New house pics -- before and after
Comments (52)Cyn, evenshade, desertsteph, bbstx, thank you! Cyn, I love the wall by the tub and the courtyard surrounding the tub. Sadly, this view is probably the only thing I'll enjoy as our frantic lifestyles haven't lent themselves to relaxing baths. But you know, perhaps I should change that and make time to do things like take a long bath instead of a hurried shower. Your comments encourage me to try a different view of the wall. Kswl, that picture of the third mirror over the mantle was before new paint and floors when I was trying different small things around the house waiting for painters to start. I tried the first and third mirrors in the foyer and the first one proved to be too strong for that spot, with both the chandelier and mirror so close in distance, both equally big and dominant and so disparate in style. So, third mirror it is for the foyer, as partial as I am to the first one. Have to find a different spot for it, one that respects its features and accommodates them....See MoreNew House Before and After
Comments (11)Looks Great! I hope you can sit back now after all that work and enjoy your "new" home. One suggestion: big gray wall in living room - what about painting the vents and the outlet covers with the gray paint so they won't detract from your beautiful room?...See More90s Home before/after

Comments (31)Chiming in as an MCM enthusiast to say that I love how you integrated the lights and furniture into a one-story to bring make that mid-century minimalism homey and cozy and a sight for sore eyes. I think that is the trick, or the conundrum. Also along with @Marcia B, we are engaged in a renovation, but at the tail end of one instead of the start, of a late fifties/early sixties home, in this case a split level in a New England city neighborhood. No backing up onto a wooded area, which must be fantastic, but we do have a few mature trees on our small lot (sidenote on "visitors": deer and coyote within a quarter mile, and bands of turkeys are sighted every few days on our streets). Your post has reminded me to try to gather together before and after pics once my head clears. Another side note: my grandfather and grandmothers MCM items were part of the furniture of my experience as a child, and my mother continued the tradition (inheriting and then restoring grandpa's Eames chair, the one you have in the photo). I got to "babysit" that chair for a few years before she bought her condo so my small children got to experience that chair as I did). 1956 Christmas photo (my mother's family), offered here to show you the curtain fabric!...See Moredaisyjc2000
