Our Sunshiny Mid-Century Modern House!
There will be some before and after photos, but to get the full view of the before house please go to: HenderBalz Blog: Adventures at Home !
As always if you want to see the full photo album, click on any of the photos!
Welcome to the Living Room!
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…
Old Below!
You get the point…new paint, furniture and personal touches!
The Foyer…
Could not pass up the light fixture that Jim rebuilt and the Sears star burst clock that my Step Father fixed!
A corner here…
The Above Corner has my Mid-Century Belt Chair and a bunch of drift wood in the corner!
And a corner there!
The above Corner has our somewhat collection of international stools…two are old, one is from Honduras!
The Dining Room!
We love our new OLD dining room lamp that Jim rebuilt!
And now our bedroom!
Oh so cool, airy and grey with a splash of color!
New Above….
Before Below:
The other side (plus a tri-pod, an air filter and Chloe):
The Master Bath!
And Before!
No more carpet, stripped wall paper or dressing room lights!
Now…
THE FAMILY ROOM!
And what it used to look like!
The Whole Picture!
We want a cool low profile mid-century couch in this room, probably where the table and chairs are…but have not found one we like enough yet!
And Introducing…
THE KITCHEN!
And a similar view from before!
Bright and Happy!
Similar shot from before:
Personal Touches!
In the Kitchen:
And in a Hall!
TaaDaaa…
Jim’s new Office/Den/Man Cave!
And the old Dark Den!
Personal Touches in the Den!
And…
The guest room / Dawn’s Making Things Room!
Cozy Area!
And Work Area! (The table enlarges!)
The Pink Jack & Jill Bath just needed some love and a spit shine!
Half Bath is just a “happy” as before…
But updated!
And with personal touches!
The new front!
The old front!
Not sure you can tell the changes…
All the cranky 50-year-old bushes were removed and more tropical plants were put in AND the entire outside was painted!
Love our new mid-century style shutters and the pop of flower in front!
The new Landscaped Corner Island!
The old corner:
New side yard “Island” landscaping!
And if you ever visit (And you know YOU ALL are invited) the Garage Door Entrance Welcome Area!
WE Love our new place and had fun and some fights getting it to this point, but it is not still 100% done!
And 10 pieces in these photos, I created! Can you guess which 10?
Look forward to finishing it completely!
