A Timeless Home with New England Flair & Resort-Style Outdoor Living

Step inside this beautifully updated 1920s Illinois home where interior designer Rosemary Wormley blended New England coastal charm with timeless furnishings and personal artwork.

Rosemary found this Northfield home while mid-renovation at their now-former Winnetka home and fell in love with the home's large property, pool area, and New England flair. She thoughtfully refreshed the home to create a warm, inviting space perfect for entertaining and everyday family life.

Her family's home is a true entertainer’s dream, with a sparkling pool, outdoor dining area, lush garden, and tennis court. Inside, the large family room offers cozy spaces for watching TV, chatting, and dining, complete with a unique bar area for casual entertaining. The spacious kitchen was designed for cooking and gathering, while the airy living room features modular seating and a beautiful piano for music.

Rosemary launched Ash Street Interiors over 10 years ago after working in the communications and nonprofit fundraising fields. She turned her design hobby into a full firm after a previous gut renovation where she shadowed her contractor and learned the tricks of the trade, and she decided to jump full-time into interior design.
