Bringing It Back
A couple with a true passion for mid century style repaired and rebuilt a 1947 home that had seen years of neglect, creating a showcase for their awe-inspiring vintage collection.

POURED TERRAZZO WAS USED FOR AN ERA-APPROPRIATE FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE MAIN AREAS OF THE HOME. A TWO-TONE CUSTOM SECTIONAL FROM WEST COAST MODERN IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ORIGINAL 1950s RYA RUG AND A VINTAGE COFFEE TABLE. BEHIND THE COUCH IS A COZY READING AREA WITH A VINTAGE CHAIR AND A MID CENTURY LAMP WITH A CONNECTED TABLE, PLUS ANOTHER ORIGINAL RYA RUG.

THIS THREE-BEDROOM, TWO-BATH HOME WAS BUILT IN 1947. THE POLES WERE ADDED AS AN
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE, AS WAS THE STACKED STONE WALL. THE HOMEOWNERS CONTINUED THE STACKED STONE THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE AND OUT TO THE BACKYARD; IT WAS A FEATURE COMMON IN THE TIME ERA OF THE HOME, NOTES HOMEOWNER CINDRA STOLK.
THE HOMEOWNERS LEFT THE INTERIOR OF THE ORIGINAL FIREPLACE WHERE IT WAS BUT REMOVED THE BRICK HEARTH, REPLACING IT WITH BLACK TERRAZZO, AND HAD
A CUSTOM ALUMINUM AND GLASS FRAME CREATED. THE
FIREPLACE IS FLANKED BY A CUSTOM SECTIONAL, VINTAGE
ORANGE SWIVEL CHAIR AND SIDE TABLE. WHEN CLOSED, THE DOOR LEADING INTO THE BEDROOM INGENIOUSLY LOOKS
LIKE PART OF THE WALL.
