recently we had the pleasure of linking up with a pair of incredible interior designers based in chicago. robin and greg of grid gallery, stopped by the store last week and chatted it up with us. they saw our article in ur magazine and the loved the concept of the store. upon finding out they were interior designers- it was a match made it heaven. sooo many of their pieces are exact fits for solemates...crazy! i stopped by the gallery and loved it!! they were undergoing a small renovation, but it did not take away from the vibe. you must stop by...below are pics of the space and greg on our new couch (which is for sale). the couch was a perfect new addition for our grand opening party...love it!
