Chicago Decorative Works

🫠 y'all, I am being tested, and honestly, I am losing!!! I just can't deal right now, but I will get through it. I'm going to take my time reassembling the shelves, and I will brace them properly this time (I forgot), as well as better organize all the product. There will be more items coming to the sale section of the website and hopefully less weight for me to carry overall. I'm trying my best, but I have a lot going on outside of this place, too 🥲

The last plaster I've created a board for is this 1/2 Summer Nights metallic texture, similar in family to benjamin moore 777. Inspired by waves shimmering in the sun, this sample needed 4 steps and features Eclat from Nova Color. I've got a 2 gallon bucket of it ready for purchase. I am still getting through the shelves, so I anticipate I'll have some more one-off buckets on their way to you!

I made a quick 3-step sample to show off this moody purple metallic plaster I have on sale on the site right now. It's a 3 1/2 gallon bucket in a color very similar to benjamin moore mountain ridge 1456. Get it before it's gone!

I will be closing the studio this year! I tried so freaking hard to make it work, but I just didn't get the support I needed, so I am done. The downsize will be temporary as I work through things before I shut the doors permanently in November/December. I've done everything I could think of and then some, and it's time to walk away!! I will not be talked back into this again. The warehouse sale is still going, and I will be adding more sections in the coming weeks, including completed sample boards I have made (with the recipe), used tools and stencils, open classroom supplies, and more.

I've been feeling really overwhelmed this week, so if I haven't gotten back to you yet, please bear with me!! My final sample (for a bit) was inspired by yet another wallpaper using materials I already had on hand, including some Red Dragon tinsel from . I'm looking forward to a few days off coming up over Independence Day. Have a great weekend, everyone!
