with Brad & Kendra's home located at South End, Boston
Brad and Kendra talked about their beautiful home
We are 100% the definition of a high-low mix and our style is a constant work in progress. Over the course of our 10 years together our home has come together in a very organic way. If we had to pin it down, it would be clean and contemporary lines, mostly neutral colors punctuated with bright and metallic pops, and a definite juxtaposition between objects that are both glamorous and raw.
With regard to admiring their style, Kelly Wearstler, Barbara Bestor, Terrence Conran,& Florence Broadhurst come immediately to mind. Most of all though, what is most inspiring is seeing real people's homes both in magazines and on design blogs. When there is a definite informality, sense of humor, and authenticity that people have about their homes, that is what we really respond to on top of just the obvious physical beauty.
The contradictions of the old and new elements in the unit are really what attracted us in the first place. Living in such an old city, it was important for us to have a home which reflects that and contains a bit of that history within its bones. All of the original elements, the floor, moldings and entry-way, fireplace and high ceilings are what initially drew us in and provide a constant source of inspiration with regard to how they enhance all of the THINGS that we've collected over the years.
Without a doubt, budget has always been our biggest challenge. We've been lucky that we have been able to utilize our workplaces to furnish our home. Beyond just an employee discount, we never pay retail for anything. If we see a great knick-knack, or book, or decorative piece that we have to have and it's on-sale, we will without a doubt bring it home.
