The Full Conversation - Season 5

In this extended Home, Life & Style segment, Host Parker Kelley visits Dane Austin's private home in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The area of Dorchester where his house is located was historically known as Doctor’s Row, as many of the homes belonged to physicians when they were built. Dane loves \the access to the hub of Boston but also enjoys the many opportunities to commune with nature and its extraordinary beauty, vitality, and diversity.

Dane Austin is the founder and principal designer at the eponymous Dane Austin Design or DAD. DAD is a full-service interior design firm headquartered on the famous Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts, since 2012.

Dane specializes in luxury residential interiors throughout North America. He is not only a talented and celebrated interior designer but also an artist and nature lover. Much of his home is inspired by nature with a nod to the 30s, 40s, and 50s design. This is the extended cut that we call the Full Conversation. It is a wonderfully uncut version of Dane's home tour with Host Parker Kelley. You’ll love this tour if you love classic or modern design. Dane is a master at blending the two styles in total harmony.
