Boston condo tour - Roop Style

I am SO excited to share a fantastic Boston Home with you today and I completely stumbled upon it by accident! Don't you just love when that happens? As I posted about here, I truly admire the local designer Frank Roop and his work. His style is consistently clean and fresh but with just the right amount of punch. He mixes textures unlike any other I know. I even have one of his foyer photos pinned up on my inspiration board, it's one of my "aspire to have" pictures! Take a walk with my through his newest project featured in the May issue of Metropolitan Home, it is just gorgeous!


This is the picture which stopped me in my tracks and told me to search out this space as it was something special. The powder coated steel stools are just amazing, so strong with the geometric cut outs. They are even Roop Designed. I wish this was 3D so I could scoot around the island and see what is going on over at the dining nook! The layered wallpaper draws you right in!



Can we stop for a moment and swoon over the leather raised floor?! I have always been drawn to raised rooms and this is FABULOUS! I love separating a space by a step up if it is at all possible. The back wall is a great take off of a traditional "built in bookcase". Take note of the accent color coming down the middle, slightly connecting all 3 rows. I am not sure if it is paint or wallpaper but that is a great affect! Yes that is THE Frank Roop hanging on the sofa.


This is a beautifully serene bedroom. The leather headboard and floating nightstand create the perfect amount of unique interest. With solid neutral bedding the focus really becomes the artwork.

Take a look at the living room above there are not many patterns here. The movement really comes from all the different textures in the room. Frank Roop used many versions of cashmere and velvets in this space along with nailhead trim and metals. The wallpaper has an interesting reflective quality.


Hope you enjoyed the visit of a Frank Roop designed condo! I can't wait to see what he does next.


All photos are by Eric Roth (more to come on him in the next few days). He is an amazing interior photographer and I am excited to be attending an event showcasing all of his work tomorrow night!

Peaking in the windows of the Transit Building


The building above sits stately on the corner of Newbury Street and Mass Ave in Boston. It's absolutely one of my favorite structures, it blends the old and new seamlessly. Adding to the appeal is the fact the 1918 building received a face lift by the famed Frank Gehry in 1987. He added the top 2 stories along with the parapet and copper struts. Luckily for us, designer Meichi Peng (one of my local favs!) and Boston Home paired up to give us a sneak peak into this amazing space! Peng designed the handsome condo below. With it's minimalist decor and dark finishes it is absolutely stunning!

imagine unwinding to this gorgeous city view every night?

minimal decor and furniture create a calm bedroom environment. take note, the only pattern in this room is from the accent pillows on the bed, very serene



the dark floors throughout give off a sophisticated warm feeling
