Ep. 255: Breaking Design Rules with Summer Thornton
May 31, 2022
We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Summer Thornton to the show. Her work has appeared in Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, House Beautiful, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, as well as on the recent cover of Veranda. Her style is described as maximalist with a modern sensibility, whimsical textiles, bold art, and surprising patterns. She also wrote a fabulous and fun new book called Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating. We talk all about Summer’s fantastic use of colors, how to break the rules, and how if you really love something it’s never “too much”!
Set in Chicago's most prestigious Co-Op building, Summer Thornton was brought-in to breathe new life and a fresh perspective to this 1929 Rosario Candela designed building.
VERANDA is where exceptional taste lives. Every issue is filled with sophisticated style, home, garden, art, travel, and entertaining content to celebrate the very best in gracious living.
