I'm a cat fan too. Plus, even though Baranzelli and Zimman's are clearly nicer, they're more expensive. So on a budget, Winmil is definitely worth a shot.

These shops are great... Good resources for any size wallet!

Hi, Melissa here....Thank you for your comments!

I’m on board with folks who don’t like the SoWa moniker… With the term popping up on banners and buildings all over the neighborhood it’s becoming harder to avoid!

bluebird: The paint color is the same on the walls and the bookcase. The color is called “Gig’s Grey” and is made by Pratt and Lambert.

dodo: Marble mantles here start around 2k, but are very dependent on the type of marble, detail level, and size. What we love about these mantles besides the look is that they are known to impact potential buyers. Restoration Resources does sell (and buy) a wide array of remnants at a wide array of price points, so they are worth a visit. I’d strongly advise negotiating on any item at this store – they are receptive.

Larrabee: The built-ins were done by the Housley Corporation in Rehoboth, MA. They were a very fair and reliable contractor. I would use them again in the future! Best of luck with your house work!

I believe mantle can be used - if you google it you find plenty of matches for mantle fireplaces...

The inn is beautiful and I love all the resources! Beautiful review.

Wow, very cool resource! The mantle redo looks fantastic and the store looks amazing. Will have to get over there asap to look for some of those beautiful historic pieces...

Thanks for the post - you're well on your way to becoming Boston's best blogger!

Ok post, but as a Bostoner I kind of wonder what the point of it all is? I was hoping the new Boston AT would get me excited about what this city offers the world of design, rather than simply add to the well-documented modernist movement occuring everywhere.

It's interesting to see that part of modernism's history exists in this area. But is the modernist trend unique to Boston or New England in any way? Do Gropius or his Bauhaus design invoke thoughts of this city? No and no.

Informative and nicely written, but I'm not sure this post differentiates itself from simply another iteration of modernism. I was hoping to get pumped about AT's foray into a special city that brings so much more to the table.
