Midcentury Before & After

Just finished this Midcentury makeover to a traditional Spanish style home! Tried to brighten up the dark spaces and incorporate their love for all things 50s without compromising the integrity of this home that happens to be on the city's historical registry. Here's a before and after Living room snippet--to see more, please check out "Church - Spanish + Midcentury" project in my Projects section:

    Quite a change. What happened to the fireplace?

    The fireplace is still there--just didn't get into that shot. It's painted white to match the walls--to be more of an architectural backdrop. Thanks for your comment!

    very nice except the two chairs next to the arch. pretty silly placement, are they going to be talking to the back of the heads of whoever's sitting on the couch? Can people even walk by if someone is sitting in the chair? Just looks like someone put chairs there for no rhyme or reason except they wanted a "pop of color".

    No, the two chairs are in their own sitting/reading areas. You'd have to see the other photos to get a better sense of what is there and the scale/area that you don't get from this angle.
