Rutherford Hill Names Chi Designer as Spokes

HGTV Star Monica Pedersen Nabs a New Gig www.rutherfordhill.com

by stephanie miller

Her work has been featured in all major Chicago shelter pubs, including North Shore Magazine, CS Interiors, Chicago Home and Gardens, and the Chicago Tribune. She’s the host of HGTV’s Designed to Sell and Dream Home.

Who is this season’s “It” girl?

Chicago-based designer Monica Pedersen, naturally.

In addition to racking up the design accolades, Pedersen is now a bona fide spokesperson for Rutherford Hill wine, part of Terlato Wines – the Lake Bluff, Illinois-based juggernut of a wine empire that oversees the production and management of uber popular wineries such as Chimney Rock (one of my personal faves), Alderbrook, Seven Daughters, and Tangley Oaks.

To jumpstart her partnership with Rutherford Hill, last weekend Pedersen shot video and photography at the 14,000 square-foot Landsdowne Estate in Lake Bluff. The Orren Pickell-built luxury estate was the perfect backdrop for the oenophile and her new gig.

Rutherford Hill will soon be launching a national contest where one winner will receive an entertaining makeover from Pedersen who’ll be on hand to offer up entertaining tips for the perfect wine pour, design aesthetics, and complementary recipes.
