Having previously lived in a Spanish bungalow, this couple wasn’t aware of their 1959 home’s mid century style when they moved in in 2012. But Sharon had always been fascinated by Mid Century Modern furniture and had dreamed of attending Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Her husband surprised her with tickets one year, and after attending, they noticed their own home’s mid century architecture and decided to remodel their kitchen to complement it. With the help of a resourceful team, they transformed their dilapidated kitchen into a space worthy of its history. Mid Century Makeover Another reason Sharon and Rick didn’t know the true style of their home was because it had been stripped of its original interior details. “The previous homeowners had makeovers done that didn’t make sense with…

When it came time to move from Kansas City, Patti Pate and her husband, Joel Butner, decided to settle near downtown Punta Gorda, Florida. It wasn’t just the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico or the shops and restaurants within walking distance that drew them to the coast, but the ability to build a modern, out-of-the-box home. “We liked the fact that downtown really encouraged diversity in home styles,” Patti explains. “So that allowed us to realize that we could be a little bit more creative in our design.” The couple’s fondness for Mid Century Modern design was the main influence behind the 2018 build. “We’ve had a love of that era forever,” she says. “But we also love the playfulness of adding the unexpected aspects of a home when…

When Deidre Campbell and her husband, Frank, did a walkthrough of this Newport Beach home, she didn’t know it was about to become her new project. “We bought it thinking that we would use it as a rental, and I just got inspired and it became a design project,” Deidre says. The home, just around the corner from their own, was for sale by the original owner and in desperate need of some new life. There was no original architect listed on file and no pedigree to speak of, so Deidre doesn’t consider the house a mid century masterpiece, but she was still so drawn to the space. “I love the bones of the house. It’s just a really simple, great house,” she says. “There were some elements that made…

As the granddaughter of the original owner, Elisa Belknap was already primed on the history of the home she shares with her husband, Clayton, but wanted to know more. When she and Clayton began the process of purchasing the home, they reached out to a Little Rock-area Mid Century Modern Facebook group to get help finding out more information. The group helped the couple uncover more of their home’s history and got the home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “Little did we know they were in the habit of nominating houses for our local historic register and were adding Mid Century Modern homes especially,” Elisa recalls from reaching out to the group. “Once they realized that my grandfather was a person of local significance, they realized that…

Location, location, location! Heralded in real estate as the defining value factor for a property, a home’s location can deeply influence its architecture and its overall design. The connection between indoor and outdoor living is an essential feature of the Mid Century Modern style, leading to an abundance of windows, open and covered outdoor spaces and architectural features that draw the eye while also somehow seeming to blend into the landscape. Local Austin architect A.D. Stenger loved to play with these elements of Mid Century style, all while adding in his own bit of flair. A prolific developer and architect, he is responsible for more than 100 homes around Austin. This 1955 build located in the Barton Springs area exemplifies the creativity, functionality and welcoming feel that characterize Stenger’s designs.…

IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW A HOME CAN BE TRANSFORMED from design-era disaster back to its former glory as a mid century marvel, here’s an amazing case study for you. Meg Tracz and Matt Mendell moved into this 1959-built ranch in Denver, Colorado, so they could feed their passion for hiking through the region’s mountains. They loved the home’s architecture, but the interior displayed decades of outdated décor and floor plans. It was a daunting task that required a design professional at the helm, so they asked Ashley Christensen, lead designer at TVL Creative, to transport the home back to its former glory. “Our clients purchased the home from the original owner/builder and brought us in to orchestrate their remodel before moving in,” Ashley says. “There hadn’t been any…

It’s everything!” His online shop, dedicated to MCM-inspired canvas art prints, features several pieces intended to bring a bit of that spirit into the home. MAKE A STATEMENT.

By ERIN LAWRENCE Part of the allure of a Mid Century Modern home is the history that’s seeped deep into every corner. Trying to replicate that feeling can be a challenge when it comes to a new mid century-style build, and when that home also has strict rules about setbacks and it needs to be built to withstand a hurricane, well, that’s a challenge that’s not for the faint of heart. None of that deterred Janie and John-Paul Micek of Studio 818 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As California transplants, the couple were intimately familiar with Mid Century Modern architecture and design. When they began looking at the homes in the city—seeking those with the openness, natural materials, connection to the outdoors and soaring rooflines mid century homes in Palm Springs are…

The L-shaped, two-story, woodnestledhome boasting an array of enviable original features would be a must-see for any house hunter with a passion for mid century design. For current owners Elisa and Clayton Belknap, it was the Little Rock home’s story as much as its style that made it a must-buy for them. The home had been owned by just one other family: Elisa’s grandparents. “My grandparents were a huge part of our lives,” she says. “They kept me before I was old enough for school, on holidays, on days I was sick, and we always had Sunday night family dinner at their house. If there is one house that has been a constant in my entire life, it is this one.” Dr. Eugene Towbin had the home built in 1960…

PASSIONS OFTEN FIND YOU AGAIN, right when you need them. Exhibit A is Darryl and Jessica Sharpton. Darryl was a linebacker for the Houston Texans for five years and Jessica was an oil and gas consultant turned custom-home designer. When Darryl took off his helmet for the final time, he decided to return to an old love, furniture. Excited by the prospect, Jessica joined him in the venture—and Edloe Finch and Albany Park were born. They are two parallel branches of one vision: Mid Century Modern-inspired furniture for the contemporary home. “I love being able to create furniture that’s functional and sexy,” Darryl says. “I want to help people get away from clunky, ugly furniture, so they can create a space that is both cozy and aesthetically pleasing.” Jessica adds,…

WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER SARAH STACEY TOOK on this remodel for a busy family of five in Northwest Austin, her key directive was to turn this ’70s era space into a clean and modern respite that was filled with natural colors, lots of wood with black accents and absolutely no marble. Which was perfect because it’s hard to compete with the magnificent limestone rock wall, which dominates the view right outside the kitchen. With all of nature’s glory surrounding, it was important to choose the perfect finish for the beautiful white-oak kitchen cabinets that the team settled on. “We wanted the wood to look as natural as possible. When a stain or sealer is applied to white oak, it turns it a little more yellow or orange. So we had to…
