Jill Rosenwald is Boston’s favorite potter — or at least DesignBoston’s favorite! Since I first met Jill (I think it was at an event at Vessel), I’ve loved Jill’s sense ...
The New England Telephone Building and 225 Franklin Street, Friday, March 11.
You live in or around Boston. You have this one room that you want to make over, but “you dream of urban eclectic one day and country cottage the next.” You’re at a loss for where t...
Jill Goldberg knows the value of good advice. The owner of Hudson was recently featured on NECN offering tips on ways to spruce up your home for less than $50. In addition to the tips in the video, J...
One trait that I see over and over again in designers is that they’re always looking for ways to improve things. Whether it’s Le Corbusier with the density of Paris, or Michael Graves wit...

ICFF 2010 has come and gone and it was quite a show. Gradon and I went down on Saturday and managed to do the show and five parties in under ten hours. We saw the good and not so good. I think it&...
