Help me make a mid century mid century modern
Comments (13)Read the Housetweaking blog from early 2011 through 2016/2017 or so. Dana and her husband bought an old, ugly midcentury and DIYed it into a really cool space - keeping the midcentury vibe but not being 100 percent married to it and doing it on a budget. They've moved on to a different house but all the old posts are still on the site. https://www.housetweaking.com/current-house/...See MoreHELP, Retro Pink Bathroom with Brick wall - Ideas anyone? Mid Century
Comments (33)I love this bathroom discussion. I swear it’s our bathroom from when we were in college in a California duplex. We had geometric 50s wallpaper that had teal, pink, lavender, orange and silver in it. The cabinet was wood and looked just like yours. I’d sand and seal the cabinet and go after vintage wallpaper. We have never had a tub that matched that one for relaxed soaking. The other half of the duplex had green tile, full out lavender tub and beige floor tile. Haha. The only thing that really looks bad is that window. The frame looks pretty rough....See MoreMid-Century Modern Fireplace Design Ideas
Comments (19)it's a mixture of lava rock and another type of rock. I'd be more of a fan if it was really tall (and I lived in the mountains) Or, was this cool dark color. (the copper hood and wood slat bench make the space) BTW, you could easily make it look like this. Romabio Masonry lime tinted a brown/black, and a very dark mortar for the joints. (which you could also 'paint') I still like the mortar wash option But, if you want to keep it as is, here's how to spruce up the stone. (Because right now, it's just not nice looking) Clean it w/a good stone cleaner. redo the mortar joints (repipe it ) and then apply an enhancing sealer to the stone. you should get pretty close to this look Looks better w/the appropriate lighting and the wood ceiling. The rock itself isn't anything to leave earth for. it's not some iconic mid century design. It's just something done in the 60's. if you like it great. But if you want to pay homage to more of a mid century look, there are better options. Do a roman brick like mentioned above, or even a glazed brick If it was mine, I'd do something darker like this (stacked brick) Bring in the right design, and this is gorgeous. more of a modern look w/3D tiles and black surround try a basalt or slate tile (I think the darker ones look so much nicer than lava rock) redoing it w/something a bit more linear: And, if you remove the stone, you can restyle it anyway you want. Here are the thinner bricks in a matte black w/a vertical paneling above the natural wood mantle. imagine it w/o your popcorn and the eyeball light and vertical blinds! so much better...See MoreRenovating a Mid Century Ranch.
