And so it begins...

Hi!
Welcome to my blog. My husband and I are lovers of all things Mid-Century Modern so it was only fitting that we bought a 1955 MCM Atomic Ranch home. In this life my husband and I are both Graphic Designers but in another life I am sure I was an Interior Decorator/Designer because it is my second passion so I knew I wanted a real project house when we went looking for our next home... and we got one! This puppy needs love in every inch of the place so I am going to document this journey. :)

Sure, I wish I lived on the set of Mad Men from time-to-time and not a day goes by that I don't kick myself when I think of all the amazing retro treasures my grandparents owned back in the day that I had no idea I would come to love so dearly today and wish I had in my possession BUT with that said, as my husband and I remodel this house we don't want to walk into a time warp, we want a contemporary home that is infused with a lot of vintage awesomeness.

The ink is now dry on the renovation contract with a remodel company and we are about to begin our first big phase of our remodel. Currently, the only way to get into our basement is through our garage... (Yeah, we aren't too keen on it either.) So we will be adding an open concept staircase down to our lower level as well as new hardwood flooring through out the first floor and then finish off the basement ourselves to include my home office, a laundry room, a workout area, half bath and my husband's bar.

Let the games begin! I'll start posting before and afters as we go!!
