Dreamy Crescent
Tucked away in the woods of Winnetka, this home is an absolute gem. With both Australian and Fijian roots, the client brought an exciting energy and aesthetic to the table. The home melds her culturally significant pieces with layers of vintage charm. In her culture, before a baby is born, the women of the village begin weaving a mat for the new child. That beautiful framed mat became the focal point above the fireplace. The front room, affectionately called the “Ladies’ Living Room,” pulls in the original pink fireplace with blush walls, dusty shearling, and ceramic pillow artwork—each piece filled with a handwritten message of positivity from the artist. This home is full of nooks and hidden spaces. Secret paneled doors lead to the powder and laundry rooms. Nearly every window is wrapped in a bench seat cushion, framing views of the expansive lawn. Throughout the house, vintage lighting and furnishings—sourced both locally and globally—reflect the client’s eclectic taste and deep connection to home. A space like this doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you into it.
