Mid-Century Modern Townhouse

Project Year: 2012
Project Cost: $7,501 - $10,000
Country: United States
Zip Code: 19380
The newly built townhouse in the colonial style had little character. We imagined a younger, urban family moving in and gave it a comfortable but edgy feel. The custom kilim rug in 100% wool is water washable, and we added leather covered chairs for practicality. The large sofa facing the fireplace...

The large abstract oil painting of a bicycle by Edwinna Brennan brings in energy and the freshness of yellow, repeated in the yellow leather mid century modern chairs on the left, as well as the Ed Grisom silkscreen on the fireplace mantle. The small urn gives a classical nuance to the antique...

The antique iron urn was filled with floral foam and curly bamboo for the fall season. The distressed patina on the urn was interesting by itself so that it didn't need any additional painting or treatment; since the house was a newly built house, with little character in itself, character had to...
