Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 30, 2012

As part of this years event, New England Home magazine will sponsor a lively visual feast and panel discussion Designing With Antiques. Editor-in-Chief, Kyle Hoepner will moderate the discussion as prominent Boston designers share their expertise and ideas on how to incorporate antiques into traditional and contemporary interiors. Sally Wilson, ASID, an interior designer and antique maven from the award winning firm Wilson Kelsey Design, will be a featured panelist along with interior designers Jude Miller from American Dural and Charles Spada from Charles Spada Interiors.

A longtime aficionado of antiques, combined with the design talent to blend them within a variety of settings, Sally Wilson, ASID will offer tips on what to look for, how to get it, and pitfalls to avoid. Wilson Kelsey Designs expertise with a sophisticated and eclectic mix of antiques and contemporary furniture was previously showcased on the cover of New England Home magazine with a French-style salon. The room was furnished with a mix of periods, adeptly combining Louis XV, Louis XVI, Dutch pieces, gilded mirrors, Italian crystal and iron chandeliers, and architectural millwork. The harmonious mingling of these elements created the elegant tone of the salon. Using antiques instantly gives a room a certain weight and sense of history. I particularly love mixing periods, so that a room looks as if it were put together naturally, over time, says Wilson.
