Yesterday's journey into the world of Paris Ceramics led me down the path of discovery of Carter & Company, a revered Boston-based interior design firm. Their offices are located on Newbury Street in Back Bay (one of the prettiest neighborhoods EVER) so it's no surprise that their work is timeless, sophisticated, and luxe.
Based on their impressive portfolio, Carter & Company is capable of executing a wide variety of styles...in their oeuvre you'll find everything from a sleek modern kitchen to a traditional dining room in a historic home. Their design prowess coupled with this versatility is likely what has landed project showcases in major magazines like InStyle, New England Home, and Traditional Home.
From their portfolio, these are some of my favorite spaces...
Simple white kitchen with all of the right details (inset cabinets, beveled-edge subway tile, great flooring, etc.) that make it standout from the rest. I'll never get that divine Spanish marble checkerboard floor out of my head!

This office is chic and fun. I love the Quadrille Henriot Floral curtains and the crisp white lacquered desk.

Classic dining room with just the right amount of drama. The contemporary mirror keeps the look from getting too stately.

Perfect little marble-clad bathroom...

Another great white kitchen...I'm curious about the island surface. Is it stone, wood, or concrete? If it's stone, maybe it's my fav, Lagos Azul limestone. Oh and those double refrigerators must be nice!

If this doesn't say "New England" to you, then I don't know what will! So charming...

This is a glimpse of the Boston Dreamhouse library that Carter and Company designed. Everything going on here is gorgeous but I'm particularly smitten with the desk and the inlaid flooring (near the curtains).

Finally, here is an example from the set of historic properties they've worked on. Once again, they've infused a few key elements to keep the room from feeling stale. And aren't those dining chairs gorgeous? Besides the pretty gold-trimmed frame, the blue upholstery is just perfect.

Do you have a favorite room from the above? They are all amazing but I probably love the kitchens best mainly because it would be a dream to have a replica of one of them in my house!
Now THOSE ideas are fresh and inspiring. Thanks Kyle!
ReplyDeleteThat foyer is dreamy. Everything about it is perfection! Thanks for sharing.

Loving both of those kitchens, similarities but yet so different. xx
ReplyDeleteOooh they're all lovely, but I think the dining room with the mocha walls is my favorite. I love the contrast of the white trim with the dark walls and bright chandelier.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! :)
Carter and company is a very talented group. Love their style. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love those kitchens! I'm seriously on a kitchen kick!

Oh! I'm betting the island is honed lagos blue caesarstone. We have it in our kitchen combined with calacatta marble and it looks very similar. (And holds up a million times better than the real limestone which we used in a previous home and it etched like crazy!)
ReplyDeletep.s. love your blog!
Kyle, I love your style but honestly sometimes your grammar is so pretentious I cannot stomach it. Just being honest. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe first kithcen is gorgeous...I love that the subway tiles go all the way to the ceiling. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
