Join Us For a Discussion On The Subject, Assembling the Experts in Boston   photos- antique bergeres we upholstered in root cellar designs' textiles Paris Design Week, 2018 As a designer who wears many hats (I am an interior designer for my residential clients, I design fabric and wallpaper for other designers, and I write about design for the public) I often think about antiques and how to incorporate them into our homes.  How do we meld the love for the old and unique with our modern spaces?  How do we take that family heirloom and make it fresh and new? On this subject-- please join us for this exciting discussion at the Boston Design Center where I'll speak on a panel about this very topic.  My good friend Toma Clark Haines of the Antiques Diva will lead the discussion sharing her expertise, and renowned interior designer Steven Favreau and I will join her on the panel.  I have just returned from Paris to attend Deco-off, the Paris Flea Market and Paris Design Week and I am excited to share my thoughts.  I've traveled with the Antiques Diva tours from Parma and Milan to Paris, and we hope to share our experiences and talk about the current design trends gleaned from these exciting antique markets.  Here's the skinny...I hope you'll join us!
