Last week, I featured this amazing home for sale in Illinois, decorated by one of my favorite interior decorators, Ruthie Sommers. I have been obsessing over her work lately, and I thought it would be fun to feature another home in Illinois that she decorated. It is from the March 2014 issue of House Beautiful, but it is definitely worth revisiting. Built in 1926, this French Provincial style house is located in Lake Forest, Illinois. Sommers layered cheerful colors and patterns to create a happy house that exudes an old-school preppy vibe. Let’s take a look inside!
I am so in love with this gorgeous home! To learn more about the inspiration behind the design, you can read an interview with Sommers from House Beautiful here.

Funny, I have the HB tear sheet of the LR on my bulletin board in my home office! Love that white painted brick and the pretty, effortless palette !
