There will soon be "Design Within Reach" in the Milwaukee area. The furniture store, which first opened in San Francisco, Calif., is planning a Third Ward location -- the chain's first in Wisconsin.
So, if you've been dying to deck your home in designer duds, you'll finally get the chance. "Design" is a store which is bridging the gap between the designer storerooms and the furniture buying public. Most of the furniture is of the modern genre, but all the pieces are functional.
Stay tuned to OMC for more information on the Third Ward shop. The Web site is dwr.com.
Originally from Des Plaines, Ill., Heather moved to Milwaukee to earn a B.A. in journalism from Marquette University. With a tongue-twisting last name like Leszczewicz, it's best to go into a career where people don't need to say your name often.
However, she's still sticking to some of her Illinoisan ways (she won't reform when it comes to things like pop, water fountain or ATM), though she's grown to enjoy her time in the Brew City.
Although her journalism career is still budding, Heather has had the chance for some once-in-a-lifetime interviews with celebrities like actor Vince Vaughn and actress Charlize Theron, director Cameron Crowe and singers Ben Kweller and Isaac Hanson of '90s brother boy band Hanson.
Heather's a self-proclaimed workaholic but loves her entertainment. She's a real television and movie fanatic, book nerd, music junkie, coffee addict and pop culture aficionado.
