Third Coast Classic

A classicist and Chicagoan since birth, Margaret collects images, words, and moments where she can find them. She loves anything labeled classic, traditional, or preppy and was probably born in the wrong era (i.e., one without hats). If it involves Chicago, the most wonderful hometown, you can bet she's there. Cheers to travel, interior design, glittering jewels and an aspirational life!

Original Potter Palmer stone townhouse in the gold Coast of Chicago circa 1880s.
