Retailer Spotlight: Hudson

This week's Retailer Spotlight is on Hudson, a chic home store located in Boston's South End. Owner Jill Goldberg opened Hudson in 2006 with home furnishings that mix New England classic style and California cool. Jill graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and pursued a career in acting before returning to the east coast to begin her career in interiors. She now operates both the Hudson retail store and Hudson Interior Designs, a full service, residential design firm. Jill's design work has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of the 10 New Trad Designers to Watch in 2014 by Traditional Home magazine.

Holly Hollingsworth Phillips, a Charlotte based interior designer and the blogger behind The English Room, creates fantastic Dress to Room pairings after all the major awards shows and galas. The Met Ball Gala features never disappoint - like Tuesday's post on the 2014 gala and this one from 2013.
