midcentury modern flooring options - I need help!
Comments (20)awm, thank you! Our house isn't Architectually Important or anything, but I really love it. And I totally agree about split-levels. They get a bad rap, but when they're done right, they're very interesting. I'm so thankful that the previous owners did such a nice job on the addition - it really works with the flow of the house in a very seamless way. Although the cosmetic details aren't my thing, the overall flow really enhances the house. So it sounds like the consensus is to not do flagstone in the breakfast room, and to use the same flooring in the LR/DR, kitchen, entry and breakfast room - perhaps with the exception of a stone area in the entry. Any votes for trying to recreate the original flooring in the kitchen and entry - a mosaic tile? These are the original tiles that I've dug out from under the edges of the existing flooring. (yes, I go on "fact-finding" missions in my own house. I think of it as domestic archaeology!): To be clear - I wouldn't do the same colors - I'd use a mosaic tile but in a different colorway. I'm pretty sure I don't want to do this, but the purist in me thinks it could be interesting. Thoughts? Too weird? Too impractical?...See MoreSiding Color of New Home- Help!
Comments (3)I spent a TON of time scouring the internet for siding pictures, specifically the natural slate. I don’t have pictures of my own to share as we went a different direction but I found a lot of contractors will post pics on FB... just type Mastic Deep Granite etc in the search bar and then click photos....See MoreNW midcentury home needing new paint!

Comments (3)Cool house! Deep taupe or Cocoa Brown would be beautiful. Can't figure out what to do with those dang garage doors though LOL. Maybe match their color to the siding on the house to make them sort of disappear. (You might want to research Japanese Maple in your agricultural Zone. Here in Texas, they absolutely have to have shade, and the brutal Sun in a western exposure will fry them to a crisp.)...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 More- 20 days agolast modified: 20 days ago
