A midcentury modern home done sooo right

Posted on Mon, 15 May 2023 by KiM

A remodel of a California Mid Century home, lovingly architected and built by Meghan’s grandfather, Donald Park, in 1950. As an homage to the architecture, we drew upon his original design details for inspiration and playfully updated the finish palate to give the home a warm but revived sensibility. For the furnishings, we referenced 60’s Ranch House decor, which allowed us to introduce traditional fabrics and classical silhouettes into the post and beam setting.
I love midcentury architecture but often wonder what direction I would take with the décor if I owned a home in this style. Though I may love MCM architecture, I don’t necessarily want the décor to be so typical of the period. This, my friends, is exactly how it should be done. Meghan Eisenberg did her family proud.

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself to work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. 255 George Street by Richards Standish.

So chic, so sophisticated, so French. A modern with mid-century take on the Haussmannian style with its mix of French tradition and style with vintage furniture, exclusive 20th-century antiques and bespoke furniture. Luxembourg Gardens by Argentine-trained Paris-based architect Luis Laplace.

La Pedrera

I came across this apartment after falling down a rabbit hole of blog research randomness and had to share. This is the Barcelona home of Ana Viladomiu located in the iconic La Pedrera building designed by Antoni Gaudi. Clara Quintana Studio art directed this shoot for Santa & Cole lighting, with photography by Salva López. The materials and architectural detail make this soooo special. Must be a little strange though living in a building that has become a tourist attraction.

Who knew Québec slate and burnt wood could be so sexy and modern and perfect for cabin/chalet life? Chalet du Marin is another project by la Shed Architecture that has me in complete awe. Absolutely storing this one away in my inspiration folder. Particularly the photo of the plant/dog shower. OMG. Photos: Maxime Brouillet
