A Walk Down Memory Lane...

This month, our webmaster saw these photos on Kathy's desk and asked who created the look of the rooms.

Kathy shared the story behind these lovely and elegant rooms -- which were completed about 9 years ago.

Back then, it was the Chicago Institute of Decorative Finishes and Kathy Carroll had a contracting business -Gotcha Covered, Inc. The design company was Design Concepts by GCI.

Kathy says, "These rooms were really a labor of love -- we created the look by selecting or designing everything in the rooms, from the finishes on the furniture to the window treatments."

These photos illustrate that -- while decorating styles may change -- good design and color selection is truly timeless.
