Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Douglas Camin @ House on Rynkus Hill. October 25, 2013 at 1:28 AM. Liking that house number! October 29, 2013 at 4:41 PM. I got them on the Internet. ModernHouseNumbers.com, I think. The Queen of Fifty Cents. October 29, 2013 at 3:13 PM. Our 1957 MCM house has a metal roof. Youre going to love the sound when it rains! October 29, 2013 at 4:43 PM. Its very soothing, Not at all loud. November 11, 2013 at 8:20 AM. I agree with Toby. A...

modchester: September 2013

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Saturday, September 14, 2013. This post has been a long time in coming.nearly 3 years, actually. As I mentioned in my last two posts here. The next set of options- the "membrane group" didn't seem aesthetically appropriate for this house. Our roof is low-slope but visible, and I thought a membrane would detract from our house (and our neighbors too). The next option was rolled asphalt roofing- I basically felt the same way about this as I felt about the membrane.

modchester: Kitchen Updates--Part 2
http://modchester.blogspot.com/2013/01/kitchen-updates-part-2.html
Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Monday, January 28, 2013. Kitchen Updates- Part 2. Our drapes when they were open. We had walls of drapery when they were closed. These drapes were pinch pleated (triple pleats) and I cannot imagine how much fabric it must have taken to make these. The fabric was a nice imported linen- very high quality- although they were faded a bit at the edges on the east-facing windows. We started stripping the wallpaper- subject of another post. Kitchen Updates- Part 2.

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Monday, June 2, 2014. Oh yes we did. We painted the paneling. Things have gotten pretty much back to normal for me which means I've been busy, busy, busy. If you haven't been following along, I had my hip replaced on 10/23/13 (because of hip dysplasia. As the title of this post says, we painted the paneling. And before any paneling purists out there say "why did you paint the WOOD? The paneling was not solid wood like the teak or mahogany walls you see in some ...

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Friday, June 28, 2013. Beautiful Mid-Century Beach House. I have a love affair with the beach. It might sound odd considering I live in Rochester, NY and we're nowhere near the ocean. Around here, people think the beaches around the great lakes count as going to the beach. This includes my Buffalo born and bred husband. While I'm sure there are nice places around the great lakes, they pale in comparison to going to the ocean to me. Friday, June 21, 2013. I thin...

modchester: December 2013

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Monday, December 16, 2013. Finished Metal Roof Pictures (and more metal in my life). So onto the other metal in my life- the roof. Our roof took a while to finish because the company was working on a local green addition to a school simultaneously, but it's done and it's gorgeous. Here are some pictures from different angles. (And no, I wasn't on the roof! That was hubby's job.). BEFORE PICTURE: Can you believe this? To quote Holmes on Homes. My husband got up ...

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. And so it begins. Tear-off began last Thursday. I was actually in Ireland on business, so I didn't witness it, but my husband said that they found full ice and water shield under the shingles. If that is true for the entire roof, then it further confirms my feelings that you shouldn't put shingles, even with full ice and water shield, on a roof pitch this low. New ice and water shield. Yay for more insulation!

Falling in love with our mid-century ranch. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Master Bedroom Redo (again). I cannot believe it's been so long since I've posted. I had to take a bit of a break last year but I'm back and I hope to post a bit more often again. Master Bedroom (BEFORE). Awesome retro bedroom. Love the twin beds and tailored bedspreads! This is actually the third time we've repainted this room in 4 1/2 years. I know. Good thing we do our own painting. The first time it was a mint green co...The only ...
