retail inspiration {for the home}

I don't typically look to commercial interior design for inspiration but restaurants and retails stores really can spark an idea or palette that can translates well into a residential space. Neapolitan, a retail store outside of Chicago, is one of my favorites to visit when I go home. I always thought it was just because I loved running my fingers over all the stunning designer clothes but it also most likely because it is incredibly well designed by Cindy Galvin of Bardes Interiors and Maze Home.

I love the vintage vogue covers and quatrefoil studding at the cash register.

And what brilliant covering for the swinging doors.

Not to mention the soothing coral and slate color palette that perfectly mimics the pucci dress on display. Yes, all very inspiring ideas that could easily and beautifully work in a home.

Great photos! I can definitely see the cash register as a bar or even a headboard for a home.

LOVE the nail heads on the from of the register. Very timely as I have been dreaming of nail heads in my last 2 blog posts.
The cash register is a timeless piece.

Have a great weekend, xo!

I love this! A way more glam version of my living room palette. Just the inspiration to make a few updates.

Oh, wow! I just found your beautiful blog and was surprised and thrilled to see this posting about my work at neapolitan! It was and still is my favorite store for couture fashion. Kelly Golden is a wonderful person and has exquisite taste.

Looks like you're far from home (hope Jackson Hole is warmer than here on this below-zero-wind-chill day!) but I hope next time you're in Winnetka you'll stop by the store and say hello! We're just down the block from neapolitan.

Best of luck with your blog. It's wonderful!

Cindy
