Mid-Century Time Capsule!

Hi Everyone! I'm here with my first post featuring a house that isn't mine! :-) These pictures are of a mid-century gem that was custom built in my neighborhood back in the late 50s (totally forgot to get the actual date, I was so excited to come into the house!)The original owner still lives there and he was very nice and let me in to snap some pictures. I was so ga-ga about it all..I love his original light fixtures and make sure you check out that SWEET door handle! 


Exterior caught my eye RIGHT away.
When I saw the door handle, I knew I had to try to see the inside!



Original Grasscloth!

Sweet fireplace wall!

Built in book case...extended over the doorway!

Cohen was impressed.


Original Stove!!!

Checking out the original cabinets...I want that hardware!



Grey tile pattern in bathroom

Really cool dresser set!

My Mudless Mudroom

Oddly, this is one of my favorite rooms in the house...maybe because I feel it typically is one of the cleanest and best organized (ha!) The seating I scored about 6-8 years ago at a Goodwill. They only wanted $20.00 dollars for it! At the time I didn't have a place for it so it sat in my basement until last fall when we moved into our new house. I was so nervous it wasn't going to fit on this wall but oh lucky me---it did! :-) The vintage suitcases underneath the seating didn't really work so I took them out from under there. Also, I wish the door was closed so you could see my cool MCM cats on the wall! Do you guys have mudrooms?? I lived without one for years and I'm so happy to have one now!!
