Famous Palaces depicted at Neiman Marcus' "Home for the Holidays" showrooms

Three of my favorite Boston designers were tapped to create holiday spaces based on famous castles for Neiman Marcus' "Home for the Holidays" event which kicks off their holiday season. Feels a little early, but that's the way of things these days! The event is done in conjunction with the Over My Shoulder Foundation which supports mentoring in the community. The showrooms will be open through January and are free to view. See the press release below for more info.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Gerald Pomeroy of Gerald Pomeroy Interiors in his Balmoral Castle Room </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I think that the deep tones of the rooms really highlight the windows and spills of light that come in through the windows and doors. Without that balance, such deep dark spaces might tend to become a little depressing. But these - gorgeous!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBow6n2Gm-JpgHeb3vjj6d6beHUUfVLo1SvTl_O5bykUlaJ2l5q5vUqCzMQcliybPZor3ygtJrSELNCDh7Vt1u5CZy0XBDovYo6CNPS70AKHUEa0RhOivahChvoqAOLotheSBlazz5ZkI/s1600/Linda+sig2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBow6n2Gm-JpgHeb3vjj6d6beHUUfVLo1SvTl_O5bykUlaJ2l5q5vUqCzMQcliybPZor3ygtJrSELNCDh7Vt1u5CZy0XBDovYo6CNPS70AKHUEa0RhOivahChvoqAOLotheSBlazz5ZkI/s1600/Linda+sig2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 103px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 1466px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 103px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 1466px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a>
