Below is the second segment I did for NECN's Style Watch! This dining room in the same floor-through, right off the great-room, seen in the first segment here. 







I blogged about the before & after transformation here. As you can see, I added a huge piece of abstract art in the dining room in place of the French gilded mirror. I was really drawn to this huge abstract piece by Jeffery Terreson, I loved it's vibrant colors and how unexpected it is in this space....

Terreson's dramatic and unique encaustic technique, adds an major texture and color splash in this otherwise very traditional space. It's no wonder Jeffery's gorgeous work is collected by tastemakers such as, Ralph Lauren and Joseph Abboud and many others in the fashion/art world in beyond...

Newbury Fine Arts is one of my favorite local Galleries, they represent Jeffery Terreson -- if your ever in on Newbury Street, you should check out owner Liz Novick's amazing Gallery & collections!

Here are some other pieces of Terreson's I love...

Working with Anna Rossi, and the team at NECN Style Watch,  and the Boston Design center on these two segments was such a blast! Thank you for the great opportunity!

Charles in Charge -

Charles Spada, Kristine Mullaney - Hampshire House Boston - Charles Spada's discussion on the renovation of this home in Normandy, France

Recently I attended Charles Spada's discussion on his work to restore the 1652 Manoir de Berthouville with Historic New England's Ogden Codman Design Group. It was so amazing to see the before pictures of the this home, which was previously a hunting lodge and place for soldiers to slumber during the war and then home to a large family. Charles told us the about all the different characters in the process (French Contractors...seriously cannot imagine) who worked on the renovation/restoration. I only wish I had the before photos to show in the post -- to show the amazing transformation.

Charles is has been incredibly gracious and welcoming to me, he is a great Man, and ridiculously talented designer. To see more of his work look here - I love how he blends modern sensibility with antiques and other classic elements.
Also, he used to design women's clothing, so I love talking clothing with him as well :)

 I frequent his shop, Antiques on 5, for one of a kind unique accessories and Antiques -- because obviously he has amazing taste.  Here are some of my favorite finished photos of his project. 

Voila!
