Design Home 2012 ...

The Boston Magazine Design Home 2012 in Norwell is open for just a couple more days (extended thru November 18th). The interior design coordinator for this project, Vani Sayeed, was a contributor to the last issue of New England Finery (she shares her style tips here). It was a real treat to experience her thoughtful design planning throughout this well-appointed, architecturally detailed home. Here is just a glimpse of some of the spaces that I saw while enjoying the tour. If you get the chance, make the trip and see it for yourself ... there are lots of inspiring design ideas to take home. All proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern New England.  

Vani was recently interviewed by fellow designer Cecilia Walker.

Simply Cool Stuff ...

Seen on Simply Cool Stuff: a design coaching project of mine

While I am often interviewing others for design stories that I write for New England Finery Magazine or the Lynnfield Patch, this week, I was the one being interviewed by Maria Wheeler of the blog, Simply Cool Stuff. I met Maria when she was offering some of her vintage treasures for sale at New England Fine Living. Along with collecting and selling antiques (find her shop on etsy), Maria is also a talented landscape designer. She shares what she knows about both of these subjects (and so much more!) on her blog.

I recently featured Maria’s A, B, C’s of Antiques series in the summer issue of New England Finery, and then she turned around and interviewed me for letter I, “Interior Design Coach.”
