Great advice! Thank you.

If you could change the windows to casements that would help.

You should contact Bercy Chen in Austin and see if they would give you a consultation. They're one of the best design studios in Texas!

Not sure of the scope of work you want to do, but I think a simple change would be to change trim colour to a greige, to stay away from the pink undertones the current beige looks to have, except painting all trim around the large window dark, black or dk brown depending on what colour other windows are, to make it look like it's one unit. Then add a pop of colour to front door and ditto on the hedges, use more ornamental plants, grasses etc. Here Is an inspiration pic that remind me of your house.

Get rid of the pink toned paint! I'm thinking a dark gray might work with all that Hill Country limestone. I've been making my smallish 80s, Austin home "look" more MCM. I have some limestone, so I went with a medium gray with lime green accents and white roof/eave trim. My front door is a red orange with the green. But you have a lot more limestone. Have you tried playing around with photoshop? As for your landscape...it definitely is not MCM. Removing the hedges would be a good place to start. Next step would be to go with the trees and convert a chunk i to a woodland. The best MCM homes always embraced natural settings (not lawns and hedges).

Any need for windows from an old MCM? Glenn in Austin 817-545-1144

would love to see an update on this... I'm starting on a similar home.

Gosh, that's a pretty house. A change of paint color might be good, but, JMHO, I wouldn't paint the brick. It's a nice look on a beautiful lot , just as it is.

What a beautiful home! I would use the mortar color of the stonework as the trim color....it will both blend and accent and look natural....just like your mcm home!

how did everything turn out?

I could never paint that stone. It’s beautiful.

I didn't end up painting it. I did however paint the stone fireplace on the inside of the home.

I like what you did to the interior, not painting the exterior was a good choice

People are certainly free to do whatever they want to their own home, but I would not paint over stone.

I can't decide whether to renovate ( to original ) or remodel ( to Modern Farmhouse ) this 1950 mid century home.

With all respect to the homeowner, I think what you did with the inside is not at all mid-century looking. It looks to me like you went toward a JoAnna Gaines 2010s farmhouse look with the white everything on the walls and the bleached look wide plank floors - not at all in keeping with the very "natural" focus of the mid century period. Your choice, of course, and I think it looks nice, but doesn't seem in keeping with your original post where you said you wanted a "real" MCM look.

What did you do with the outside? I’m glad you didn’t paint the stone but did you change all the painted areas? I like your new interior.

For me, the way to modernize any home is through color! Aligning your mid century home with colors that match the tradition and origin of the home is just as important as choosing updated and modern options.

I'd suggest going for some earthy greens, oranges, and browns to match with the woodsy vibe of the home pictured. Check out some other modern mid century home color ideas here.
