Home improvement and remodeling for midcentury homes
Take care of your pink bathrooms – or else. Thanks to Evaxebra for the photos, her flickr photostream is the best. Click either photo to transfer straight to spookyland. Oh, and notice the course of white field tiles right above the tub before the tiles launch into pink – nice touch, I like it!
This past weekend I made my long-awaited pilgrimage to S.J. Masters Tile in Canaan, New York. Salesperson Debbie was as wonderful and helpful as can be. She tells me they do A LOT of business with New Yorkers who own 2nd homes in the area and are updating them in retro style consistent with their original design. Hurray! Heck yeah there is more →

Our good friend Sue recently surprised her husband Pete with a weekend at Field Farm, a mid century home turned boutique B&B in nearby Williamstown, Mass. Pete was turning 50 – so I guess “mid century” was the theme! David and I went up to visit and of course, went gaga over the place, a 1948 Bauhaus-inspired masterpiece with a separate guest house, Folly Farm, which is its own amazing story.
