Monochrome mid mod

Posted on Wed, 11 Jan 2017 by midcenturyjo

He’s the master of mixing eras, of taking a limited palette and adding richness and interest through texture and shape. French-born, Spanish-based Serge Castella’s take on mid modern is fresh, artistic and just a little quirky. Who could mix an elegant French commode with Roman amphora and still remain true to the mid mod aesthetic? His background in fashion and antiques is obvious in his interior design work. Stylish, chic and totally individual.

Let’s talk about this room. Walls of white and all those windows. Light dancing across the floor. Green lamps playing against the greenery just outside. Love it. You can see more of this wonderful house by Annette English & Associates here.

Stalking a 1960s beach house

Posted on Thu, 3 Nov 2016 by midcenturyjo

Dear readers please lend me a squillion dollars so I can buy this Pearl Beach house designed in 1963 by architect Brian Mazlin, with restoration and interior design by TFAD in 2010. It takes me back to a simpler time, when beach houses sat nestled in bush surrounds, a glimpse of sea and the sound of crashing waves all the decoration you really needed. Simple, honest, practical and probably way too expensive for me because of its exclusive enclave position on Sydney’s northern beaches. Other than that it’s just too perfect. For sale via Modern House.
