The North Shore design and construction community gathered in style on November 5, 2025 to celebrate the BONS Home Awards, hosted by Northshore Magazine at Olio Wedding & Event Space in Peabody. The industrial-chic venue provided the perfect setting for an evening dedicated to celebrating creativity, craftsmanship and innovation in home design.
Guests from across the region – including architects, contractors, interior designers, real estate professionals and artisans – gathered over light bites and cocktails and explored interactive residential vignettes.
A special panel discussion led by Editor Nancy E. Berry entitled “The Power of Great Design: What It Takes to Create a Successful Business” brought together thought leaders from across the industry:
- Gregory Lombardi, President and Founder, Gregory Lombardi Landscape Design
- Trevor Fulmer of Trevor Fulmer Design
- Stephen Payne, founding partner at Bouchier Fine Builders
- Eunice Weckesser, Founder and Lead Designer, Crown the Cool Studios
- Tobin Shulman, director at SV Design
Together, they shared growth strategies, discussed new design trends and offered insight into the creative and operational minds behind successful home-based businesses.
