Dining Room by Frances Elkins |
If you follow Chinoiserie Chic, you may recall that I grew up in Lake Forest, Illinois among the great estates of the Chicago area. I was fortunate to visit many of these fabulous homes of classmates' families.
Frances Adler Elkins was the sister of famous architect David Adler and considered one of the twentieth century's most prominent decorators. She collaborated with her architect brother on 15 homes including in Lake Forest.
