I’m in the process of moving into a new apartment and have been drooling over these images of Darryl Carter’s D.C. townhouse as inspiration. While I love color and even a tad of clutter, something about his clean, neutral aesthetic really appeals to me these days. I love that the pieces in Carter’s rooms don’t compete with one another, but simply contain an understated elegance that when combined make for a grand statement. His array of rich natural materials has such a lovely organic feel and inject the bright white rooms with such warmth. My favorite room of the Beaux Arts townhouse is the bathroom with a pair of bathtubs salvaged from the Russian embassy—I guess there are perks to living on Embassy Row!

drool worthy indeed. I love the shelving for dishes on the island in the kitchen..and the tub duo – brilliant!
Love the whole design, but especially love the bathroom and tubs!
Those bathtubs with the stone seals are wonderful!
WOW. What a stunning space. Dying over the fireplace in the kitchen!
