On Sept. 12, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery welcomed design enthusiasts into its new showroom in Highland Park. The event, hosted by Signature Hardware and Chicago magazine, featured an interactive panel of home and design experts discussing the latest color trends and the secret to creating spaces that speak to your personal style. Guests created mood boards, crafted their own cocktails, and enjoyed gourmet bites provided by Chef by Request. Florals were provided by All in Bloom Designs and one lucky guest went home with a $1,000 Signature Hardware gift card.
