Junior League Show House 2016: The Nathaniel Allen House
Jun 16 2016 ·0This Spring the Junior League of Boston celebrated the 45th Anniversary Show House in at the Nathaniel Allen House in Newton.
Years ago I participated in the Arlington Show House in Boston and created the “Make Way for Ducklings Nursery”. Participating in a show house project is a perfect way for seasoned and new designers to gain attention and recognition for their designs. Each show house is an event and typically there are several parties, media days, and press as well as opportunities to mix and mingle with fellow designers and landscape artists.
I have attended the last couple of Show Houses as a guest and went again this year with my dear friend Paul..and we both agreed, things have changed.
This is the house as I entered…

A Visit to the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, Part 2
Oct 16 2013 ·1Continuing on with our tour of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, I have more pictures of more beautiful spaces to share!
First stop, this “tented” atrium area. I love the connection with the outdoor green space here along with the zippy Jonathan Adler fabric on the pillows.
Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, Part 1
Oct 15 2013 ·0Last week I traveled to New York with fellow Boston-area interior designer and friend, Laurie Gorelick, to preview the newly renovated Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. It was the most spectacular makeover I could have imagined!
As you may know, the Ronald McDonald House is a haven for families, a home-like place to stay while their child is receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital. There are many Ronald McDonald Houses all over the country including one here in Boston.
This particular Ronald McDonald House on Long Island was started in 1981 under the leadership Lyn Jurick, a powerhouse of a woman, who is still involved to this day. She had the help of many, including her designers William Diamond and Anthony Baratta. The house has served many families over the years and was in need of some tender loving care.
There’s Nothing Like a Junior League Show House!
