Any ideas on how to make exterior look more mid-century modern?
Comments (2)How much do you want to spend? or DIY? The carport is the overwhelming feature right now. Do you need it as a carport, or are you open to converting it to another use, like a sunroom or even just a covered porch? I think one thing that might work to reduce the impact of the carport but still keep it, is to remove the large filled in triangle below the carport roof, and replace it with a few horizontal wood beams, either stained or painted. Add some MCM looking wood trim around the doors and windows too, stained or painted to match. Add some stone looking cladding to match the house on the support columns. I think a color like the one on this house would look good -- with all the trim in either weathered wood, black, or cream as pictured...See MoreLooking to build. contemporary/mid century home
Comments (4)Check out the Maryland Building Industry Association mbia.org . Their montgomery county custom builder chapter gives annual awards to architects and builders for different categories of custom homes from classic, transitional and modern 3,000 to 10,000 sq feet and gives you their direct websites where you can see what they build and contact them directly. I would avoid using some of the websites which claim to match you with a builder because they get a large commission from the builder and you can bet that cost is passed though....See MoreSmall living room mid-century modern look
Comments (34)The look of the little table works with the space. A pair of comfortable wood chairs with separate cushions you can change out is all you really need unless you're spending a lot of time sitting in them -- on the computer or visiting with a friend ... then you might want chairs with more upholstery and more cushion comfort. If you're choosing the plain wood chairs, make sure the wood back is made of the wider flat boards that are curved ( rather than vertical round dowels ). Have had both and the flat curved boards will be a lot more comfortable. I like the high back for extended sitting and these kinds of seats are comfortable and easily covered when need to be changed. You need to scroll over the page left of the wording to get the chairs to appear with this link: https://www.amishoriginals.com/shop/shaker-ladder-11320/ Or you might consider a pair of saddle stools for the table and bar. Do sit in whatever you are considering buying. https://www.google.com/search?q=wide+scooped+wood+saddle+stools&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiC1Jj276btAhURqlkKHfRlD9kQ_AUoAnoECAYQBA&biw=1366&bih=654 Or you might consider a pair of saddle stools for the table and/or bar.

A large framed vertical poster on the wall (no wider than your bar/countertop) would work left of the tv across from the bar/countertop if you have a special interest you want represented in the room -- some place or pastime or hobby or team you support. Like the idea of the "window": https://www.zazzle.com/fake_window_poster-228195308274074493?rf=238840279726397180&tc=EAIaIQobChMI6uzEn_mm7QIVgrKGCh0u0gGnEAQYBSABEgJ2aPD_BwE&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_shopping&utm_term=z228195308274074493&ca_chid=2001810&ca_source=gaw&ca_ace=&ca_nw=g&ca_dev=c&ca_pl=&ca_pos=&ca_cid=303811431291&ca_agid=59506835414&ca_caid=1600127652&ca_adid=303811431291&ca_kwt=&ca_mt=&ca_fid=&ca_tid=aud-540000688047:pla-940848662132&ca_lp=9011011&ca_li=&ca_devm=&ca_plt=&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6uzEn_mm7QIVgrKGCh0u0gGnEAQYBSABEgJ2aPD_BwE...See MoreMid Century to Mid Century Modern- South Florida- Windows & Backyard
Comments (0)We are purchasing a fun little mid century ranch in Lake Worth, FL. We'll be meeting with a GC to go over the project once we close, but for now, I'm kicking around different ideas on the windows, and the backyard. We want to bring in a MCM vibe, but not completely over the top. Most important, for me, is keeping similar lines/style to the existing windows. But... the windows are large, and are stacked awnings, which cannot be found in impact windows. My initial thought is to do the front LR window, which is a 2x4 stacked awning, in a casement with horizontal muntins, and do the Bedroom windows, all 2x2 Stacked awnings, as twin awnings, also with a horizontal muntin. But so far, I'm getting costs of $2k per opening just for materials for awnings and casement, which really is not in my budget. Are there alternatives that I am not considering that would be more affordable? The reason my budget is so low for the windows is because I plan to spend all of my money on the backyard, ha. Our goal is to create a beautiful spa-like backyard. My rendering is pretty self explanatory, but we are looking at a pre-cast concrete plunge pool, with the edge of the pool providing the backing for benches around a firepit. To the right, we'll have floating steps up to a multi-level sundeck. The tall sundeck will be the pool entrance, and the lower sundeck will be a built in daybed. Where I get a little lost is in how to design the back porch. I'd love to figure out something MCM, but also a bit of a Key West vibe, and I'm just not sure those two styles can be married. My initial rendering, out of lack of any other ideas, is just a pergola with a solid top. Whatever we do on the back, I'd like to tie in the front carport. Do we just replicate the carport's style on the back porch? Would that go with the spa-like vibe we are going for out back? What do you all think?

- 6 years agohere it is. I sawed off legs to make it flat. I want to do something interesting with it, maybe gold leaf top or something. I got it because I like refinishing furniture and I wanted a project. if it doesn't turn out I can just order one. I think it's an aquarium stand but it has cut outs for electronics. I just want a few cool details without having to try and alter a new $400 purchase because I'm just not that good at DIY or that confident. :)

- 6 years agothese are the pillows I ordered. I have a bird on my hutch and on my mantle so I thought it would be a nice accent. I think it will be cool to have a small bird in each room of the house. it's 11x17 which is just slightly shorter than the wisdth of the chair. finishing curtains today, tv stand tomorrow. then I'll photograph it!!
- 6 years agoand one more to say thank you so so much!! I could never have done this without your help, wisdom, and style!!!
