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!

All the Numbers in Boston!

All the Numbers is one of the sweetest stores on Etsy. Kiki, the designer creates the most adorable tunics, they are full of colorful patterns and are even reversible! The little one can grow with this fashionable find. She can wear it as a tunic when little and as a longer top when she gets bigger! Fantastic, this is going to the top of the gift giving list! All the Numbers is also a Boston based company, we love to support the creative locals!

The Grand Frank Roop!

Frank Roop is an amazing interior designer here in Boston and I am a big fan. His work is clean with a great bit of whimsy, just the type of design I am drawn to for myself. I discovered his work while flipping through Boston Magazine Home where they profiled him in his amazing Back Bay house. Gorgeous, does not even begin to describe his personal space. The way the rooms are arranged is a sneak peak into his background as a merchandiser. Like myself Roop started as a merchandiser for a Newbury Street clothing store before jumping over to interiors, yet another reason I am drawn to his style! His rooms are full of small details, which if the viewer does not take a moment to find could be overlooked. It's these small details which make his rooms so grand! Here are some dreamy rooms to swoon over!
