friday favorites from new england home

By Jared Ainscough, Assistant Art Director
I have walked by Hudson a few times as I have looked for lunch spots in Boston’s South End. I will proudly admit that this store won me over with a beautiful pumpkin and gourd display in the fall, and I’ve been hooked ever since. The store is always beautifully arranged and the selection of goods is impeccable. This Pipa Table Lamp is really the tip of the iceberg. Every piece in the shop shares this sense of classic design with a twist. I love the detail on this lamp—a nice balance of delicate, intricate pattern and a solid weight and proportion.

Have you met…….

Welcome to the first of our weekly ‘have you met….’ series. This will be a weekly blog entry to introduce all of you to new product lines, and even lines we’ve carried since day one that you might not know. This week I am happy to show you all our new custom line of Hudson designed ceramics made exclusively for us by Jill Rosenwald.

I built upon classic horizontal stripes (which are starting to be my signature) and kept with Jill’s classic color-filled interior and painted gold rim. Last season I had created this H buckle design which was great, but ended up being a bit specific. Alot of people purchased those because of an affilliation with the letter ‘H’. This design is across the board, and simply put – timeless.

We are offering a variety of sizes – large serving bowl, tall vase, pencil jar, nut bowl and a long pencil tray. all the season specific colors are intermixed throughout. I actually leave that up to the Jill Rosenwald studio to choose placement of colors etc..

I hope you all come in and check out all the pieces in person, but hurry up because they are already going fast. Though no worries, a new order is already in the works. And if you want to learn more about Jill Rosenwald and her pottery please go check her out at www.jillrosenwald.com

Hudson’s First Line of Casegoods

I have wanted to start my own line of furnishings for some time now…Upholstery, Casegoods, Fabric, Lighting – the whole show!  Well I have taken my first few steps towards that goal. The first step has been to create 2 casegood pieces, based off of the classic parsons shape, but tweaking the proportions a bit. And instead of a wood finish, or a painted finish, I decided to kick it up a notch and wrap the tables in classic cork.  I think these pieces are casual yet elegant, and add a touch of california feel to any room. Please stop by to check these tables out, they are both currently on the floor. And I’d love to hear your feedback!

And the second step towards my goal is the start of my own upholstery line. I am in the design phase of creating 2 pieces of my own design by our favorite custom furniture maker, Verellen. I am so excited and can’t wait for the unveiling (which will probably be early summer!) So keep your eye out! xoxo J

House Beautiful!!! Yee ha!

Well February is far from here, but luckily the February issue of House Beautiful is!  House Beautiful has long been my favorite magazine, and I have spent many afternoons dreaming of the day that I would make it inside the pages.  

Well that day is finally here!  In February 2012′s issue, I have been touted as the ‘Next Wave’ in interior design.  They showcased a dining room I worked on in Newton and the Foyer of a home I am working on in the western burbs. Best of all, Newell Turner was excited to showcase my husband’s art!! So please take a minute to pick up the new issue and check me out. And thanks for all the support over the last few years. I’m hoping that this is just the beginning!! xoxo
