In a Boston suburb, the once on-the-go couple keeps Christmas rooted. As a young married Canadian couple, the homeowners lived in various spots in the United States from New England to California. A career opportunity moved them to Australia. They then came back to a home in a Boston suburb. As their children grew older, they knew an update was in order and called Boston interior designer Gerald Pomeroy for new dining room curtains. Then they asked Pomeroy to redesign the living room. But like those Christmas treats where one bite leads to another, the craving for decorating grew.

With all of their children out of the house, clients Cat and Peter purchased a row home in the city. “They had started out there. Their first apartment was there. … They ultimately ended up finding a really charming brick row house in the South End from 1890. And it’s kind of ironic because it’s only a couple blocks from their first apartment, so it’s kind of like they’ve gone full circle,” Gerald Pomeroy of Gerald Pomeroy Interiors says.
Nancy and James Schibanoff had always been drawn to the historical. In southern California, where they spent most of their married life and raised their three children, they got involved in local preservation efforts to save an early 20th century Mission Revival house that now sits on the National Register of Historic Places. For their own home, they sought out 18th-century English furniture, collected 18th and 19th-century art, and amassed a trove of classic blue Delft tiles. So when they decided it was time to move east to be closer to their grown children and the grandkids, Boston—specifically historic Beacon Hill—seemed a natural place to settle.
