EXTERIOR DESIGN

The Extraordinary Work of Carpenter & MacNeille

I came across the work of Boston-based architecture & interior design firm Carpenter & Macneille through an Instagram post a couple days ago. And am I glad I did!  They have an extraordinary body of work that's super duper inspiring. 

It all started with the most serene master bath I’ve laid eyes on, popping up in my Insta feed. She had me at hello with that beautiful trim and panel work. I went down the rabbit hole of exploring their projects further and learned a thing or two by observing their work.

Have a look -

Who else wants to take a soak in this bath pronto?   The paint on the trim is Farrow & Ball’s ParmaGray. It’s actually come through as more of a soft blue, but let’s not digress into the ever fascinating world of paint color names! :))

Some other examples of their work, exterior and interior -

Beautiful millwork on the upper deck of this home, with tall french doors below.

This porch is literal perfection. The wood floor, white board-and-batten siding, (what looks like) an antique porch bench, and that standout dark grey door - I love it down to the last detail. Crisp yet casual. Modern farmhouse. Chic.

The entry of the same house. Continuing the warmth and rustic appeal into the house.

A bright & beautiful kitchen. I like that the color of the island and fireplace trim are a subtle contrast to the white walls and cabinetry in the kitchen.

Love the marble wall tile in the shower?

The countertop in this kitchen is edged beautifully. That’s a triple-pencil edge. A gorgeous detail, adds so much character.

A very dramatic entry.

Wainscotting up to the ceiling, a bold serpentine mirror, and a peppering of blue - rug, staircase runner & upholstery. Pretty darn perfect.

A warm and colorful bathroom. The wallpaper and backsplash are a winning combination.

I’m sure I’ll be coming back many times over to their portfolio. I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did!
