Some people are born with the renovation bug and can’t resist a project when it comes their way. When homeowners Phil Neely and his partner, Richard Babb, had a chance to snag a home near Santa Fe, New Mexico, they took it as a sign that their next endeavor had begun. Built in 1958, this 2,300-square-foot home has a sleek Mid Century Modern structure but has undergone its fair share of renovations since its inception to bring it to its current state. The couple worked to acknowledge the home’s roots while bringing their own personalities into the mix, and the result is a mid century home fit for modern living. VACATION-WORTHY Though it took some work to get the home in the condition they wanted, Phil and Richard were no…

“I believe strongly in the law of attraction. Whatever I’m looking for is looking for me,” says Max Tucci. In 2013, he and his partner, Keith Backer, were in the market to buy a home in Boulder, Colorado. Keith’s daughter was living there and found an odd listing for them to consider—a modernist home nestled at 7,000 feet elevation. There were few details available, but it was clearly an incredible design. The home was in foreclosure; the couple made a winning bid with the bank, and that’s when the adventure really began. “We arrived on the mountain at 1 a.m. to see the house, and it looked like Noah’s Ark had just landed on the mountain,” Max recalls. “It’s a massive wood structure. We thought, ‘What did we do?!’ We…

In 1959, songwriter Berry Gordy Jr. purchased a two-family house on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan. Gordy lived in the upper portion with his wife and son, while the lower section was used to start his record label, Motown Record Corporation, originally called Tamla Records. Gordy converted the garage into a recording studio, soon to be known as Hitsville U.S.A.’s Studio A. His knack as a producer and pioneering entrepreneur paved the way for a new wave of music that would soon sweep the nation. The Miracles were the first artists to sign, and their lead singer, Smokey Robinson (seen here), went on to write and produce numerous hits for other Motown groups. Robinson eventually became the Vice President of Motown Records and is even credited with urging Gordy…

Mid Century Modern kitchens offer so many of the amenities 21st-century homeowners crave, including open floor plans and stylish storage solutions. But even for homeowners who adore their vintage homes, their kitchens may still be lacking some much-needed features, like abundant counterspace and upgraded appliances, and a thoughtful remodel becomes a must-do. That was the case for the kitchen in this 1965 St. Petersburg, Florida, ranch. Marked by a few upgrades in its 50-plus-year history, the kitchen wasn’t fully meeting the needs of its current homeowners. Brooke Eversoll of Bee Studios was brought in to lead the update for clients with a specific wish list. EXPANSIVE LAYOUT “The clients’ main desires were a more functional kitchen overall, which included a dishwasher (the current kitchen didn’t have one), a more expansive…

Nearly 60 years ago, Donald H. Holden, a doctor, and his wife, Vivian, a swim cap designer for Jantzen, commissioned John Storrs to design a home for their family just outside of Portland. The Holdens lived in the home for 40 years before selling to a developer who originally intended to raze the home but instead decided to upgrade it to meet the tastes of early 2000s homebuyers. The improvements included tearing out the original custom cabinetry in the kitchen and replacing it with Craftsman-style cherry wood cabinetry. Current owners Abby Landon and Rick Stark purchased the 1962 home from the developers in 2003. “The state of the home when we took possession was freshly updated in the kitchen, new paint inside and out, and beautiful floors and surfaces,” the…

It’s never too late to chase your mid century vision. With their two boys grown up, Matt and Susie Bailey felt it was time to make their dream of owning a mid century house a reality. Susie, a retired aesthetician, and Matt, an investor and Adjunct Professor of Business at the University of California, Irvine, had long admired mid century homes, especially a friend’s Eichler abode. Matt and Susie explored Santa Ana’s Floral Park, one of Orange County’s oldest neighborhoods. After sifting through century-old homes, they spotted it—a 2,100-square-foot stunner built in 1950 and brimming with possibilities. The couple says, “It had great curb appeal, charming details and a lot of potential.” Although the original architect couldn’t be identified, Matt and Susie appreciated the home for its “unique character.” To…
