I was very happy to be introduced to the work of Chicago designer
Michael Del Piero. I find I'm often attracted to interiors that have an unexpected twist to them and love the eclectic mix of elements and the contrast of textures in her work. I think the styling of this secretary is perfection - love the bit of blue painted finish that shows off to the left side.
The artwork over this secretary is a perfect complement to this nook by the stairs.
Looking more closely at this room, I noticed the different shapes in the legs of the coffee table, stools and chairs and how well they play off each other and add interest to this very calm and relaxing space.
The oversized floral arrangment on the tray really stands out to me. Love all the accent pieces - they add a lot of warmth and patina to the space. Great chairs too!
Isn't this kitchen fabulous! Love the choice of the narrow table and the random, but so well placed, arrangement of plates. They really make this space.
Some good news -Michael also owns the
Good Design Studio and Home Furnishings Boutique located at 1914 N. Damen Avenue in Chicago where she offers accessories, lighting and furniture. My favorite piece in her collection right now is a pair of antique French polished
iron chairs. I'm going to be in Chicago in June for business and am definitely putting her store on my must-visit list.

You caught me with the first photo -- I love that secretary. For that matter I love a home with secretaries or desks throughout the house.
The plates in the kitchen are great. I have a mixed collection I keep meaning to hang -- maybe this help me do it!

Just like you mentioned, the blue peaking out on the first image is so great, and then the artwork picks up on the same blue...I would be pleased as punch with myself if I had created that awesome vignette!
Oh my this is gorgeous! I love the art chosen for the space. The design work is superb.

These are right up my alley- I love the mix of materials, furniture and all the different styles. It makes all these rooms so interesting to look at.
I loved Michael Del Piero's work- Just Beautiful!!! You are sooo right about the art work!! The textures rock. The spaces are calm, comfortable, ecelectic, modern, and interesting all at the same time.

Oh, I love this. Clean, sculptural and so well-edited.
The fabulous part about Michael is how she listens, creating spaces with unique personalities that reflect the heart and souls of her clients and her own artistry. Michael has completed many projects for me and every time she manages to find and integrate the most amazing objects into a coherent picture. I could never think about using anyone else for my personal spaces AND she respects my budget.
There is so much to like and appreciate here. The kitchen with the random plates speaks to me. The iron chair is to die for...any clue on the price? This is just sort of thing to get me really obsessed!!!
WOW! This is the first time I've seen her work. Michel Del Piero is fantastic. Loved every scene she created. Unusual, soothing, exciting, and gorgeous all at the same time. Let's see more!
Thanks for all these comments. Acanthus & Acorn - I think the pair of chairs is $12500.
LOVE the iron chair.
Wow, just gorgeous. Proves the point that less is so often very much more.

Just got your note...holy crap!!!
Yes, this is one of those times where RH or PB needs to step up to the plate and help a girl out. Course if I am being honest, I don't want everyone else to have them...HA!
