Next Up - Nathan Nichols

One of the highlights of my recent vacation was visiting Nathan Nichols & Company. Nichols has been in Door County, Wisconsin since 2000. That's when he officially became THE local interior designer and go-to for beautiful home goods. Before moving North, Nichols was with Baker Furniture in Kohler, Wisconsin. If you ever have the chance to explore this historically design-rich town, I'd recommend it. I'd also guide you to visit his two stores, one in Ephraim and the flagship in Bailey's Harbor. Here's a peek inside.Decorating trend: I love these paperbacks stripped of their covers and backings and tied with leather cord. Whether they're stacked or grouped, they're eye catching.
