April 18, 2024 07:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

What is the best mid-century flooring for your house? My answer to you, to my clients, to my students and to everybody who asks me this is, it depends. Now, when I answer this way, I'm not hedging or hesitating.  I do have opinions about and experience with many types of flooring in all sorts of applications. And strong personal preferences of my own! But when people ask “What's the best mid-century flooring?”, what they actually mean to ask is, “What's the best mid-century flooring for me...

Painting it white is not the answer.

March 21, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

Today let's talk about why slapping a coat of white paint on your mid-century brick, stone or concrete block is never the right answer. Even if your house is entirely brick or entirely stone, there are still meaningful things you can do to change the feeling of your house without large quantities of white paint.

A ranch is not a cottage (and it never will be).

March 14, 2024 07:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

There are key difference between cottages and mid-century ranch homes. Your ranch is not a cottage, so steer clear of cottage style updates. In many ways American homes changed more between 1930 and 1950 than they have since.  Part of the reason I find ranches so interesting is how modern they are in their essential nature.  Dated fixtures and finishes aside, a ranch built in 1952 is essentially a modern home.  In Today's Episode You'll Hear: How ranches and cottages are related.  Where ...

Master Plan your...clutter?

February 29, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MB

Do you have objects in your life in your house that you would categorize as clutter? Probably you do. I know I do. Decluttering sometimes feels like our national pastime, or problem. And HGTV has multiple shows devoted to the topic. Or if you prefer your Marie Kondo straight from the source her show is on Netflix. I've talked in the past about how to manage clutter in your life with design. And that's all well and good. But today, I want to talk about this from another angle. First, is the ...

The modern "mid-century" dream kitchen

February 01, 2024 08:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MB

The modern mid-century dream kitchen isn’t the kitchen that Lucy Arnez or Donna Reed or Carol Brady had. It also isn’t the kitchen you might find in vintage kitchen ads. And it certainly isn’t the kitchen you’ll find in most builder grade ranches.  So what exactly is it then? In Today's Episode You'll Hear: Why you are the most important design element of your dream kitchen.  The (very few) universals of good kitchen design.  Quick kitchen fixes to try if your big remodel is still a way...

Why are mid-century kitchens?

January 25, 2024 08:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MB

Aspirational mid-century kitchens influenced the kitchens we live in and love today. The kitchens that served as backdrops for our favorite mid-century TV families often included features missing for the builder basic kitchens of the time (and still missing in many of our ranches!).  In Today's Episode You'll Hear: When the kitchen shifted from work zone to social space.  All about features of some of the OG aspirational mid-century kitchens. How aspirational kitchens of the past can inf...

Want the most reliably biased remodeling advice around? Head for HGTV. In fact, pick up or turn on any mainstream piece of home and garden media. Now, try to separate expert advice from paid content.

The (main) problem with HGTV.

January 11, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MB

This season, I'm pushing back on the default remodeling advice that we all encounter on television and in online magazines, see manifested in big box home improvement stores and hear echoed in the mouths of run-of-the-mill general contractors.  But you know I'm not about negativity!  Instead, you are going to get all the positive, encouraging, actionable advice to help you make timeless choices tailored to your home.  In short, this season's theme is "The remodel advice you will never get...

Cornerstones of Mid-Century Design: Flow Between Spaces

December 28, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MB

When we think about gorgeous mid-century homes, many of us picture a glass wall separating the living room from a patio and lush backyard. Or a sunken living room that flows from the formal entry. Glass. Open spaces with exposed structure. Screens that allow a peek through to the next space. Stone that seems to continue seamlessly from the exterior through to the central fireplace.   This amazing flow from one space to the next and out into the yard is definitely a feature of high-end mid-c...

Cornerstones of Mid-Century Design - Simple Shapes

December 14, 2023 08:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MB

You'll find simple shapes everywhere in a mid-mod design - from the basic triangle of a gable roof  to the gentle curve of a kidney shaped swimming pool.

When using shapes that date your house is a...

Cornerstones of Mid-Century Design - Asymmetry

December 07, 2023 08:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MB

Asymmetry, in a nutshell, is about balance...instead of matching.  In previous eras, impressive home design showed its classiness with repeating, matching elements along a central line. These elements feel formal, weighty and grand.    The mid-century aesthetic challenged this formality. Mid-century design is about being off-center and less structured, but still balanced.  In Today's Episode You'll Hear: Why asymmetry is a cornerstone of mid mod design.  How balance can be more inviting ...

September 14, 2023 07:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MB

How did I become so invested in empowering women to be strong leaders in their own home improvement projects?  As a young female architect, I've faced skepticism and dismissal from male colleagues and contractors throughout my career.

The Owners' Suite - A Quick History

June 15, 2023 07:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MB

Does the primary bed/bed configuration in your modest ranch leave a lot to be desired? You may just have one hall bath. Or (upgrade alert!!!) a sort-of-sad powder room off the owners’ bedroom.
