paint-by-number wall art | Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art | Porches Inn

Check In

by Elaine Glusac

SLEEP ON IT

Bed down in the clever new Porches Inn when your leaf-gawking getaway takes you to Massachusetts’ Berkshires this season. The stylish 50-roomer occupies a series of six restored 1890s houses that conceal a funky modernism-goes-New-England interior. Bold colors cover wood floors and paneled walls in pairings of olive and terra cotta, and red and blueberry. Forties and ’50s lamps and paint-by-number wall art join old-fashioned claw-foot tubs and Shaker-style wall pegs in the rooms. Connected by a long, rocker-lined porch, the vintage buildings face the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, aka MASS MoCA. From $150. (413) 664-0400, www.porches.com
