Colette French Bistro and Wine Bar

May 21, 2019



Colette, a vibrant, charming French bistro and wine bar was recently opened in Cambridge, Mass. The restaurant is named after Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a French author who was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature in1948.

 This charming bistro is situated on the ground floor of the Porter Square Hotel. It is charmingly decorated with velvet booths and the walls are decorated with a beautiful tropical wallpaper from Ananbô,  a French company which takes its inspiration from 18th-century landscape paintings. 

I visited the restaurant and I believe it is a MUST-SEE place. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Colette







Colette; 1924 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge; Daily from 7 a.m.–10 a.m. and 5 p.m.–10 p.m.; colette1924.com

When entering the space, you are welcomed by a luxurious and exquisite atmosphere. There are numerous antique pieces that were shipped from Paris and Brussels. Another room features a large and colorful collection of rugs provided by Landry and Acari.


The artist Chad Kilgore individually crafted captivating and colorful glass panels for one of the two conference rooms. Artist Jason Macdonald created a masterpiece with pops of vibrant spray paint flowing across the floor and creeping up poles in the main area. Looking up, the ceiling showcases a collection of twelve chandeliers and an enchanted installation of Murano glass butterflies designed by the artist Deborah Rossetto. This space of design and furniture houses an unparalleled collection of local and international art. It was curated by the Lanoue Gallery in SOWA.

Designer Show House - The 1853 William Flagg Homer House

October 5, 2017




On Tuesday October 3, I was invited to attend the Boston Show House media day. The designers gave us a tour through the house and we had a chance to preview all the work and decoration they have done. 

More than 20 rooms at the historic William Flagg Homer House have been given a complete makeover by the area’s top designers. The Homer House has been owned by the Belmont Woman’s Club since the 1920s.

The 1853 William Flagg Homer House has been owned by the Belmont Woman’s Club since 1927. The house, an architectural combination of both the Bracketed Italianate and French Mansard style, was originally owned by William Flagg Homer and his wife Adeline Wellington, uncle and aunt of American landscape painter Winslow Homer.
