Dick and Jane’s Mid-Century Modern Makeover!! (Before & After Pics)

November 5th, 2010
by vanessa

This one was fun!! The 3597 Eaglerock Dr. already had GREAT BONES and sits on one the most coveted lots in the Mid-Century Modern neighborhood of NORTHCREST! The lot is over an ACRE and the gardens have been loved and nurtured over the years to provide some of the most spectacular fruits and flowers!

Mr. and Mrs. Dingler lived and loved this house for close to 30 years and they had the basement dug out by hand to create a wonderful large office where Mr. Dingler could keep track of their day to day finances. The clean Mid-Century Modern lines of this house were left intact while we decided to go with a more modern gray color pallet for the outside and cool whites and blues for the interior. Wood Floors were added as well as a completely new kitchen and baths. All the electrical was updated along with some hip contemporary lighting that had a MCM twist. The copper plumbing is new and the “shag” a.k.a frieze carpet in the den added an element of cozy-class. The original hood-vent, which previously displayed an electric fireplace was left for the new owners to decide what they wanted to do with it. Some people like it some don’t. I personally think it gives the home a more original feeling and keeps in line with how the builders/ designers wanted it back in the 1960′s (but to each his own).

Northcrest was featured in the Atomic Ranch issue last winter. If you are interested in finding out more about this article please email me and I’ll send you a copy! Interested in finding out where to buy Mid-Century Modern Original pieces? Check out City Issue, Antique Factory and Highland Row!!

Enjoy looking at the dramatic changes and please forward to your friends and/or family who is looking for their very own Mid-Century Modern Home to call their own. This house is for sale and offered at $300,000.

Home is where the HEART is

September 12th, 2010
by vanessa

Jon & Kevin had us over for tamales the other night, what a treat!! this October will mark the year anniversary of their home purchase! We met when they were scoping out Northcrest and fell in love with a spectacular Mid-Century Modern renovation that was already under contract! Sadly, they put an offer in on another house in hopes of tweaking it and making it similar to the one they loved. I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason… The offer on their dream home fell through and when I called them to tell them the good news they were elated! A year later they have decked out their Mid-Century Modern replacing the carpet downstairs with travertine, adding museum quality lighting to showcase all of their folk art and topping each room off with DWR (design within reach) furniture.

5 SECRETS for installing the Perfect Back Splash

May 27th, 2010
by vanessa

Ok so in my opinion there is nothing sweeter than a super-cool back splash to top off a mid-Century Modern kitchen making it unique, lovely and awe-inspiring! Every modern (or traditional) renovation I design and follow through with has a back splash that makes the buyer’s heart pitter-pat, which leads to a FULL PRICE OFFER : )

The trick to installing the right back splash is knowing what your working with and complimenting the rest of the kitchen without being a “forgone conclusion” or an obnoxious, gaudy wannabe decorator. Some times it’s nice to add a little unexpected modern style in contrast with a tradition cabinetry (if that’s what your working with) or if your kitchen is monochrome add some color!
