Boston Design Center 2008 Dream Home

I visited the Boston Design Center Dream Home last week and had the place to myself to take photos. This show, which took place for the first time last year, is set up in an empty showroom on the 6th floor. Several area designers were selected to bring to life a room in the home, using furniture and materials available at the design center.

The BDC website will not showcase photos for a couple of weeks. But, at some point they will have an inventory of many of the items available in the different showrooms of the center.

The tour, which is open from now till July 31st, is free, although donations are being accepted to benefit the Esplanade Association.

Here are some still images from the various rooms.

 

 

Overall, I’d say each room was well done and unique. It’s a shame that there are no ceilings on the space as there were many beautiful ceiling fixtures and pendants that were very interesting, but lost something because they had to be hung from beams.
