I follow several amazing mid century home blogs. My favorite, which I know I have mentioned before, Retro Renovation, is filled with amazing photos, illustrations, and ideas that make me anxious to own my own home, so I can start on my own retro renovations.
Until then though I will get my kicks admiring other people’s vintage homes. Yes, I must admit, I don’t only go to estate sales for great bargains on neat things, but also to see inside other people’s homes–and lives!
Luckily for me my grandmother has one of the most incredible mid century homes I have ever been in. Her and my grandfather built this house in the mid 1950’s and not a lot has changed. It is overlooking Sunset Cliffs, one of the nicest and most expensive areas in town.
I snapped these photos a few weeks ago when I was over there. I took more photos but the lighting was bad in most of the other rooms. Next time I go to visit I will be sure to get some more pictures.
Wow, that’s an amazing house.
I love those chairs and that big round coffee table. I want to sit and havew afternoon tea there.
yowza! i want more more more! love love love! let’s feature them on my blog too! thanks vintage wife!
I love the simplicity and elegance of these rooms. They seem so calm and clean. Perfect for reading in.
Love the painting in the dining room- would love a copy for my girls room.
