Room Service: Bringing Up Brady
The little one arrives any day now. We help Tom get ready with suitably stylish nursery gear.
By Rachel Baker
When the Ramirez family hired Tony Cappoli to decorate Manny Jr.’s room, the South End designer turned the space into a pint-size Fenway. Asked to dream up a nursery for the new Beacon Street home Tom Brady has been renovating, however, the design pro aspired to more than just re-creating Gillette. “Tom’s style is classic-modern with very clean lines,” Cappoli says. “We’d make his nursery unique, but not incongruous.”
