The narrow front entrance bed includes Senecio Skyscraper, a tall narrow succulent.We designed and installed this dramatic living wall / vertical garden to add a welcoming focal point, and a great way to add living beauty to the large front house wall. The wall includes a variety of succulents, grass-like and cascading plants some with flowers, (some with flowers, Oxalis and Lamium) designed to provide long cascading "waves" with appealing textures and colors. The dated walkway was updated with large geometric concrete pavers with polished black pebbles in between, and a new concrete driveway. Water-wise grasses flowering plants and succulents replace the lawn. This updated modern renovation for this mid-century modern home includes a new garage and front entrance door and modern garden light fixtures. Some photos taken 2 months after installation and recently as well.

This kitchen design in a whole house remodel in Palo Alto started with the sunburst kitchen clock.
The home's original pool was in great condition. The team cleaned up the overgrown brush in the back yard and installed new landscaping and a new cedar fence. The large patio provided the perfect spot for the team to incorporate a custom designed mid century wood and steel pergola.
Bookshelves divide the great room delineating spaces and storing books.

Mørkt loft, men virker højt til loftet pga bogreol - irene_lykke
The homeowners of this Mid Century Modern home in Creve Coeur are a young Architect and his wife and their two young sons. Being avid collectors of Mid Century Modern furniture and furnishings, they purchased their Atomic Ranch home, built in the 1970s, and saw in it a perfect future vessel for their lifestyle. Nothing had been done to the home in 40 years but they saw it as a fresh palette. The walls separating the kitchen from the dining, living, and entry areas were removed. Support beams and columns were created to hold the loads. The kitchen and laundry facilities were gutted and the living areas refurbished. They saw open space with great light, just waiting to be used. As they waited for the perfect time, they continued collecting. The Architect purchased their Claritone, of which less than 50 are in circulation: two are in the Playboy Mansion, and Frank Sinatra had four. They found their Bertoia wire chairs, and Eames and Baby Eames rockers. The chandelier over the dining room was found in a Los Angeles prop studio. The dining table and benches were made from the reclaimed wood of a beam that was removed, custom designed and made by Mwanzi and Co. The flooring is white oak with a white stain. Chairs are by Kartell. The lighting pendants over the island are by Tom Dixon and were found at Centro in St. Louis. Appliances were collected as they found them on sale and were stored in the garage along with the collections, until the time was right.. Even the dog was curated...from a South Central Los Angeles Animal Shelter!

ide til terresse ud mod vejen. Istedet for stof kunne det evt. være limtræ eller lign. som sættes rimelig tæt til at skabe skygge - dennis_poulsen98
The shape of the angled porch-roof, sets the tone for a truly modern entryway. This protective covering makes a dramatic statement, as it hovers over the front door. The blue-stone terrace conveys even more interest, as it gradually moves upward, morphing into steps, until it reaches the porch.
Porch Detail
The multicolored tan stone, used for the risers and retaining walls, is proportionally carried around the base of the house. Horizontal sustainable-fiber cement board replaces the original vertical wood siding, and widens the appearance of the facade. The color scheme — blue-grey siding, cherry-wood door and roof underside, and varied shades of tan and blue stone — is complimented by the crisp-contrasting black accents of the thin-round metal columns, railing, window sashes, and the roof fascia board and gutters.
This project is a stunning example of an exterior, that is both asymmetrical and symmetrical. Prior to the renovation, the house had a bland 1970s exterior. Now, it is interesting, unique, and inviting.

Hvordan indretter jeg med retro farver, uden det bliver for rodet?
Det er ikke til at komme udenom, at farverne rød, orange, gul, olivengrøn og blå er karakteriske farver for en retro stil. For at undgå at indrette en stue som for gæster virker rodet og kaotisk, skal du sørge for at vælge et antal matchende farver, du vil bruge igennem hele din indretning af rummet. Retro er lig med stærke farver; og vælger du en stærk farve, skal du sørge for at være tro mod den. Bland ikke alt for mange stærke farver sammen, da det bliver for meget. Et inspirerende eksempel kunne være at vælge en neutral sofa eller lænestol, som du spækker til med puder og tæpper i farver. Det giver balance i indretningen.
Hvad er vigtigt at have med i en retro indretning?
Udover farverne og de ældre møbler er tilbehør og detaljer yderst vigtige i en retro indretning. Nok indikerer farverne og møblerne, at du er glad for retro, men hvis du gerne vil have en gennemført indretning, skal du på loppemarkeder for at finde søde og finurlige retro ting; pladespillere, en roterende telefon, lavalamper og filmplakater. Det er de små ting som gør, at din retro indretning fremstår som gennemført. Prøv endelig også at lede efter nogle loftslamper af ældre dato i retro design. Det kunne være de helt gamle PH-lamper eller Flowerplot lamperne i pastelfarver fra Verner Panton. De er både moderne, og så passer de perfekt ind i en retro indretning.
Hvordan tilføjer jeg retro stil til mit køkken?
Vil du gerne have et gennemført retro køkken, skal du ud at besøge en masse loppemarkeder. Her skal du prøve at finde gamle kaffe- eller thebøtter, gamle kopper og glas, Coca Cola eller Carlsberg kasser og gamle, små skilte med finurlige citater. Du kan sagtens have et moderne køkken, som ikke skriger langt væk af 70'erne både hvad angår stil og funktionalitet, og samtidig køre retro stilen igennem i dit køkken. Husk lidt stærke farver, hvis du gerne vil have et ægte retro køkken – hold dig til få farver ligesom i resten af din boligindretning, og du får dit drømmekøkken i ægte retro design, som både er funktionelt og hyggeligt.
