Tuesday Trend : DNE salon series

A trend that we are thoroughly enjoying is 

Design New England's Salon series.  

We have attended them, presented at them 

and now we have hosted one of them.  

Two weeks ago we opened our doors to fifty plus guests who came to hear 

four leading designers in their fields: 

Oliver Bouchier from PAYNE/BOUCHIER, Fine Builders, 

Matthew Cunningham from Matthew Cunningham Landscape Design, 

Michael Collins from D. Michael Collins Architects 

and our own

Judy O'Neil Labins from Shafer O'Neil Interior Design.

It was a magical evening. 

Design New England brought goodie bags for all the guests.

Filled with treats from each presenter.

Before the presentation there was time to socialize and look around the shop.

Held in inspiring locations, DNE's salon series is a platform where one gets to peak into the mind of the leading designers in the Boston area.   Here is a listing of the venues and themes from this Spring:

Design New England highlights the exceptional interiors, architecture, and gardens of exclusive private homes in New England, inspiring our readers’ imaginations about the way they want to live. A focus on the design concepts and decisions behind these stunning spaces provides the connection our readers need to make their dreams a reality.
 
A variety of styles, from contemporary to traditional, is included in the features in each issue, in keeping with the vast array of design talent in New England. Rounding out the magazine's point of view are interviews and conversations with leading design innovators of the day.
