A trade program built around the sourcing relationship.
Most trade programs just give you a number off the ticket price. This one gives you access to what's not widely available, lines that require a showroom relationship, materials that don't live in an online portal, and a team that can help you source beyond what's on the floor.
If you're specifying a project and need something we don't have out, ask. That's what we're here for.
Built for how designers actually work.
The sample drawers pull out. The tables are yours. Bring a client or come in alone, the space and the materials are set up for the way a project actually moves.
Different by design.
Most trade programs give you a number off the ticket price. Ours gives you access to what isn't available anywhere else — lines that require a showroom relationship, materials that don't live in an online portal, and a team that treats your project like it matters. If you already have your vendors, we're not trying to replace them. We're the sourcing partner for the things they can't get you.
-
Little Greene Paint & Paper, David Hunt Lighting, and MindTheGap are lines your current vendors don't carry. If your project calls for them, this is the only place in the Midwest to source them.
-
Tell us what you need. We source it, place the order, and track it through to delivery. You stay focused on the project. We handle the vendor side.
-
Appointments outside standard retail hours, scheduled around your projects and your clients, not our walk-in traffic.
-
Layout, finish, and hardware selection for kitchen, bath, and built-in projects. Extend what you offer without adding overhead.
-
Bring your clients in. The showroom is set up for it — materials, finishes, and hardware all in one room, ready for a real conversation. No Merchandise Mart. No 45-minute trip downtown.
-
The whole collection is in reach. Pull stone against paint against wallcovering until the room clicks. Build your boards here, leave them, come back to them.
-
Custom drapery and window treatments from specification through fabrication through our on-site workroom. No separate vendor to manage.
-
Available on most lines. We walk you through what applies when your account is confirmed.
