If you found yourself surrounded by the sounds of nature and the scent of rosewater, you were likely in Evan Millard's space in the West Cottage of the Lake Forest Showhouse. With the original cedar planking & design intent as the backdrop, Evan's Center Retreat was designed as a place to unwind and relax. With inspiration taken from nature, lush plantings were punctuated by the sounds of trickling water. To bring the outdoors in, Nashville-based artist John Besser used a soft palette of blues and greys from Benjamin Moore to create the nearly 20’ floor-to-ceiling landscape. Woven wicker, golden-toned textiles & original works of art were thoughtfully layered to create an atmosphere of tranquility & peace. Did you see Evan's space, and if so, what was your favorite element in it?
