I love Serena and Lily and have decorated with their wallpaper, furnishings, and fabrics for years…read more I am sad to report that the design shop in Winnetka does not have the capacity to serve walk ins. I've walked in three times in the hopes that I caught them on a bad day, but on each occasion, all staff members are on the phone and might as well be talking to people calling the online service number. You would think the point of an in person store is to serve people in person. I would recommend making purchases online, as going into the store is not at all helpful.

I was biking to Hubbard Woods today and saw this gorgeous new store was open for business! I have a…read morelot of Serena & Lily in my house, but have never actually been inside one of their gorgeous stores. And this didn't disappoint because I found myself wanting to recreate a few rooms with their gorgeous furniture, but for now I settled on some new placemats. Unfortunately, they didn't have the placemats I wanted in stock, but the lovely sales associate ordered them for me with a store code for free shipping and 15% off. Score! The outdoor space is gorgeous and I couldn't help, but just sit down for a few to check my email. I wish they went the RH store route with drinks and food out here because it really is the perfect setting and I could see myself enjoying many girls nights out in this space with a drink in hand. Welcome to the neighborhood Serena & Lily!

You could go to the Merchandise Mart, River North or Lightology to spend a ton on modern furniture…read moreand lighting.....but if you don't want to spend that much and - you don't want IKEA stuff (nothing against IKEA, I love their food and stuff), then you can come here. I think a good comparable would be Domicile, but Dania is a couple of levels classier due to their showroom in Northbrook. As you walk in, someone, who almost looks like another shopper (but dressed a little better than you) will come and greet you and ask how she/he can help. I like that and I keep that person in mind as I walk around the entire store. They have nice credenzas (I haven't used this word, in like 8 years), dining room tables, chairs, beds, lamps, rugs, etc. I used to assemble furniture part-time, while I was in college, so assembling furniture is a breeze for me. However, some of the furniture comes preassembled, like my credenza. Whether you're trying to furnish an entire house or wanting something in particular - I suggest visiting here. Close to I-94 and Barnaby's pizza!!

Highly recommend John Plunkett Interiors…read more John & Valerie Plunkett went above & beyond to help us settle into our new home. We trust their judgement, and trust that they would find the best solution for us, and they did. They listened actively to what we like or want. Because they used to own a chain of furniture stores, they have a network of suppliers that they can tap into. They have good tastes, but more importantly, they are very hands on. They don't mind doing the work themselves, whether it's hanging art, installing lights, etc. We also very much appreciate that they repurposed our old furniture and gave them new life by finding great spaces for each piece. We cannot recommend John & Valerie Plunkett enough!!

This was awesome and unexpected but much appreciated. Quality furniture + expert advice + and fair prices add up to the right furniture choices.

I ordered what I thought was 3 sets of 4 and was shocked when only 1 box arrived with 3 rings and an empty slot where the fourth should be. When I called to find out what happened they eagerly offered to sell me 9 additional rings to get me to the 12 I was expecting. They were not willing to reimburse their shipping to me nor my cost to return ship to them although their representative acknowledged the mistaken item description was their fault! Disappointing and concerning business practice. I wouldn't order from them again.

Get some things on the cheap. They also have a few sales each week. Basically it looks like a typical small thrift store, but the difference is the quality of what they have. It's mostly clothes, and a few knickknacks. There's also home goods like glasses and plates. Clothes aren't falling apart like at some places that are cheaper. The service is also friendly. Get here for some good finds and fairly cheap. It's a little more expensive than Goodwill but it's better quality. There's something to get as a gift or for yourself.

I would like to update my review. I did have the sofa redone at your shop. We discussed ad nauseam…read morethat it would be a comfortable soft sofa and that the velvet would not attract as much dust and lint as it does. You said it was specifically a better product. I had another chair recovered in velvet at Calico Corners in Wilmette and it does not attract dust and lint at all so it is not necessarily a function of all velvets. You were not nearly as helpful as you sound here on yelp when I had these complaints after the sofa was done. You' were completely unresponsive and refused to assist any further. At minimum, the sofa should've been comfortable and you definitely did mislead me on your product.

It's a nice shop with some lovely items. What drew me in was seeing some nice photo frames when I peeked in the windows; they had some nice ones but not quite what I was looking for. They had 15% off Christmas stuff when I was in but I didn't see anything I needed (and other similar shops I'd visited in Uptown, Andersonville, Wilmette, and even down the street in Winnetka had 40-60% off Christmas items, so it was easy to pass). Staff were friendly and I was greeted by both employees within moments of entering, both happy to help me find anything if needed. If you're looking for a gift, decorating a home, or need advice on either, Madarine Home would not be a bad place to shop. There's a step in order to enter the store, so you may want to call and find out if they have an accessible entrance if you can't manage the step. There's parking all around this shopping district that is free.

Years ago, they completely transformed my space, leaving not only me but my friends and family in awe. So it was a no-brainer to return to them. While they no longer offer full interior design services (which is a real loss for anyone who hasn't experienced their magic), they more than made up for it with their stunning selection of Marge Carson furniture--an iconic brand with nearly 80 years of design excellence that Linly Designs now proudly owns. The result? A match made in design heaven. The quality of the furniture is nothing short of extraordinary--elegant, timeless, and meticulously crafted. And Linly's service? Still first-class, just like I remembered. From consultation to delivery, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The best have truly partnered with the best. I couldn't be more thrilled.
