<p>Not much for me to say about this place &#8211; Greg&#8217;s contemporary in Granada Hills, California.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2618 aligncenter" title="greg4" src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg4.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="700" /></a></p>
<p>Beautiful! Love love love the light fixtures &#8211; are they all one &#8216;set&#8217;? Where did you find them? Ooooh, I see you even kept your cottage cheese ceiling!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2617 aligncenter" title="greg3" src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg3.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="689" /></a>I particularly like how Greg has kept his color palette simple &#8212; taupey/grey paint on the paneled walls with the same tonality reflected in the grasscloth, some olive, black, white and brown &#8212; all accented by punches of orange dancing throughout.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-61930" title="moe-honeycomb" src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/moe-honeycomb.jpg" alt="vintage moe honeycomb lights" width="250" height="177" />Greg, in a Comment &#8211; can you share your paint colors, and your grasscloth source/design?</p>
<p>Do you love those orange lights? <strong><a title="moe honeycomb lights" href="http://retrorenovation.com/2011/10/04/moe-honeycomb-lighting-the-full-line-from-a-1968-catalog-plus-4-hilariou-room-shots/">They are Moe Honeycombs &#8212; see the catalog pages that I posted here</a></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg9.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2622 aligncenter" title="greg9" src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg9.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="692" /></a></p>
<p>What TLC and tidy, too! Are those starburst door fittings on the front door?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg10.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2614 aligncenter" title="greg10" src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/greg10.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="308" /></a></p>
<p>Here is more from Greg:</p>
<blockquote><p>This place was built in 1962, adjacent to the Knollwood country club in Granada Hills, CA. I have researched every lighting fixture, cabinet knob and drawer pull. I had to because it had all been &#8220;updated&#8221; by the seller 2 years ago, and all vintage lighting and hardware was thrown out. I selected almost every light out of early 60&#8242;s Moe Lighting and Progress Lighting catalogs.</p>
<p>I still need kitchen tiles replaced and a better floor put in, but it works for now. Hope you like it!</p>
<p>Greg McKinney</p>
<p>PS: I have a selection of original-restored wall clocks and lighting for sale, should anyone be interested.</p></blockquote>
