Modern Simplicity! Divine design meets intoxicating Mid-Century Modern Renovation! A fresh take on a retro classic. This home has it all from the NEW glossy, white kitchen to the fun, original “Hollywood” bath. The moment you step over the threshold you won’t want to leave. The fresh designer paint and beautiful glowing hardwoods get an A+. The original tongue and groove wood ceilings are in primo condition and the HUGE Picture windows let in an abundance of natural light.

Are you an avid gardener? Maybe you just love flowers? This Mid-Century Modern Home has amazing mature gardens that boast endless amounts of perennial foliage all Spring and Summer. Plus if you need a gardener just ask Bill next door, he has lovingly been taking care of the yard and gardens for over 20 years. The covered front patio is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning cup of joe while smelling the floral fragrances and waving to the smiling neighbors.

If walls could talk this classic Modern gem would tell you stories from decades come and gone, Holidays filled with love and memories never forgotten. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this opportunity. “Honey pack your bags, we’re movin’ to 3664 Eaglerock Dr!”

A very cool Mid-Century Modern Home featured in the AJC ;-)

So the other day I got a phone call from a guy who said he worked for the AJC, at first I thought he was going to try and sell me some kind of advertising package, but when he started explaining how he was a reporter who focused writing about personal residences for the AJC Homefinder section, my ears pricked up and my heart started beating fast. You see, I’ve always enjoyed getting attention, ever since I was an obnoxious, snot-nosed little kid I would do all kinds of morally wrong things just to get my mom’s attention. This is what happens when you are the only child for 8 years and then all of a sudden you get 2 younger siblings. So when the reporter/photographer asked if he could photograph my house and write a little blurb about my business and decor aesthetic I didn’t say “yes,” I said: “ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!” Then put the phone down and sprung into consecutive back-flipps.

Ok so now that my ego is over-inflated here are some pictures of my oh-so-fabulous Mid-Century Modern Home that I have tenderly renovated and decorated of the years.

Real estate agent Vanessa Reilly relaxes with her dogs Desi and Chloe at her Atlanta home.

Vanessa Reilly bought a pair of orange velveteen chairs at an estate sale for $60. "I had to completely re-decorate because of them," she says.

Vanessa Reilly describes her interior design style as midcentury madness with a sprinkle of "Glamazon." She has filled the house with pieces that "make me happy," she says.

A set of antique Elk Antlers adorn the brick accent wall.

The living room features a Roman brick accent wall that used to be a decorative fireplace in the 1960s.

The furnishings and art have been collected over the years and include a classic Eames lounge chair.

Reilly's experimental design -- and personality --is seen in areas such as the upstairs Hollywood-style bathroom.

“When I’m having a bad day, I will take it out on my house and re-¿arrange the furniture,” Vanessa Reilly says. “When I get the urge to move, which is about once a year, I will just call my painter instead."

The dining room features a 78-inch oval Saarinen marble dining table that Reilly said she drooled over for several years before buying it.

The kitchen is simple with a punchy green back splash and a big picture window that overlooks the backyard.

Reilly painted the bedroom walls a soft grey blue and kept the furnishings simple. Because of the big picture window she chose a low rise IKEA platform bed. The light birch finish of the bed matches the light wood ceilings.

The foyer has five skylights, an artist console with tiny drawers for storing paint, and a vintage Tomesode kimono.

Vanessa Reilly bought her Atlanta home in 2008. She originally hated the man-made berm in the front yard, but has grown to love it over the years. "The berm shields the home from the street, providing an abundance of privacy," she says.

A Mid-Century Modern Makeover: Before & After

August 17th, 2011

by vanessa

This ugly duckling needed a serious makeover, and not the 30-minute kind. It had been sitting vacant for over 6 months before it was bought from the bank. Everything needed fixin’ and in my humble (and professional) opinion I think we done good.

The dramatic and modern color pallet is what really sets this Mid-Century, tri-level home apart from the pack. I chose an “Urban Bronze” to accents the beams and facia on the outside then continued with it on the interior as a juxtaposition with the white tongue and groove ceilings. For those of you who were lucky enough to see the 3360 Archwood Drive renovation you might be thinking “gosh, those cabinets sure do look familiar?” Well your right, same glossy, zebra veneer, but we decided to go horizontal on the stripe, which lends itself better to the modern design elements of this modern home (at least that’s what they’re saying on HGTV).

3624 Summitridge Drive did not have the notorious “hollywood bathroom” with the shared shower that so many buyers dislike. Instead there was a full bath with incredible, grey and yellow original, mosaic tile that was cleaned and re-grouted. We then continued with the grey theme adding the “Carrera” subway tile vertically up the shower walls and extending along one accent wall. The floating vanity was custom build by the same company that did the kitchen.

This master suite differs from most because it has a private deck that overlooks the backyard which opens up the space and provides even more morning light. It’s also a perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of mocha-java-minty-soy-sugar-free-choco-latte while listening to the soothing sounds of nature in your very own wildlife sanctuary backyard, only minutes from the bustling city of Atlanta, and all for $295k…. Ok enough sales pitch, let’s look at some before and after pictures!!

p.s. this house just hit the market and is priced to sell at $295,000 for all pictures and info CLICK HERE or give me a jingle to set up a showing 404-556-1733. Or for more Modern Atlanta Homes You know where to CLICK.

We don’t want to brag, but here at domoREALTY we are kind of a big deal. It still surprises us when we introduce ourselves only to be asked “Do-Mo who?” or “what is DO-MO?” or “Where did you come up with that name?” shortly followed by “…Oh, is that from that robot song?”

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but domoREALTY did not highjack our name from the famous 80′s Styx song: Domo Arigato Mr. Robato.

For those of you who did not sign up for your High School Latin class: Domus is the Latin word for home. We dropped the “us” added an “o” to make it sound more modern and va-la: domoREALTY was born!

Now that you are in the know about Domo, let’s continue to talk about how cool we are… So with all the negative news about the housing market these days we thought it would be fun to share some GOOD NEWS about the Atlanta MODERN Real Estate Market!

Recently domoREALTY has been getting a little recognition in the Atlanta press, so why not share these upbeat articles about the Modern Real Estate market in Metro Atlanta?! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Smoking kills and makes you smell bad, but it’s ok to hold a cigarette every now and then just to look cool in pictures. Just don’t inhale.
