Displaying posts labeled "Mid-century"

I wanted to share this project by Amber Sokolowski of Soko Design because it shows how to inject personality into a home without much architectural interest. A fireplace in the dining room is a great feature, and despite it being somewhat oddly placed, is now a focal point when wrapped in graphic tile. Love the teak dining set adding some mid-century funk and adore the large scale artwork in the foyer.

Now this is one seriously cool remodel. It is so good I sent some photos of the kitchen to one of my sisters who is looking to renovate hers soon. I hope to gawd hers ends up looking similar. Not many kitchens have a little funk like this one. Kudos to Veneer Designs on a job really well done. Let’s start with a before photo:

Look at it now!

A recently transplanted couple of creatives, who were also expecting twins during the remodel, had a clear vision of how to update and refine their post and beam home tucked into the treetops of Pacific Palisades. Taking cues from nature as well as the home’s architecture, an earthy and brave interpretation of midcentury design was applied to the new kitchen layout and adjoining spaces.  Mahogany cabinets with color blocking, red oak rift cut wall paneling, epoxy floors, glazed thin brick specialty tile, and ceramic light pendants commissioned from Heather Rosenman come together to create a unique composition.

And here’s a before photo of the living room…

“An invitation to live, evolve, share..” It’s the philosophy behind the work of Lyon-based interior stylist Nathalie Rives. This apartment with its great bones, a mid-century vibe to the furniture and fabulous art is warm and elegant with bold use of colour and that certain French style. Is it just me, or do you agree, that the French do the sweetest children’s rooms?

Renowned for their restraint. Admired for their exquisitely curated rooms. Finders of treasure and seekers of beauty. Notoriously secretive about their clients but known to be one of Ellen DeGeneres’ favourite design firms. Welcome dear readers to another fabulous home by Clements Design.

I’m like a child in a candy store. Where do I look first? So much goodness to devour. Mid century furniture, gallery wall, the rugs, fabulous vignettes sprinkled with a great collection of West German pottery. I need to pore over these photos to wring out all the inspiration. In case you don’t realise I love this home by interior designer Mikel Irastorza. You can see more of his work here.
