Events & Happenings

I met our photographer, Michael Lee, at 9 this morning to shoot the vignette Sally and I set up last week for this year’s Wenham Museum North Shore Design Show. By 11 we’d taken 5 shots. About 15 minutes ago, this image arrived in my email’s inbox…

Almost a shame that Sally and I are dismantling it and doing a new one on Thursday evening…

Cheers,

If you’d like us to design your dream interior, contact us here.

Today, I had our web designers, Bartlett Interactive, add a spam filter to the site. Over the past few months spam reached the point of intolerance… For my regular readers and contributors, hope you will understand and tolerate the inconvenience. PLEASE keep contributing!!!

Cheers,

John

BTW: If you’re in need of a great web designer or help with your blog and social media, we’ve been thrilled with our friends from Bartlett Interactive. They designed our website and helped us when we updated our blog format last year. Right now, they’re in the process of helping us add a Scrapbook Section to the Portfolio page and an improved Contact page. Soon to follow, Kitchen and Bath pages to the Portfolio page as well. Change is a constant in our industry…

Here’s the final presentation Sally and I put together and submitted to the Museum last Friday. This was a lot of fun as we did the entire board and submittal electronically. We’re very proud of our efforts!

The enlarged floor plan.

We have lined up some of the key pieces at this point. The contemporary chairs will be coming from the Martin Group, area rugs from Landry & Arcari, the floor lamps and coffee table will be custom, designed by WKD and produced by Hammersmith Studio. Accessories are always done at the last minute… We’re still looking to source the sideboard/table (picture with red wall), the rustic painted bookcase and the small wood side chair is very much up in the air. I’m sure we will find them all. (Our apologies for the poor color rendition of the fabrics and carpets on the presentation board.)

A few other odds and ends… The small sofa is actually an antique Italian recamier Sally and I have in our inventory. (BTW – the recamier is for sale, available after the show. We have four of the above columns/pedestals in our inventory, too. Contact us for details).

We will cover it in an off white linen slip cover, and use a large down filled body pillow covered in a matching linen for the back cushion. Silk pillows will round it out.

Sally and I will be giving periodic updates between now and when the show begins on May 12.

Got to run… It’s very a busy week…

Cheers,
