Like I do whenever I am visiting someplace new or that I have not been to in a while, I did my homework. I have found the the City Guides published on Design Sponge to be incredibly helpful. The article on Milwaukee did not disappoint and provided quite a few worthy stops. The Home Market in the city's burgeoning Third Ward was one of those. So I dragged my family along to check it out...
What a delightful shop! My husband felt it immediately, The Home Market was fully aligned with my personal style, filled with products that exude high style and sophistication, but are approachable and fun.
Products like Dash & Albert rugs,
stunning and unique lighting,
framed Hugo Guinness Prints,
textiles from Japan,
John Robshaw and Bella Notte linens,
simple, yet lovely furniture, art work, accessories and many customizable items, I could go on and on!

The Home Market also offers design services...
The shop's delightful proprietor, Kate Barrette is a Wisconsin native, University of Wisconsin-Madison grad and former Director of National Retail Sales for Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic. Her design sensibility and the store are an amalgamation of these experiences and her personality.

Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design?
If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Design Concept Board or a complete Room Rx.

This looks like my kind of place! I wish we had something similar close to me - now i'm going to be on the hunt. I recently saw a Milwaukee feature on Oh Joy! as well - they had some really cool spots highlighted (this shop may have been one of them).
What a great store! My sister who lives in NYC was in Milwaukee last summer and loved it. Who knew?!?!
Looks like a great little shop. How fun that you had a chance to explore and even to meet the owner! Did anything go home with you?
WOW, love that store! My sister in law lives in Cedarburg...It too has some great stores! Thanks for sharing!
