Beautiful Blues

Main Image Interior Design: Summit Drive Design | Photographer Aliza Baran

With a portfolio ranging from homes in Milwaukee to vacation getaways in Door County, Meghan Posnanski of Summit Drive Design is a master at creating fresh and youthful interiors for her clients.

“My clients wanted something fun and unique for their Whitefish Bay [owner ́s] master bedroom, but didn’t know where to start,” says Posnanski. “We sorted through bags of samples and they were instantly drawn to Schumacher’s Hydrangea fabric (shown above). That was our starting point for the design, and we took it from there to build a color scheme for the space.”
