River’s Edge

Galena, Illinois

Rustic yet refined, this one-time trapper’s shack speaks volumes about its Mississippi River setting. And the message is clear: even the most casual weekend retreat can – and should – articulate the very same comforts and quality we expect of a primary residence. Here, the vocabulary includes patina, pattern and texture, layered atop warm woods, hand-embroidered fabrics, stenciled floors, and vintage textiles – all declaring a well-defined sense of place. A canoe floats above a carefully edited collection of objects and accessories gathered from around the world, including antique Oriental rugs. Together, they express sophisticated cabin coziness in singular style, and proclaim their readiness to welcome family memory-making.
