Hello Luvs, what a thrill it was getting the band back together last week at the beginning of our Sweet Sixteenth Season! We missed everyone in January but ice fishing is almost as fun as antiquing ๐ We hop into March with some fabulous new initiatives including an RSM pop-up at the Chicago Flower & Garden Show! Plus we introduce RETROSPECT vintage modern fashion chicago May 3/4 and then beginning monthly in May Dynamic DESIGNER Duets — Chicago’s top designers decorate with vintage onsite. In the meantime, see you at the end of the month! -LOVE RSM
Some of our talented designer advisory board members!
See how they dig up the treasures at Randolph Street Market and work them into high end contemporary interior design!
