Pratt & Deutsch Interiors

When we started on 81 L street South Boston, the space had absolutely no charm or historic detail to speak of. After a lot of planning and hard work we can confidently say that Petulas is now one of the most beautiful restaurants in south Boston.

We knew we wanted to restore some of the buildings former architecture so we took inspiration from the buildings exterior decorative moldings and went about reimagining what the interior could have looked like when it was originally constructed.

The previous owners had installed a drop ceiling, which we then removed, exposing the beautifully rustic beams and an additional four feet of ceiling height. We very thoughtfully selected tumbled marble tile for the floors to help define the entry and bar area and used corresponding tile in the bathrooms to unify the space. We wanted the room to be warm and inviting so we landed on a palate of deep greens, maroon, blush and plumb with the addition of creamy textured walls to further soften the look.

One of our favorite details are the beautiful floral picture moldings and plaster paint which we applied to the walls for more dimension. We also sourced a variety of antique accents from our shop in Brookline, The Green. Our Decorative lighting, plants and florals really helped to finish this space. The result is a timeless layered look that we believe people will enjoy for many years to come.

1867 Victorian Row house

Our goal with this project was to help our clients transition seamlessly from a two-family to a single-family home that was minimal, yet layered.

We used a mix of antique and modern furnishings, as well as an old world Italian marble, to add impact and interest to this neutrally paletted space.

1800'S wellesley grandE dame

This newly restored and renovated 1897 gem, nestled in the woods on a dirt road, complete with babbling brook and sun bathed fern gully. It was a magical property that we knew deserved special attention. 

Our favorite pieces are the custom built-in window seat, and the media wall. Once completed, both looked original to the house. Two perfect additions for a modern family, living in an antique home.

The design for this home pays homage to its historical background as a beachfront property, but is also contemporary and family friendly. We opted for classic patterns and materials that we knew would last. The finished product looks and feels completely compatible with the surrounding seascape.

Here, we opted for an unusual take on a traditional home built in the 1600's. Our
clients had inherited many beautiful pieces from their families.  We felt that it was important to incorporate these pieces into our design. Now, it feels fresh and old world, all at the same time.

We loved working with the dramatic, moody color palate of this Newton home built in 1863. We found the finished look to be thought provoking and a little mysterious.

Designed by W.C. Collett in 1896, this elegant home has been thoughtfully updated to maintain its architectural integrity. We added contemporary touches, which compliment the  unique charm and detail of this historical space.

We renovated this 1790’s colonial cottage so that it would highlight all the beauty of the original architecture, while creating space to accommodate modern family life. All of the finishes were intentionally chosen to echo the historical nature of the home.

We partnered with former designer Catelyn Juliano on this Historic Greek Revival built in 1840. The finished product reflects our blended styles and eye for color.

This project's personal and eclectic aesthetic was drawn from our passion of fashion, art, history.  Each piece was carefully selected to create a cohesive collected home.

We worked very closely with the developer of this home to create a look that feels formal
while still maintaining a family friendly atmosphere. The final look is clean and bright.
