Inspiring Design

I had to post the article I came across in the May issue of Met Home. Designed by Boston Design, Frank Roop and Photographed by Eric Roth...this South End Condo is exactly as the article describes it...a Plush Palette...Enjoy!


The soft palette of the living room is balanced with pops of hue in the art & pillows, and a mix of vintage finds (notice the plush mohair chairs studded in chrome nailheads! great details)


The stripes on the back wall of the breakfast room add a sofa graphic to the eye - they were created by cutting stripes of wallpaper and applied horizontal...and easier approach would be a good tape job and some paint!






I love the simplicity of the master bath....molded aluminum subway tiles that run vertically and the shower bench piercing through the glass shower enclosure to double as a bench near the vanity

Friday's Fab Finds

Nail heads, Nail heads, & more Nail heads...I'm loving them right now - polished, matte, bronze, chrome...doesn't matter! They are the PERFECT sparkle for any piece of furniture Have an old chair or table laying around and want to change it up a bit? Try adding nails heads! They transform an ordinary item into glam/chic with a dash of sophistication. I saw the most AMAZING chair at Kravet in the Boston Design Center this week - Bright Pink Plush Velvet with Polished Chrome Nail heads....steal my heart why don't ya?? I promise to snap a pic and post it next time I'm their. Check out some other great finds at Ballard Designs, Bungalow 5, & William Sonoma Home .
