Help with mid-century fixtures for kitchen, dining and entry!
Comments (1)We have a special section devoted just to mid-century modern style lighting! I looked in there for a few ideas that you might like. Since you said you are looking for just one fixture over your island, here are some linear fixtures: Crystorama Cameron Kichler Passport (limited quantities available) Hinkley Quentin (If you'd prefer to use a non-linear light fixture, those options are definitely available as well.) George Kovacs Conic Kichler Moxie Let's also look at some options for over your table. Trade Winds Retro George Kovacs Pontil (limited quantities available) Minka Lavery Pillar Sea Gull Alturas Hudson Valley Edgewood Savoy House Galea And finally, here are some ceiling light ideas. Savoy House Hagen Trade Winds Lattice Hinkley Hampton Savoy House Spinnaker Quorum Celeste Take a look at our mid-century modern lighting selection if you want to see more!...See MoreHelp with EXTERIOR design of Mid-Century Modern home
Comments (147)@Indecisiveness there will be windows lower in the bedrooms on each wing . We have one side that will open to a courtyard. so this won’t be in any comparison to a basement- that’s for sure. im Sure that was a fun experience! Basement living And a father who did it all himself. That was my life too (minus the basement). My dad would buy and sale quite a lot and we lived in many unfinished homes . He loves those fixer uppers and living in them until they sold. 😂 @Mark Bischak i do understand the garage statement . But having it away from the home gave us more space inside and more light. Would be open to any suggestions for sure. @ourfarmhouse- yes this home has very tall ceilings . Always wanted a two story feel in a one story home. The living room will have metal beams and lined with a light colored wood. The fire place will have a whole wall of rough white brick . @ourfarmhouse at the front of your renderimags- to the left of the orange door. What would this be? Kind of curious. I have already printed them out and wasn’t sure. as for the garage. It just wouldn’t fit pulled into the house now that we’ve added a mud room . so you like that flat roof wirh breeze way. Or do you see a different design maybe with some pitch to it? thanks again for your time (and everyone else’s)...See MoreCan I mix a mid century crystal sputnik with craftsman design?
Comments (15)Ok so we hope the house will be finished in May. We are pretty much ditching the eclectic modern look, and the mix of styles, so the Chippendale stuff is being given away to relatives, and the art that doesn't work is going as well. The piano room is open to the foyer and to three windows. Here is a picture of it. The three in the middle of the porch are where the piano will be. So you walk in and it's a mid-century modern sputnik chandelier then you look ahead and there is a great room with five windows facing the woods. There is a large stone fire place directly ahead of the door in the back of the great room. It is all very Craftsman with a Craftsman style custom mantel shelf. The mantel I just picked up yesterday so I would have it when they install the stone on the fireplace next week. I cannot get in to take a picture now because they are painting. So the house is blue and tan on the outside and green and cream on the interior. I thought I would put nice cushioned benches in the music room for folks to sit and listen to the piano. The bird tile on the mantel is removable to change it out if I want from Motawi tile in Michigan....See Moreneed help with exterior design of mid-century home!
Comments (16)it's a really cool door! a little too "flower power" for such a sleek modern exterior, but painting it will make it look better and be a nice holdover until you could afford a new door. (and keep the old one, I really do love it. maybe it could be repurposed somewhere else.) I'd suggest a new handle set too. updated but not too modern (anything too hard edged might look odd with that flowery design). such as this one from kwikset? I think it comes with a keypad version too if that's what you want. you can always relocated it to the new door when if that gets replaced....See MoreSandra
