Stone House Collective
4518 N. OAKLAND AVE.
The North Shore-based interior design firm opened its 4,300-square-foot retail store earlier this year, boasting a curated selection of luxe but laid-back furniture and home decor (think new and vintage artwork, picture frames, lamps and assorted objects). If your bed could use a refresh, Stone House is the only retailer in the state that carries premium bedding brand Parachute. A gorgeous chef’s kitchen shows off the firm’s design prowess.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
