Boston Interiors GIVEAWAY and Upholstery Sale

This is a post  (and giveaway) for my local readers about a store that I'm sure you know, Boston Interiors.  They have seven locations throughout Massachusetts, so one is never very far away if you live here.  I have used Boston Interiors for years, for myself and for clients, and have been very pleased. So when they approached me about a post I was eager to do it.

First, I want to show you some images from their stores and installations, and then tell you about my favorite products and of course the giveaway. Here are some rooms they have done:

I think this is the cutest thing ever - those framed little swimsuits are adorable! Such a sentimental way to preserve toddler clothes and add pops of color:

Aren't those beautiful? There really is something for everyone. I have a lot of personal favorites, right now leaning toward the bright pops of color in these art pieces, fabrics, rugs, and accessories:

And I really love these rugs: 

I think some people don't know that there are so many custom order options for rugs, fabrics, wood finishes etc. There really some some incredibly beautiful options.

Like I said, I have used the custom upholstery options many times.  Here is a photo of my family room last year where all three sofas were from Boston Interiors:

I have also bought a lot for clients, and everyone has been happy. What strikes me more though is the frequent experience I have with new clients, where they say "everything is going except the Boston Interiors chairs."  I swear that has happened at least 4 times - people keep them forever, which is obviously a good sign.

And the thing that I didn't mention yet that really sells people around here - the prices. They are very, very good. These are all sofas under $1000 (and that includes sleepers). Of course you can spend more if you upgrade to one of the other 600 or so fabrics, but the base fabrics are really nice, too. And they are on sale until March 31:

Pretty good, huh? The store is a must-visit to everyone I know around where I live before buying anything, because the prices and selection really do rival what you can find online (very rare, in my opinion), and you can try things out before you buy.

So I hope I have convinced you to go visit a store if you haven't already, or if you are looking for something. It's fun just to go in to get ideas, too, as the designers at the stores I've visited are very talented and creative.

Onto the giveaway....

HUGE Giveaway from Inspire Q (4 Poster Mirrored bed, $900)

Do you guys remember the bed I got on Overstock for my STILL in progress bedroom?  Here is the room again, but still unpainted. I have to find time to do that - it's the only thing left, but it is so time consuming....

So the bed is obviously the star of the show. It is by the company Inspire Q, which sells through Overstock. I remember telling you guys when I first showed these photos, but I will tell you again, that it is one of the better pieces of furniture that I have in my house. It is SO gorgeous and SO well made. I think I may have written this before too – one day I walked into the bedroom to see Ellie hanging from the front crossbar. After almost having a heart attack, I went over to the bed, assuming she had hurt it or broken it. But nope – her 90 pounds didn't do anything to the frame. 

This bed is really, really sturdy and well-made, and looks exactly the same as the one sold at Neiman Marcus and other stores for 3 to 4 times the cost. I couldn't love it more, and can't find any words to tell you how pleased I am with the quality and style. I highly, highly recommend it. Oh, and the price - it is a GREAT price and one of the better deals I have scored.  And although I haven't had occasion to buy other items from inspire Q, I have absolutely no hesitation or reservation about doing so in the future.

So anyway, when I initially posted about my room, I linked to the bed on Overstock. I think that is how Inspire Q must have found me, and I am so glad they did! They asked me recently to design a room from their line of products at Overstock. After doing a mood board, they actually got all of the items together and built and photographed the room. Isn't that amazing? 

I'm going to show it to you below, and then after that you can enter to win the bed or other items from the room.

I didn't find out what the giveaway items would be until a few days ago, and I was blown away by the company's generosity. Thank you thank you thank you so much inspire Q for this giveaway.

Okay here is the room I designed....

THE ROOM:

What do you think? I hope you like it. When my husband saw the photos he said "It looks like our room." Well, duh. That makes sense since I designed them both! I guess my style is pretty set in stone, and these items are exact fits for me. 

Next, you can enter to win the bed or one of the other items below....
