It s full of practical, stylish design for real life.

If you could sum up the home of Connecticut-based designer Chauncey Boothby in just a short phrase, it would be “perfectly imperfect.” The mother of two young boys and a designer who studied under Charlotte Moss, Boothby knew she needed to strike a balance between an exquisitely designed home and durable space to raise her young family. “I set out to design a house that was a reflection of us and our lifestyle,” she says. “Things might not match perfectly, but they work.” And work they do. Her Connecticut home is a grandmillennial s dream filled to the brim with both IKEA and inherited “brown furniture” classics.
