INTERIORS WRITTEN BY Bek Mitchell-Kidd Bold F INTERIOR DESIGN BY Liz Caan PHOTOGRAPHY BY Sean Litchfield in Boston Few projects showcase a designer’s deftness with color and texture more than Liz Caan’s Fairmont Street design. Known for her signature play of pattern, color and texture, Liz has elevated some of Boston’s most distinctive and historic homes with renewed vitality and charm. Fairmont Street is also somewhat unique; it was an interiors project with sched- uled stages. Liz says, “We had previously done the children’s bedrooms on the second level. The client wanted to address the main living spaces—living room, foyer, family room and library. We still have kitchen, powder and mudroom in the lineup.” The main living space took approximately seven to eight months from the initial meeting to completion. The play on conservative meets color begins in the foyer; an Emporium chair with Pierre Frey velvet creates purpose, while a Merida rug defines a functional greeting area and sets the climate for the eclectic cleverness of the main level.
