Jim and Susan M-Geough are woven into the fabric of New England design, both literally and figuratively. Through their design business, The M-Geough Company, Inc. (often shortened to simply "M-Geough"), they helped make Boston the New England hub of a unique design movement in the United States. Their impact on New England design, their longevity, their place in Boston's history, their commitment to community, their dedication to mentoring designers in the industry, and their one-of-a-kind lines and specialty design services will make them a lasting icon.
That's part of what makes Jim and Susan's contributions to New England design so unique. Founded in 1951, M-Geough is a trades-only design company specializing in 18th- and 19th-century reproductions along with contemporary and transitional furnishings, lighting, and accessories from 25 custom manufacturers. Jim and Susan also scour Europe and Asia for one-of-a-kind antiques. As a result, their showroom at the Boston Design Center is something more akin to an art gallery for New England's most discerning designers.

What also makes M-Geough such a prominent and influential company in the New England design world is, of course, is its longevity. M-Geough is part of Boston's history. This year marks the company's 70th anniversary, from its humble beginnings on Newbury St. to its move to the Decorative Arts Center in Boylston St.'s Berkeley Building, then establishing its massive showroom at the Boston Design Center almost 40 years ago. The company's roots go back further than that to the T. A. M-Geough Decorating Co., founded by Jim M-Geough's grandmother Therese. She also came up with the store moniker – and a new family name – by dropping the small "c" in McGeough.
Now, as Jim and Susan M-Geough transition from leading the company as president and vice-president to their advisory roles, it seems the perfect time to recognize them, celebrate their contributions to New England design and to each project, designer and antique! Cheers to Jim and Susan! Cheers to 70 years and Cheers to many more!
