How did this Massachusetts home become a tropical oasis with modern flair? Interior designer Sashya Thind explains that unlike her clients’ projects, her own home was “more of an evolution of ideas as we lived in the home and embraced it.” The former doctor’s office is now a treasure trove of disparate delights; a harmonious blend of a seeming jumble of oxymoronic elements. Fourteen foot ceilings with a cozy vibe? Somehow it works. What drew me in was this velvety caterpillar of a couch just begging to be lounged upon. Turns out — naturally — it was a client’s reject that works perfectly in this lovely melting pot. Read all about it and get inspired to do your own thing.
NOTE: I’m out of the office for the next few weeks, but we want to keep your in box warm while I’m away. Below, find a couple of current homes for sale to tickle your taste buds. Read this week’s real estate section or peruse today’s open house listings for more, and I’ll be back before you know it! —Sarah
