With Margaret Russell of Elle Decorat the Boston Design Center
The Kravet showroom at the Boston Design Center hosted a designer lunch and book signing yesterday with Margaret Russell after she presented some of her favorite images from her numerous years as editor-in-chief at Elle Decor magazine, images that are now found in the pages of her new book, Style and Substance published by Filipacchi.
This image of a space designed by Victoria Hagan, photographed by Michael Mundy, sold the most copies in Elle Decor history when it graced
the Aug./Sept. 02 cover.
One of Margaret’s favorite images from the book ...

I found the image below quite striking. It even incorporates a few ideas I had for my kitchen remodel ... gray counters, white cabinets, white walls. And while I hadn’t considered turquoise ostrich leather

I took this photo of Margaret with designer Rosanne Palazola who I met last year at the North Shore Design Show. This year, Rosanne will be designing a space (as will I) for Danvers Historical Society’s Reflecting on Danvers History through Interior Design showhouse at Tapley Memorial Hall which will take place July 11th through August 1st. I will post more

For now, here are some stylish spaces that I discovered during my BDC visit to Ralph Lauren, whose actual home was featured a number of times in Margaret’s slide show. This season, the RL showroom is decorated with a clever mix of equestrian-themed prints and furnishings, dazzling lighting, and cozy fabrics.
I loved it all!

The collection of artful sketches above a velvet sofa was captivating in its stylish simplicity.
As Margaret explains, good design is timeless, strategic, mindful and creative. Having the eye of an editor plays an important role, as well!
