Created by Patt Murray in 1979 and inspired by a mix of the 18th century French "salon" model-- (a group of
people who gather to exchange ideas) and "Be Here Now"-- (Baba Ram Dass’s book about the
pleasure of existence), As You Like It is in its 4th incarnation on the second floor of the Leffingwell
Building in Evanston.
Upon entering, our guests are able to discuss or to listen,to feel at ease or travel deep into thought, to be
and enjoy. A true "salon" allows us to consider the new and rethink the old on the way to finding individual solutions
for each guest, keeping our craft alive and vibrant.
We invite you to benefit from the expert craftsmanship, excellent design work, caring service, and personal responsibility
that our guests have come to expect.
