BOSTON HOME Magazine features Lisa Tharp's Governor's House

The goal for the interior architecture was to enhance and complement the classical beauty of the existing architecture.

"Since 'the bones, the light, and the architectural proportions were great,' Tharp says, she proposed they cover the walls, the trim, and the ceilings with a fresh coat of white paint... 'A crisp white palette snaps old interiors to fresh attention while serving as an atmospheric backdrop to a mix of interesting players,' she says."
