Meet Julia Archer of Archer Ceramics, one of the artists featured at O’Brien Harris during this year’s RNDD Gallery Walk.

Working from her Oak Park studio, Julia draws inspiration from architectural forms and surface textures to create timeless, functional stoneware. Each piece is thrown by hand and thoughtfully glazed, with subtle marks and variations left visible as part of the making process.

Michael Coates, artist and owner of Wilderhouse, looks to the natural world for inspiration.

Raised in Northern California, Michael draws from the mountains, forests, and coastal landscapes of his youth. Sandy, earth-toned clays and neutral glazes evoke those environments, while collected shells, driftwood, and stones inform his process and give his work a tangible connection to the landscapes that inspire it.

Discover Michael’s work at The Art of Entertaining during the RNDD Gallery Walk, September 11 from 5–8 p.m. at O’Brien Harris.

Great design goes beyond the cabinetry, it’s about how the space comes to life. Layered lighting combines ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a butler’s pantry that’s as functional as it is inviting. The result is a space that feels warm, intentional, and ready for every occasion.

Thoughtful details make all the difference. Visit our showroom to explore custom cabinetry designed around the way you live.

It’s the details that transform cabinetry into craftsmanship.

Custom leaded glass panels add depth, texture, and architectural character to these display cabinets, turning everyday storage into a design feature. Paired with furniture-inspired detailing and a rich walnut drawer interior, every element was thoughtfully selected to create a space that’s both beautiful and enduring.

If you’re planning a custom home, don’t overlook the details, they’re what make a space uniquely yours.

This kitchen was never lacking in quality, but a collection of dated details kept it from reaching its full potential. Without changing the footprint, thoughtful updates gave the space a timeless new perspective. From refined finishes and wood beams to clean lines and custom detailing, every element was carefully considered to create a kitchen designed to stand the test of time, and remain the true heart of the home.
