FotoShoppe, LingoWatch, Monday is Mean Day
Beautiful Interiors, with a Side of Hatred
06 Apr 2009 @ 4:58 PM
Monday, being Mean Day, is a chance for us to seethe—and for you, too! Today’s FotoShoppe objects of contempt, envy and derision are a couple of interiors we’ve recently spotted on the altogether-too-fabulous Design Sponge.
Two recent posts took us inside the execrably beautiful homes of two Boston-area designers, and we got curious about their practice. ColorTHEORY, as it’s called, is a wretchedly exquisite outfit, and founding partners Brad Dufton and Jeremy McElwain have predictably lavish, numbingly gorgeous homes. The latter’s hallway is at right.
They go too far, however, in the humiliatingly poor copy that appears on their website—someone simply has got to set the LingoWatch police on these guys, pronto. A brief sample:
colorTHEORY is a full-service, residential Interior Painting and Wallpaper hanging company, servicing Boston & its’ surrounding areas… We will work hard to ensure that our end result, is to yours and your clients’ satisfaction, each and every time.
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear. Just for that, we’re gonna mean-up their houses. Click through, you dogs!

This is Brad’s living room. Lovely—a pity we must hate it.
This is Brad’s kitchen. Gripe, slobber, and curse.
This is Jeremy’s dining room. Wretch and spit.
