Designer Spotlight.............Summer Thornton

Wow, what a crazy busy week this has been for me! This summer has been flying by way too fast and I'm sure you feel the same way too. I'm happy to get back to posting on Tutu Style about a Chicago area interior designer that completely inspires me. First of all I've been passionate about textiles for such a long time and Summer Thornton worked with a high-end European Textile company within the Merchandise Mart - my dream job. Plus she has worked with many amazing interior designers and began her own interior design firm in 2007 - again a dream of mine! I recently discovered her design while checking out Dream Home at the Merchandise Mart where she designed the Foyer, my absolute favorite room in all of Dream Home. Check out the video of the room here.

Here it is - inspired by photographs by Annie Liebowitz, which were inspired by Alice in Wonderland - again one of my favorites.

I also checked out Summer's website, which had many more inspiring rooms you can see pictured above. I love her design philosophy of having fun and not being too pretentious about decorating. I hope you have the opportunity to see her design at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago soon because it is well worth it!
