I'm not sure what artichokes symbolize in literature or art. But this store is definitely named for…read morethat green vegetable that finds its way in plastic and other decorative forms all around this place. You can probably deduce from choice of stately vegetable that the place has a decidedly old European feel. Knick knacks like elaborate magnifying glasses are fit for Sherlock Holmes. Rich tapestries in the back take on brooding, dark colors. The artisan soap here struck my fancy--it was the same brand (the name escapes me) they carry at Scandia Down, but the stuff here was at least $10 cheaper. They had stuff I didn't see at Scandia, including frogs, two adorable pigs, dogs, and more.

All very unique and add a touch of whimsy to almost any décor. In addition, I've furnished and decorated two houses with the help of the wonderful designers at Artichoke Designs. Not only do they help steer in the right direction in terms of pulling a room together, they do it with an eye toward my budget. You buy furniture for less money at places like Pottery Barn but you won't get nearly the durability or style that you get with a custom made piece that the designers here can help you find. I especially appreciated the way they were able to blend new pieces with my older, sentimental pieces that I just couldn't part with. If I could give this place 10 stars instead of only 5 I definitely would.

I was so impressed with all of the interior design ideas and options available. We had just missed their big holiday open house which looked like it was a divine time.

I don't think locals quite understand how cool the Indiana Design Center is. The building looks…read moreintimidating, but as the signs say, it is open to the public. The Indiana Design Center houses many higher-end businesses that feature granite countertops, lighting, home decor and more - definitely a space where one would make an appointment or drop in and get inspired for home design or fully design a room/house. There's even a business on the second floor that uses virtual reality to show clients what the space will look like! Clients from all over come here to design, and the Indiana Design Center hosts events with designers throughout the year. Definitely worth popping in!

He doesn't just order in one distinct style either, he gets in many pieces for many different styles that are popular and I enjoy having those options when I visit.

Jeff Sheats Designs worked closely with me during the construction of my new custom home. Jeff and…read morehis team were invaluable throughout the process. They created detailed construction drawings for lighting and electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, and millwork including a stunning coffered great room ceiling. Furthermore, the team shepherded me through the appalling number of choices to be made whether it was upholstery, window treatments, flooring, bathroom tile, countertops, fixtures, or doorknobs. They actually found lighting (wall sconces, overhead fixtures, and table lamps) that I actually love, not just tolerate. Jeff was also able to deal with my family "stuff"; I come from generations who happily acquired (and kept) furniture, art, oriental rugs, and a multitude of accessories. Needless to say, most of these items needed attention - cleaning, reupholstering, refurbishing, or repairing. Each was sent off to the appropriate craftsman. The team was able to combine my old pieces with new furnishings that complement the old and fit in beautifully. Even the move itself went smoothly, largely due to the capable movers and packers recommended by Jeff, and the fact that all the rooms were meticulously planned prior to the move. Sheats even handled having the art hung and items placed in the display cabinets. Having a design group that "knows people" made everything simpler. And for me, having a designer comfortable with color (and lots of it) has made my new home very warm and welcoming.

I've picked out my own paint colors in the past and always regretted doing so. This is an expense that is well worth the investment!
