Your Home
Excitement. Relief. Disbelief. There are a lot of feelings that collide when you finally own a mid century home. You’re grateful for the opportunity to be the steward for it. You’re eager to dig your fingers into the nooks and crannies, and get started on all the ways you know you can make the home sing. Or you might find yourself intimidated. Where to begin? Where to start on that long laundry list of awesome features and elements you’ve always envisioned for your mid century dream. Or perhaps it’s more impatience. There are original cabinets to refurbish, awful Tuscan pendant lights that need to be torn out and replaced with something appropriate so the house can breathe. This poor house, oppressed by the weight of 1990s remuddles or unfortunate flips, is dying to be cool again. And it’s your honor to make that so.
OPPOSITE Over the course of three years, Scott and Summer Gieser scouted for the perfect furnishings and tackled projects both big and small so as to preserve and personalize their 1959 Al O’Rourke-built home in Riverside, California.

Enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover. I love design and although I do not have a MCM home, I have incorporated MCM elements in our house and when we finished off our bonus room in our garage. All based on the styles I picked up from reading Atomic Ranch magazines. I love having it all in one package now.. it will be a great coffee table book for our bonus room studio.
