IN REVIEW

30

As we usher in the holiday season and I finish my first year as your President, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on last year and share with you the excitement on the horizon for IFDA-NE next year! First and foremost, I’d like to say thank you to you all.

From our sponsors, without whose support IFDA-NE would not be able to do the many great things we do, to our talented and dedicated Board of Directors whose creative and tireless efforts - both imagining and implementing great ideas make everything possible and to you, our Membership whose feedback, encouragement and support energizes and guides us, we have had quite a year.

After capping off last spring with Take A Seat, we celebrated our fall events including September’s lighting panel discussion at Wolfers; October’s Design Market at Landry and Acari; and November’s celebration of Poggenpohl’s last 125 Years.

While Take a Seat has been one of our biggest successes both in raising funds for a variety of deserving charities and in raising IFDA-NE’s profile in Boston’s design community, it has also been one our biggest challenges in terms of dedicating scarce resources (human and capital) toward such a huge undertaking. With that in mind we’ve decided to “Take A Break” in 2018, to focus instead on our monthly programing and direct community service. I’ll update everyone more completely in the New Year on upcoming events.

LETTER FROM THE

PRESIDENT

It’s been such a pleasure to meet so many members this year and hear countless inspiring stories about what the benefits of an IFDA-NE membership has afforded them for their careers and their businesses. Whenever I attend a chapter event, I always walk away feeling humbled and honored to be a part of it.

This issue is rich with rooms designed by our fellow, ultra-talented members who participated in the 2017 Junior League of Boston Show House. In stark contrast to the past, we also showcase a recent renovation of an industrial pasta factory in the North End to a modern chic pad. And lastly, take a peek at the highlights of our fall events which shows members connecting with members.

In closing, I’d like to enlist your help in retaining and recruiting new members. I would also like to offer existing members an opportunity to get involved as a board or a committee member. I am committed to making your membership a valuable and worthwhile experience that gives you satisfaction and that you can be most proud.

We hope you will join us at our Annual Holiday Party hosted at Wink & Nod. There is still time to register. And please if you can, support our friends at the Women’s Institute for Housing and Economic Development with a donation to support their community work. They continue to do amazing things for struggling families, individuals and seniors.

Chris Magliozzi 2017 New England Chapter President

Sincerely,

Chris Magliozzi 3

WELL MANORED DESIGN Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House William Flagg Homer House | Belmont, MA

The Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House enjoyed a successful month long run. Twenty of the Boston area’s top designers completely transformed the interiors of the 1853 William Flagg Homer House in Belmont. Five of those twenty were IFDA-New England members:

Barbara Elza Hirsch of Elza B. Design, Inc

Kelly Rogers of Kelly Rogers Interiors

Laurie Gorelick of Laurie Gorelick Interiors

Vivian Robins of Vivian Robins Design

Sean Cutting, of Cutting Edge Homes

Thousands of visitors were inspired by the stunning makeovers starting from the moment they entered the house via the vestibule and continuing through a sumptuous dining room, a garden of good, and evil, a modern interpretation of a study, and more!

The William Flagg Homer House is a historic Belmont landmark, built in 1853 by William Homer, and is one of the few preserved examples of architecture that is a combination of late Bracketed Italianate and early French Mansard. Winslow Homer, the nephew of William Flagg Homer and one of the most important figures in 19th Century American art, spent summers at his uncle’s residence in Belmont, and for a significant period of his life, his world revolved around the house. The Belmont Woman’s Club purchased the home in 1927 after learning that a developer planned to tear it down. They established the 1853 Homer House as their permanent residence and have maintained the property ever since.

AN Appreciation for The

finer things “Classic Elegance” Designed by Vivian Robins of Vivian Robins Design

For 46 years, the Junior League (JL) of Boston has been New England’s premier designer show house host. Using a property as a blank canvas, the JL Boston Designer Show House gives area designers the opportunity to demonstrate their talents and unique design style through complete redecoration of the home.

A major fundraiser for JL Boston, the Designer Show House program increases awareness of the JL Boston’s vital community programs and furthers the mission of the JL Boston to serve the women and children of the greater Boston community.

Throughout the Designer Show House history, JL Boston has worked with significant historical and national park properties.

This year, JL Boston partnered with the Belmont Woman’s Club to host the 2017 Designer Show House at the historic 1853 William Flagg Homer House located in Belmont, MA. Over 20 rooms and spaces were transformed by renowned designers who generously donated their time and materials; each of the design areas in the Show Houses are redesigned with an eye to maintaining the property’s original character. All proceeds from the JL Boston Designer Show House benefit the JL Boston’s signature community programs.

The Designer Show House was open to the public for viewing in October and the first week of November. During this time, the community was welcomed into the property to view the magnificent transformation that the home has gone through and to learn more about the designers and vendor partners who have made that transformation possible. Special events and programming were also held throughout the month-long initiative to boost additional exposure and awareness for the JL Boston, the designers and the property.

For more information and details on the next Show House, visit www.BostonShowHouse.org.

the north end

Moving history forward: The design team wanted to honor the historic architectural elements throughout the unit, including the concrete flared columns that were original to the factory.

While most other residents chose to hide the columns, this unit kept them exposed in order to share their story.

transformation Photography: Shelly Harrison

Judy Whalen of Roomscapes Cabinetry and Design Center recently collaborated with architect, Scott Grady to transform a raw space in Boston’s North End neighborhood into a modern, open-concept condominium. From start to finish, no leaf was left unturned.

Once home to the Prince Macaroni Company’s pasta factory, the historic building overlooks Boston Harbor. The interior unit on the top floor had been transformed into offices for a well-known marketing firm for many years. When the company moved, it opened up a unique opportunity to create an urban retreat for empty nesters.

The entire unit had to be gutted and remodeled to accomodate a new design with an open floor plan that would augment entertaining and livable space, while providing optimal storage.

The homeowners wanted to maximize the kitchen footprint without compromising the flow of the unit.

Their goal was to elevate the waterfront view and create a large space to host family for holiday gatherings.

15

Since the couple was familiar with a more traditional New England home, Judy wanted to be certain the updated sleek and modern look they were aiming to achieve in the space, still felt warm and inviting.

17

The challenge was to create a cohesive and workable space without overwhelming any one area. It was imperative to fashion different locations throughout the condominium that felt both separate and collective at the same time.

19

As in most homes in the North End, space is always a limitation. The kitchen wasted no space and is a perfect reflection of the homeowners: smart and distinctive. Fitting everything on their appliance wish list was a challenge. No one element overpowers another,. The Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances elevate the sophistication the space deserves.

The design easily permits for a bar area in an undercounter beverage center. The clean lines of the precisely integrated appliances allow the kitchen to feel more spacious.

The homeowners were seeking a clean, paired down, modern space for this new chapter in their life. Judy definitely delivered and overcame the intrinsic challenges she encountered in the limited space.. She sucessfully honored the building’s historical integrity while curating a space that represented the lifestyle of her clients.
