Inspired Interiors For Living Well
 

INSPIRED INTERIORS FOR LIVING WELL

We believe in the human connection and celebrating the successes of others; in kindness and collaboration; in creating joyful, inviting, and livable homes — inspired by you — to empower you and your family. We understand the value of your time. We know efficiency is essential to having an easy and enjoyable experience.

A well-designed home sets the stage for a life well-lived and simply becomes the backdrop for more meaningful connections. Your home should encourage you to live in the moment with room to relax, recharge, re-energize, and get a good night’s rest. A well-designed home promotes well-being, provides peace-of-mind, and inspires you to pay it forward with each new day. We believe you deserve - 

SPACE TO RISE AND THRIVE

Hello, House Beautiful!
Hello, House Beautiful!

This house proves that bold colors can be relaxing. For Dane Austin, the proverbial third time really was the charm. The bold patterns in this house are kaleidoscopic in the best way. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share this heartfelt story with the world.

Bienvenue, Boston Globe!

Clients become friends and, often, patrons for life. Sneak peak - a day of magazine scouting shots with my dear friend and mentor, Andy Staszak, at the home of a loyal client (and friend) for more than 20 years.

It was wonderful to witness this continued camaraderie last night as we toasted to these five super-impressive 2019 5 Under 40 winners."

It was a lovely afternoon at the Seventh Annual Artemis Circle Spring Luncheon benefitting Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. We enjoyed connecting with one another while bringing attention to such a great cause! It was fun exploring the Berkshire Partners Blue Hill Club, and hearing from Club staff, keynote speaker Quincy Miller, and Club alumna Denisha. . . Together we raised more than $107,000 (and counting!) to support the 14,000 youth who rely on BGCB’s Clubs for a safe, positive environment. Thank you for your incredible generosity and commitment. We have made a significant difference in the lives of young people like Denisha, and there is still work to be done. . . Shout out to the co-chairs and great speeches by all. Cheers to you Donna Venegas! @venegasandcompany The Artemis Circle allows women to be involved with BGCB in a way that works best for them. . . Thank you, Jill, for including us all.

[swipe] “You owe yourself the love that you so freely give others.” #selfcaresaturday . . It may look red but acupuncture, cupping, massage, and Gua Sha treatments help the body repair itself. . In 2013, during an Uber ride I was involved in an accident when the driver ran a red light and smashed into the car crossing in front of us. “Conservative care” insurance companies put me through a year of trial-and-error medical treatments before they would approve me for an MRI. . . After a year of neck and back pain, numbness and tingling, days lost in bed, loss of strength and health, and eventual loss of mobility and confidence, the insurance company allowed doctors to discover two herniated discs once they approved the MRI’s. . . It’s been a long journey to wellness but I feel inclined to share what has worked well for me.: . Whether in a class setting or at home on a screen, most beneficial has been making yoga a regular part of my week (Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday). I eventually found a true healer in Randy @kostelanskyrandy (who also happens to be funny as heck) and massage therapy from Caitlyn @honeybey91 . . I began monthly acupuncture over a year and a half ago @treatmenttrainingwellness Randy started to incorporate cupping for increased blood flow, targeted massage, and Gua Sha for better circulation. I visit Randy once a month - right after a chiropractic visit with Dr. Michael Melander in the same office @treatmenttrainingwellness . . These weekly and monthly maintenance check-ins with my mind, body, and soul have propelled my health, sense of self, and wellbeing beyond what I knew was possible. I’m grateful for their care and healing touch. Thank you so much for helping me upgrade my life. You all are the best! . . #gratitude #livewell #bekindtoyourself #leadwithlove #healingtouch #practicekindness #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #guasha #massagetherapy #massage #daneaustindesign #beingkind #showsomelove #bostoninteriordesign #bostoninteriodesigner #bostonyoga #yogaboston #bostonmassage #bostonwellness #boston #healthandwellness #treatmenttrainingwellness #wellbeing #liveup #riseandthrive #interiordesign #thecolorguy #whiteboxcondos

”If you don’t make life fun, then that is no life at all.” J.P. McNeill . As seen in House Beautiful. We love creating special moments in a home. Do you love entertaining? Why not dress up your powder room and design the space to be a special little jewel box of fun. Your guests will appreciate the extra effort taken to enhance their experience. They only spend a few minutes in there (if you’re lucky) let’s give them something to talk about. This powder room won’t soon be forgotten. Which design element do you find most interesting? . . .

[swipe for details] “Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?” ~ Pablo Picasso . . Notice the carefully considered nuances. We started with the vine-and-leaf wallcovering (which the client loved so much we used it in the second redesign of this kitchen after a fire in the building). The moss green vines of the wallcovering inspired the choice of the stone with its subtle blue flecks. Tones of the earthy amber veining are recalled in the natural wood cabinet hardware and acts a warm balance to the brushed steel and frosted glass doors against white lacquered cabinets. The door pulls play off the wood wine rack and hardwood floors which are installed diagonally to expand the space and accentuate the architecture of the bay window. The backsplash switch plates are carefully faux finished to match the stone and minimize their appearance. The vintage brass and leather barstools help anchor the space in the bay window. They are paired with an antique cast iron cafe table. Whether seated or standing, the table is at just the right height for easy conversation while entertaining. The ceiling fixtures are the cherry on top — drawing the eye up, referencing the sky blue color on the louvered window shutters. The moss green is then repeated in various details throughout the home as a unifying design detail in a very carefully considered symphony of color. How does Mother Nature inspire your home? . .
