GET UPDATES FROM Jill Goldberg
Like many designers, Jill Goldberg started her career in her mother’s living room rearranging the furniture. Always a fan of home design, it wasn’t her first love though. She moved to Los Angeles after high school to become an actress. For the following eight years Jill worked on her acting career all the while soaking up the relaxed and comfortable California style that is now present in her design work.

One day, she realized it was time to return to school and study a subject she had loved for so long, interior design. Jill attended The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Upon graduating, she left Los Angeles for Boston and in 2001 Jill started her own company, Picket Fence Interior Design, and began to work with homeowners helping them to realize their personal taste through the selections of fabrics, furniture, accent pieces and wall colors. This experience helped her realize that she wanted to work with materials and items that she felt passionate about.

In September 2006 Jill opened HUDSON which quickly became, and still is, Boston’s premiere home boutique. Winning accolades and "Best of" awards from the local media, HUDSON claims the "Traditional, Country and Vintage meets Modern" approach to home design. In March 2008, Jill opened her second location in Wellesley. In 2009, Wallpaper deemed HUDSON one of Boston's must-see shops.

Newly introduced, and a logical next step, is interior design services by the owner, Jill Goldberg. In September 2011, to celebrate her fifth successful year in business, Jill is moving to a new, larger location around the corner from her original store.

New address: 12 Union Park Street, Boston.

Comments | Posted December 6, 2011 | 06:00 PM (EST)

We all have an Achilles' heel when it comes to the design of our own home. For some it is the kitchen that still lives in the '80s, and for others it's their living room with the eyesore fireplace with its 1972 retro brick façade. Well, for me it's been...

Hunting for Antiques in Brimfield

Posted September 20, 2011 | 09:00 AM (EST)

I have always considered vintage items an integral part of any home design. Vintage pieces reflect who we are, what we love and where we've come from. HUDSON, the store I founded five years ago, is known for selling some great vintage pieces, and in turn, I'm known for using...
