Homeboy (CLOSED)

Thanks to his time spent as an interior designer at the Merchandise Mart, Ripley Worthy has met a lot of interesting local designers. And he’s featuring many of them in this Lakeview home-accessories shop. With prices appealing to renters on chain-store shopping budgets, this boutique includes dishware from the hip Circa Ceramics ($18–$70), Chicago cityscape prints by Blair Harvey ($40–$80) and even Worthy’s own line of salvaged furniture reupholstered with scraps he collects at the Mart.
