I love design, and I know when something is done well, but I’m no designer. So I’m excited to introduce “Wake Up Wednesday”, our newest series here on DesignBoston featuring local interior designer Ana Donohue! We all have that room with no moldings, no architectural detail, or we have that room that is great architecturally but still needs that something special. Think …

Just like last year, ICFF fell on the same weekend as the SoWa Art Walk. Lucky for me, VenuView’s Crystal J. Silva went and offered her thoughts on the happenings in the South End. Thanks Crystal! It couldn?t have been a better day for the opening of the 2010 season of SoWa Open Market and the SoWA Art Walk! The occasional gusts …

You can do ICFF in a day, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Christopher and I took an early bus down to New York on Saturday for the first day of ICFF 2010, and came back that night, getting back to Boston around 3:00AM. In between those two four-hour bus rides, there was much design to be had. The general feel of the day …

Well, hello! My name is Meg, and I’m the most recent addition to the team here at Design Boston. I’ve been a reader since I met the founder, and now — after my two week old move to this fine city — I’m a contributor! If you’ve been reading DB for very long, you already know this blog provides an authoritative and appreciative voice …

Some people are strict modernists. Others, pure classicists. But I’d guess most people would fall somewhere in between, just as Boston-area interior designer Ana Donahue’s clients did. They were looking a space that “would be appealing to both a contemporary and traditional aesthetic, with a kid friendly twist.” To achieve this, Ana combined shapes, patterns and fabrics with bold colors in a …

Week 7 – Bedroom This past week I shopped a lot for colored accents to use in our bedroom with no luck! I just couldn’t find anything I liked. However upon shopping around in my own home I managed to find enough green accessories like frames, vases, and a pillow to use in the bedroom to brighten it up just a little. …

That’s right, the last sale.  Vessel Inc is in the process of closing its retail location in Chinatown. From the very beginning, Vessel has been run with inegrity and a sense of humor.  It will be a shame to see the retail location close.  Everything from the products to the people will be missed.  The events were informative and well-attended.  The product …

Week 6 – update Light therapy didn’t really happen for us this week! Aside from not having time and money to find solutions to our lighting problem, the hanging lamp from ikea we purchased didn’t seem to work out either! So I think this will just need to take more time. However, the bathrooms are spotless and reorganized! We added a mirror …

If you’ve ever sat through a discussion or film at any of Boston’s historic colleges, you’ll recognize the problem MIT had at Simmons Hall: An “array of simple, ?at upholstered benches set on cast-in-place concrete steps” proved difficult for the various types of events and gatherings that happened there — musical and theatrical productions, ?lm screenings, and lectures, and more. To solve …

This week started off strong and then dwindled very quickly! We were a bit distracted with our baby to do list this week. But I started off the week cleaning out our wall of white cabinets, attempting to make more space. I managed to gain 3 extra shelves! No doubt that those shelves will get filled quickly, but it’s a start. …

Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by Rachel and Alon Munzer of Hungry Mother.  The talk was a part of Vessel’s 2010 Lecture Series and it offered an interesting peek at the restaurant industry. From the humble beginnings of Rachel’s Kitchen to their critically acclaimed Cambridge eatery Hungry Mother, Rachel and Alon Munzer’s passion for what they do …

While scouring the interwebs for this week’s Handmade Monday designer, Meg pointed at my monitor and exclaimed, “That’s GORGEOUS!” So, this week’s pick is not only beautiful, it’s girlfriend-approved. Ripegoods the brainchild of mother-daughter team Kathie and Lindsey Fieldman, who had the original concept in 2007. “What began as inspiration from a simple desire to share beautiful photographic images and to find …

This week was fairly productive for us. We started off setting up both our office’s. Last weekend were able to move Kevin’s office downstairs from the loft and we managed to set up his office up AND create an office for me as well! Still some work to be done in that area but that will happen this upcoming week (week …

I recently had a chance to meet and spend some time with interior designer Heidi Pribell at her store/studio in Cambridge. I got to learn about Heidi’s career, from studying at the New York School of Interior Design, to starting an antiques shop on Charles Street in Beacon Hill, to starting Heidi Pribell Interiors in 1996. I also discovered that Heidi is …

This weekend we played Tetris with our furniture (with a little help from our friends!) We moved Kevin’s office, that was up in the loft, and what now will be the nursery, downstairs to our work area. Moved the stainless steel table, that was in the work area, to our dinning room area, and moved our old dining table out of …

It took way too long, finding the processing limits of my MacBook, and solving an upload issue with my video hosting provider, but we have it: video of Steve Glenn’s recent talk at DWR. On a drizzly Thursday night — nothing compared to what we’ve had for the last few days, mind you — over 35 architects, designers and design fans gathered …

Stephen is a Boston-based architect, teacher, and design show host. I recently had the chance to interview Stephen about his work — both in architecture and on television — and his life. Trained at Harvard, Stephen cut his teeth at Richard Meier and Partners in New York, and Machado Silvetti in Boston. He was Design Director at Urbanica before ultimately starting Stephen …

This week we are supposed to be focusing on our “landing strip”. You know the place where all your junk (coat, bag, sunglasses, mail ect.) ends up at the end of the day. Last year I focused on this area pretty heavily, so much so in fact we ended up with 2 landing strips! (see below) This year I plan on …
