Mod Mix Monday #106

Pretty Industrial White Kitchen

via

I love all the stuff in this kitchen. 

That huge old sink and there's a vintage stove. 

The touches of silver, stainless and other gray metal finishes.

Even the concrete floor adds to the vibe.

Touches of pink don't hurt either.

Looks like you could get a lot done in this kitchen.

It's not precious...it looks hardworking but it's pretty and feminine too!

Each week there is more and more stuff in Mod Mix Monday that I love and I just

can't pick only a handful to show off.

So I don't. 

There were even more than this but I forced myself to edit.

Here are my favorites...

Tanya of Twelve O'Eight took and old changing table and spiffed it up into 

a nice beverage stand for her 

Laura of Cottage and Broome showed off her cottage garden.

Debbie of One Day at a Time found a pair of closeout lamps in a discount store for $5.99 each.

She added a little looking glass spray paint and new shades and whalla! 

Melissa of Shabby Love showed off her revamped kitchen.

I love that she kept the scallops above the sink window.

She added beadboard detail to all and wood countertops.

Cottage Chic!

Lisa of Create Inspire painted a vintage vanity and all I can say is Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!

Someone will be the lucky new owner of this.

Cindy of Cottage Instincts painted this little beauty.

Pretty is as Pretty does.

Sharon of Lilikoi Joy redid her whole master bedroom and it is amazing!

I love all the gray with pops of bright pastels. Love the white bedding too and that rug!

Oh...and the headboard and well...many things.

Scribbler Unfocused has lots of great vintage garden furniture but she recently painted this iron sofa gold and piled it with these fabulous cushions and pillows.

Laura at Whimsical Perspectives has a cute little potting bench and growing above 

an herb garden in wire planters. So cute. 

Leanne of The Burlap Cottage decorated her front porch.

It's very serene...subdued in its color scheme but fresh looking too.

Love the hydrangea pillows. And I am really loving the look of a lamp in an outdoor space.

Diane of Design til it Shines made a cute little mossy summer banner and 

added it to a collection of garden things on the mantel. 

Link up your latest Mod Mixes for this week.

Open House Sunday

Tudor in Edgmere Park

built 1928

This home is in my neighborhood. 

It was picked as yard of the month for June and I'll be back later in the week to talk about the yard but 

the night I went to take photos of the yard, I also snapped some of the inside to share.

It was getting late and I was losing light but I hope you can see how fabulous this little cottage is on the inside.

You come in the front door to stairs. Unusual for a home in my neighborhood most of our cottages 

are one story. Or at least were originally one story but not this one.

This home is full of original art as the owner is a metal sculptor and 

has bought and traded for lots of art with fellow artists.

The living room has a balcony over it.

The original iron railings are very attractive.

The fireplace is rough brick. I think the original mantel has been removed. 

This home sat empty for years and years.

The owners moved out but did not want to sell it.

It sat in disrepair inhabited by raccoons and cats!

The new owners Sharon and Randy had wanted to live in Edgemere Park for a long time.

They had kept an eye on this house for years trying to buy it from the owners.

But they did not want to sell.

Finally, they agreed and Randy and Sharon bought it without ever being inside. 

They are still contemplating what to do with the fireplace...so for now, they are ignoring it.

That coffee table was made by Randy from an old door.

I love this built in bookcase in the living room.

Sharon and Randy have great style.

The home is filled with lots of mid century pieces.

Many arched topped doorways and doors in the home.

This is very unusual. I've never seen arched doors in one of the houses in the neighborhood before.

Front doors, yes...inside doors, no.

Mid century flavor in the dining room.

The french doors are original to the home and lead to the quaint backyard.

This backyard was a huge mess when they moved in and they are still working on it.

Very Mad Men

All the curtains in the home are large expanses of linen.

Many times just attached to the wall with nails.

The kitchen is fantastic. It's small but so nice.

I missed getting a photo of the whole space unfortunately.

It is small. I love the original niche above the stove.

Carrara marble for countertops.

The far wall is a plate wall...I meant to get a photo of but I was shooting around people and forgot to go back. 

Don't you love that marble?

The ceiling is covered in old lath from a wall they repaired in the home. 

Randy decided it would be nice on the ceiling of the kitchen.

It was then white washed.

Just off the kitchen is a small room used as a breakfast bar slash pantry.

These shelves cover one wall in there.

Another cute original niche.

Here is the storage missing in the kitchen. 

But it's just around the corner from the kitchen.

This zinc sink was found in the basement. 

I'll be back later in the week to share the yard of this home.

Randy is a landscape architect and this house has a yard of native plants and grasses.

It's drought tolerant and easy maintenance.

Have a Happy Father's Day!

I wish I still had my Dad but today I'm just grateful for what a wonderful one I had.

I wish he'd lived the long life he should have lived.

But...he lived a great life...a good life and is remembered as being the best Dad...

the best husband, best son and friend anyone could want.

I try to remember that this day and not dwell on the fact that he is gone.

Hug your Daddies for me!
