The trend-setting Rooms+Gardens boutiques in New York and Washington offered an eclectic and unparalleled assortment of French and American antiques. House&Garden magazine celebrated the way Margaret Rubino incorporated metal garden furniture, stone-topped bistro tables, and drapers tables in her interior décor. Her SoHo stores were go-to sources for many of the world's leading interior decorators and architects. Metropolitan Home magazine called Margaret Rubino's Rooms+Gardens "a mecca of style." The Washington Post Magazine's Spring Design Issue has featured Rubino’s “knack for outside-inside design.”
