A Gallery Style Interior. January 20th, 2012. If a person were to ask me to offer an off the cuff phrase describing Sally’s and my style, I would say classic traditional with an enticing European influence . Having said that, there’s a piece of me that that will sit right up and say, Whoa! Wouldn’t you expect a charming rustic interior? The central fireplace has been reworked as part of an open floor plan. Tucked around the corner… Antique keys. What’s a schrank you ask? Could you live here? Boston has b...

Sunday Drive: Fried Clams, The Ipswich Great Marsh and Antiques at Andrew Spindler’s Shop. August 23rd, 2015. After a wonderful client meeting in Milton this past Friday morning, Sally and I gave ourselves permission to taken part of the afternoon off. It was lunchtime and while the air was humid, the temps were comfortable and the sky hinted of a Dutch Master’s hand. We drove straight to Farnham’s. Headquarters of the Greenbelt, Essex County’s Land Trust. Allen has an eye for the very special and unique...

Before/After Pictures of our Traditional Home Magazine New Talent Search Submittal. February 10th, 2016. Inspired by Ocean Home magazine’s recent inclusion of Wilson Kelsey Design in their 2016 Top 50 Interior Designers list, we decided to enter Traditional Home magazine’s New Talent Search. 8221; Seeing pictures of a finished room or project doesn’t always relate the full story of transformation. With that in mind I assembled before/after pictures of the ten images we submitted. Every home has a story t...

Small Foyer Love – Serious Eye Candy…

Small Foyer Love – Serious Eye Candy…. April 3rd, 2015. I fell in love with this image the moment I saw it. It’s intimacy. The sweep of the floating stair. How the bureau is tucked in under the stair. The gold framed sunburst mirrors and table lamp on the bureau scare the shadows away. The rose quartz beckons to me, while grandfather presides over the proceedings. The zebra stripe adds a touch of the exotic. To visit our website, click here. To follow us on Facebook, click here.

Sunday Drive – A Visit to South Front Architectural Antiques in Memphis. January 31st, 2016. There’s a must stop Sally and I make every Christmas when we visit her mother and step-dad. It’s South Front Architectural Antiques. We’re always filled with excitement and anticipation because we never know what we will find or discover. This year did not disappoint. At about 18″ in diameter, I saw this copper pot as a planter in an urban loft. I can see the potential with the collage on the wall behind for one ...

Sunday Drive – The Kemble Inn in Lenox, MA. November 3rd, 2015. This weekend Sally and I (with the good help of our son Drew) performed one of our Fall rituals – dismantling and saying goodbye to our screened porch until next spring. If I’d had my druthers, I’d have spent the weekend at the Kemble Inn in Lenox. Leisurely exploring the grounds. Appreciating the fall flowers. And savoring the fall foliage from the terrace. Or from my bedroom window. My blog post about our visit can be seen here. The Norman...

Mantel & Built-in Cabinetry Sketch Inspired by Winterthur’s Marlboro Room. May 4th, 2015. I’m just beginning work with Sally on a project in Wellesley – a beautiful four square home whose interior trim and millwork are in need of a serious update. Late this afternoon, using Winterthur’s Marlboro Room as inspiration, I quickly sketched a “cartoon” of the mantel and built-in cabinetry in the den. To visit our website, click here.
