A pristine 1912 house on the Massachusetts coast recently decorated by AD100 designer AD100 Frances Merrill (last image) revels in all the signatures of @reathdesign: A vibrant use of color and pattern, combined with plenty of eclecticism, charm and whimsy. Owner Katie Jordan, a repeat client, says “I was looking for an older home nobody had ruined,” and this one was untouched, with no notable additions or changes. Merrill understood the assignment. Rather than trying to mold the interior into a more contemporary layout, she and Jordan opted to keep much of the old-style configuration of the rooms, providing a wealth of intimate nooks and corners. “We just wanted it to feel easy and comfortable,” says Merrill.
