The Digital Houses Of New Jersey

Episode 2: Side by Side Digital Rendering

In the previous episode we unveiled Amanda's suburban New Jersey kitchen.  We identified some glaring issues that we intend to take on.  We continue below with the next stage in the design process: Recreating her kitchen as a digital model. 

Transferring her kitchen into digital renderings allows us to quickly develop new ideas through pictures to help Amanda make the very best decision towards awesomeness.  Take a virtual tour through her kitchen.  Take a breath...We think it's pretty cool too.

How's It Hanging Antiquairian?

Check Out Our Newest Antiquaire Fixture, The Rive Gauche.  It is a Lovely Niermann Weeks Chandelier in A Rust Iron Finish.  It plays on lines and how, despite the fact it has geometric details, it still holds a traditional aesthetic. 

Call us with any Niermann weeks order (trade or public) or questions you may have.

Keeping Up With The Antiquairians

Lake Forest Showhouse Episode #1

We are delighted to announce that we have been selected for the nationally acclaimed Lake Forest Showhouse AGAIN! It's the second consecutive year that our talented design staff has been chosen from Chicago's finest for this annual event, now running in it's 27th year.  That my friends, is a hot streak.  This year we are working within a gorgeous David Adler Italian Villa, just off the bluffs of Lake Michigan. We are excited to get started and give you exclusive content on the design process.  In addition,  this November we have been celebrating 5 years in business and kicked off with a successful Anniversary Sale, which you still have time for, but you already knew that.

Check back for our tips of the week and our thoughts on the latest trends flowing through design.   Our Latest Projects. Antiques. Design. Travel. Gastronomy. Awesomeness. This is the place for the finer things in life as commented by our dedicated design staff.

The Showhouse has graciously chosen the designers at Antiquaire to revamp this quaint Utility Room.  Here's a sneak peak of two panoramic views below.  Check back with us to see the room transform over the coming months.

Yup, we've got some work ahead of us, wish us luck.
