Blog-iversary and Mid Century Architecture

By Heather @home_modern

Hi everyone! I’m back from the throws of the Decor Sale and it was quite a success. Thanks especially to my friend Shelby, and to everyone who came and checked it out. We’re donating some leftovers and I held on to a few things to sell on eBay or Esty, but overall I’m happy to be rid of a lot of the stuff I’ve been packing around these past few moves.

I’m also happy to share that today is my one year blog-iversary! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for a whole year already. I started the blog as a creative outlet to inspire myself and hopefully others to try new projects, mix and match furniture, shop vintage and bring some quirk and happiness to a space. My original goal was to try out blogging for a year and now that the year has come and gone I plan on keeping it up as long as I have the passion and energy for it. I SO appreciate all of your support, questions and comments. It means more than you know to hear from friends, family and readers who are inspired by the blog. So a big, happy, inspired hug to all of you for continuing to check in–there’s lots more good stuff headed your way!

For starters, I’ve been poking around a site I recently found that highlights modern homes for sale in Tacoma and other Western Washington cities, 360 Modern.  Here are a few shots I wanted to share of some inspiring South Sound mid century architecture.

I love the “tented” paneled ceilings and globe lighting.

These wood cabinets are a nice modern update that blends seamlessly with the mid century bones of the rest of the house.

I can’t get over this roof line!

I love this grand entrance way.

Another swank entry way.

Here it is from the inside. Check out the inlay on the doors and the indoor garden area on the left. Grasscloth wallpaper on the interior maybe?

Look at this amazing wallpaper! I’m wondering how old it is…

Check out the linear, gride-like window panes.

I love the reddish-pink wall.

Here’s the house from the front.
