jeremypeek1
last week we got a peek into the beautiful boston home of brad dufton of colortheory. today we’re getting a peek into his business partner, jeremy mcelwain’s lovely home. originally from massachusett’s north shore, jeremy came into the design world at age 13 via carpentry with his father. now he runs colortheory with brad, specializing in home renovation and interior painting. in addition to his design work with colortheory, jeremy has been a realtor with keller williams for the past 10 years in boston. when he’s not working in home design, jeremy spends his time with his wife mary and their two children, lol and lucca- and they’re pup ketel. today they’re sharing their home with us and i hope you’ll enjoy it as much as i did! click here for more information on brad’s work with colortheory.

colorTHEORY has absolutely gorgeous interior designs. I love not only their use of beautiful colors, but their ability to use many different styles in their designs.

What a great house tour! I love the high chair railing! The blue in the top portion of the dining room is amazing; what color and paint brand is it?

Gorgeous rug in that first photo! And I love the green dresser–very Cargo (in Portland).

That bright green, like the rocking chair, is electrifying things all over the place. New trend?

The wallpaper in the first (two) images is wonderful! I would love to know where it’s from. I also love how he kept what I am assuming is the existing tile in the bathroom and made it look fabulous with a clean and colorful matching shower curtain.

What a great combination of pieces! I love how they worked the rustic accents in. My fiance loves the rustic wood pieces, and I am not a fan, they look great here though! Maybe we can figure out a nice compromise!
Thanks for the insight!

I love it all — The living room walls and window treatments, the furniture, the dining room chairs and light fixture and the colors — turquoise and red!!

April 6th, 2009 - 12:37 pm

THANK YOU !!!! For all the great comments I am blushing :)

To answer some of the questions:

- I am lloking for the dining room color (it is C2 brand paint)

-living room color is: Silver Sage (resoration hardware paint)

-the chandelier is a custom piece that a store in Boston used to commision an artist in Europe for but they no longer work with them (It is our favorite peice!)

-the dining rug is IKEA

thanks again!!!!!

Dang, what a great use of color and mix of textures. I have a feeling that being in this space would reveal more and more treasures.

I got a nice jolt just looking at all the beautiful colors and how well they’re used in each room. Your house is amazing. If I could, I would kidnap your dining room!

Love what you did with the paisley wallpaper!

That is literally my dream dining room, colorful, whimsical and yet grown-up. Perfect!

April 6th, 2009 - 9:56 pm

the wall paper is by Cole and Son and I can not remember the design. If I think of it I will post. It was in Domino Magazing a few years ago

Original Cool Design – Love it and not filled with the typical design cliches found on most of these sneak peaks. The owls and deer antlers are a bit tired and dusty. thanks for something fresh and inspiring

jeremy McElwain said:
April 12th, 2009 - 7:28 pm

The black chair is an original mid-century piece from a small maker. I am not sure who made it though.

THANKS again for all the amazing comments. They have motivated me to finish more projects!!
