8 tricks to bring back retro details in recently-remodeled homes

The 1950s kitchen of your titty pink and turquoise dreams!

I found another perfect Mid-Century time capsule home! And the kitchen is to die for. It’s the cat’s pyjamas. It’s the bee’s knees. It’s… well, it’s fucking pink and turquoise and awesome! Let’s tour it shall we…

You should absolutely check out this Australian home decor (particularly if you like cats!)

This LA home can give us all a lesson in organic modern style

I’m obsessed with the organic modern decorating trend. You’ve more than likely noticed it popping up everywhere… Layers of white and neutral tones, natural textures like wood, fur, and woven jute, and organic accents of antlers, succulents, pottery, all blending together to create a super gorgeous and calming space. This home just took us all to Organic Modernism School…

I’m plotzing over the untouched 1955 period details in this house

Do you know what my three favorite words are when it comes to real estate? “Untouched period details.” Ungggggggg. Fellow lovers of the mid-century modern aesthetic are going to absolutely plotz when they see this 1955 time capsule home that I found in Glendale, California…
