URBAN SALON: Wicker Park Salon

The project began with a complete demolition of the interior. All building materials were either salvaged or contained recycled content, all paints used are low VOC, all plumbing fixtures used are low flow and Eco friendly. 3CC constructed all new walls, installed new doors, base and case moldings, installed all low voltage data and phone systems, repaired and refinished the flooring systems, removed and rebuilt the kitchens and bathrooms, built the new wash station area, installed all millwork, lighting packages, new mechanical systems, and completed renovations of the facade, etc. Highlighted in the imagery above is the Reception and lounge area and a wall installation designed by The Mighty Bear Cats.
The Circle Salon is located in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago. Take a look at http://thecirclesalon.com/ We appreciate the opportunity to meet and work with like minded individuals.

THOUGHTS: A favorite

Asrai Garden is one of my favorite local Chicago business. Owner Elizabeth Cronin has a selection of regional and local flowers, plants, eclectic art and cards (most of which are made by local designers and artists), hand crafted candles and apothecary, amongst many other great little items. Some of the cards that are sold are produced by her staff, including my favorite, Mid West card, which one staff member (Rose) produced the art work and the final product.

The aesthetic that Asrai garden produces (in my humble opinion) is forward thinking, comforting, familiar, classic, and with all of the local artists and designer goods packed into the little shop, it's a special place. I would buy just about everything in the store. It's Chicago, it's home grown and it's one of a kind.
