This is one of the most exciting days of the entire year at the BDC where new trends and products in interior design and color are highlighted in a day full of special events and speakers.

South Shore Oceanside Penthouse: A Trip to the Boston Design Center
Aug 28 2013 ·2It’s time for an update to the Penthouse interior design project I introduced you to last month! To date, I’ve shared the space in its ‘Before’ state, you can refresh your memory here.

This allows me to select the best furniture and accessory choices for our design, set up appointments with my representatives and have some fabric samples ready for my presentation. This way the client can more easily envision the finished space and our visit is focused and efficient.
