to the cutest new store, Paperish Mess (1955 W. Chicago Ave., 312-265-1497). Owners Lisa Muscato and Sean Murty, longtime sweethearts, wanted to open up a store where locals and artists could hang out and interact."

Domestica | Steal Trenchermen’s Look | ALICE OGLETHORPE

"After a recent dinner at Trenchermen in Wicker Park, I couldn’t stop thinking about how beautiful the design was. So I tracked down the designer, Kevin Heisner (also the creative force behind Nightwood, Bar DeVille, and Bangers & Lace), and asked him how I could get a similar look at home."
