every visit to the boston design center is fun for me but wednesday night was especially so! i went with my pal jen from @thechronicles of home to the innovators in design panel which i'll get to in a second but we got there a little early to take it all in. it's usually quiet when i go for regular client needs so it was nice to see a buzz!
when you come in and walk back toward the elevators, stark in on the left and it was on point for the fall season.
we then went up to the 5th floor where some of my favorite studios are and got a sneak peek of the heading home to dinner event space where each table was done by a different designer. they also styled a bar cart and this one stole my heart!
we stopped in schumacher where i found this rug and honestly i may have snapped this photo before but i can't remember and it's just so good that it deserves another shot! ;)
all of the walls at the design center are wrapped in phillip jeffries grasscloth and it's so yummy. the art installations are so pretty in the halls!
the main event was the design innovators panel where we heard from peter sallick, ceo of waterworks and dering hall, lee rotenberg, co-founder of ivy (a product i use and love - see my interview with them here), and timur yumusaklar, ceo of schumacher. needless to say it was a great panel and everyone was super engaging.
after the panel, all attendees were invited to a reception at the newly completed waterworks showroom which was FAB. when you walk in there is an INSANE kitchen immediately on the right. they really did a beautiful job.
when i think of waterworks, i tend to think of bathrooms moreso and there was no shortage of bathroom inspiration!
so many faucet and fixture choices.
i instagrammed this little butler's pantry area and i'm completely obsessed. the tile is divine.
obviously we had the best time and the boston design market is already on my list for next year. the best part is that absolutely anyone who loves design is welcome to come so if you're local to the boston area, or you'll be in town, put this event on your list for next year too! and put a visit to the BDC on your calendar for any time of year. :)
