Situated in a quaint Bucktown cottage, Crosell & Co. is a little haven of stemware and china, pillows and candles, and all things "transitional-traditional" that can make a home look elegantly finished. You'll see graceful silver that's just modern enough, as well as furniture scaled for small spaces, a wide selection of upholstery fabrics, wallcoverings, and head-turning pieces like the Louis XV–style cast-aluminum and patent leather armchair in the window. Crosell & Co., 1922 N. Damen Ave., 773-252-9010
