apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

So often it seems architects design odd/ugly buildings and then choose to live somewhere old and beautiful.

Handsome dog, though.

Your home is beautiful. The living room is solid with the wide plank floors-real good bones--but it's also so cozy and welcoming. I would love to live there!

Its because architects typically can't afford to live in the odd/ugly buildings they design... ;) Hehe.

Is that a radiator done up with shelves to mimic a fire place mantle in the living room? Interesting idea.

Interesting idea, but it doesn't really work, does it? Why would you want to sit staring at an old radiator?

Very beautiful home. I especially love the inlay wood floors in the nursery. Very calming colors and most of all inviting. Again, beautiful and very inspiring.

I really love the paint colors they used. They work really well in that space.

I wish paint color names and numbers were required for posting pictures.

Does any one know what color the orange paint is? I've been looking for one that isn't too fleshy or creamsicle-y and this fits nicely.

ditto on the slate blue - I've been looking for that color

the grey paint looks very close to my bedrm color Ralph Lauren Midnight

a beautiful, lived-in, and very charming home

She was one of my favorite architecture professors at Harvard. So talented and lively. It's reflected well in her home.

I love this home --- simple and elegant, without being too "done" --- very wabi-sabi!

It's beautiful. I love seeing beautiful apartments in Boston. Thanks!

there is something oddly sterile about this place....

Hello Mimosa.

barbidahll -- that's exactly what I was thinking!

I love the simple feel of the place, but I think the wall over the credenza could maybe use a couple of small wall sconces, one on each side of the pictures.

The box pictures over the crib are perfect!

Beautiful? calming ? elegant ? what? ...the radiator? Sorry for my sarcasm. Looks like a student "pied a terre" or 50s "in need of a "bailout". Simply because it is a brownstone in a valuable street belonging to well known Architects does not call for glorification. I very often really love your site but on days like this, I wonder. Has your sense perceptions gone already on a holiday?
Minimalism should never look cheap. Is that a "Ricepaper lamp" in the dining room ?. Sad, Eames must be turning in his grave. That's why even Architects should hire the service of Interior Designers.

I wonder how Jasper Morrsion (a real minimalist designer) would feel about his light being compared to a cheap "ricepaper lamp"

I loved this tour, and was charmed by the orange and gray. I didn't save the photos, and they AREN'T available on Boston Home. Am I outta luck?

Scratch that. I found them on the RSS post. (Shh.)
