In the past few years Andersonville has gotten quite a reputation as must-go-to place for everything for the home, from furniture and home accessories to one-of-a-kind antiques and art.  One of the tastemaking entreprenuers who has helped bolster this image of Andersonville is Paul Lechinski.  His boutique Room Service features vintage mid-century modern furnishings, decorative objects, art and garden elements for the home.  His eclectic mix of past and present is great for anyone who appreciates form, function and most importantly comfort.

Our Favorite Thing from Room Service featured in the Andersonville Holiday Gift Guide would not seem to be a home item per se, although it is hard not to imagine it being incredibly useful when throwing a fabulous cocktail party.  These Table Topics-Conversation Starters ($25) come in three sets and feature cards designed to get your guests talking and laughing with such questions as “When is it right to place your needs above others?” (Right or Wrong) or “Which ’60s fashion that you wore is now most embarrassing?” (The 60s Decade).  So be the life of the party when holding your martini in one had and asking “What celebrity are you embarrassed to find attractive?” (Not Your Mother’s Dinner Party).  A great gift for those who like to entertain.

Also featured from Room Service are a Wood Handle Corkscrew and Kobo Candle Collection.

Room Service, 5438 N. Clark, 773-878-5438.  Holiday hours:  Sunday-Wednesday 12:00 noon – 6:00 pm, Thursday-Saturday 11:00 am – 7:00 pm.
