Is diversifying the right word?

1960s/70s Porcelain Seagull and Wood Art Sculpture.
  • DIVERSIFY: enlarge or vary the range of products or the field of operation of (a business).”we’re confident that the new owners will grow and diversify the company globally”

Still Not Sure!

Although I do mostly Mid Century, I do have a small handful of antiques like these Wax Seal Stamps I picked up in Helsinki, Finland

SYNONYMS FOR diversify

Equals Something I like to Call…

The Gnomad Beach Pad!

Built in the Mid Century and Only Blocks from the Beach.

A Match Made in Style and Relaxation Heaven!

20180210_133037-DSC_0126

It’s not just a home, its a vacation for you, or a great set for your filming production, or a nice location for a photo shoot!

2015-10-31 15.11.55

I mean check out the Sunken Living Room.  The Gnomad Beach Pad was Built in 1964. Old Stan kept great care of the house and we were happy to take it over after his death in 2012.  We honored him and his wife by not making a ton of changes.

20151031_151522-1

You can see in a previous post the changes we made: Our House Out House

I decorated the entire house with picked and found items.

20180204_084402-DSC_0002

I went with the design theme of Mid Century, because, well, It was built in the Mid Century!

20180211_075116-DSC_0238

I mean look at that original Formica counter top…

So we had to go all the way Mid Century in the Kitchen.

20180205_071708-DSC_0007

Vintage Tupperware for any and all occasion or storage needs!

20180211_085229-DSC_0282 (2)

20180211_085642-DSC_0289 (2)_LI

Lovely Bunch of Lovely Vintage Bowls that I slowly collected by picking often and regularly.

20180210_112732-DSC_0052

Now for on top of the super cute Formica counter top!

20180210_112759-DSC_0053

Some of the stuff is just for show, and some for use, but love it all!

20180211_075110-DSC_0237.JPG

And yes those are old Cosco Stepping Stools as seating at the very large peninsula counter top!  Perfect height, why not?

20180211_075321-DSC_0242

Moving over to the Family room, the Hub of the House!

20180211_075103-DSC_0236

One big giant room with a fireplace on ones side and the sliding glass doors to the patio on the other side.

And a big TV, DVD Player and a Stereo for your entertaining pleasures.

Easy Breezy Back Patio with curtains that go all the way around for extra privacy.

And get this…an Outside Shower with HOT water.

20180210_133405-DSC_0141

The front and side grass covered yards provide enough area for a football game and croquet match to go on a the same time, if not more activities!

20180210_133150-DSC_0130

So much room for so much fun!

20180206_110413-DSC_0006

Now that I wore you out with all those activities…

Let’s go the rooms of rest!

20180211_082643-DSC_0254

The Master Bedroom itself is a retreat!  Large, Light, Airy and oh so Comfortable!

And then there is the large En Suite Master Bathroom!

20180211_083734-DSC_0258

The Shower Sliding Doors and Toilet Private Swinging Door are to Mid Century Die For!

And the Huge Sunken Tub is to Relax in!  It is a Mid Century Beachy Mini Spa Room!

And now the Guest Rooms…

There is half bath too, but I have to leave something for your imagination!

Welcome to the Living Room!

From House House Lovely House!

We may just leave this oh-so-not mid-century couch in this room as both the room and the couch are big and they fit each other!

94% of everything else in the living and dining rooms is from the Mid-Century!

Matter of fact, most of the house is furnished with mid-century items…down to the set of Sears flatware my Mom gave me as a teen probably for my hope chest!

New Living & Dining Above…

Could not pass up the light fixture that Jim rebuilt and the Sears star burst clock that my Step Father fixed!
