On June 14th, 2023, we hosted a PRO New England panel in our Boiler Room on why builders should work with interior designers. Meg McSherry, owner and principal designer of Meg McSherry Interiors in Newton, was one of the designers on the panel.
Of all the discussions we’ve hosted, this one stuck out as not just unique but also evergreen; builders and designers are from two very different worlds. This makes the conversation really amazing when we all get together to talk it out.
We played one moment from this panel, a comment from a builder who was curious about what he called the “feedback loop” that he encounters, when a plumber, for instance, has to install a toilet that’s spec’d out by a designer, knowing that the toilet has “had problems” and that the “plumber doesn’t want to talk to you,” the designer. “Neither does the electrician. Or my plasterer. Or my painter. He wants to talk to me.”
Meg and Kevin revisit this moment during the panel, along with adding fresh perspective gained over the past two years since, including a deep dive on their process, what role ego plays in what they do, and ever-evolving issues revolving around taste and aesthetics.
Meg also shared her boombox story. Debbie Gibson, Boys to Men, Bangles, Eminem, Lauren Hill, TLC, and even Janis Joplin were mentioned, but Lizzo made an appearance as well.
