Mid-Century Madness

Being an avid (ahem…addicted) blog reader, I have 1,000s of images filed in folders of beautiful homes featured all over the web. I have images of bedrooms, bathrooms and home offices from Victorian, contemporary or rustic houses, apartments and condos. You name it, I’ve got it.

And as much as I like to drool over the interiors of beautiful homes, most of my favorite images aren’t from new construction McMansions. They are homes with architectural details, character, charm, huge windows, beautiful views, things that make great interior design that much better. And while you can apply great interior design to any home, it’s these types of homes that I know are especially hard to come by.

Last night, as I was randomly flipping through Little Rock home listings, I found that house. The one. The only. Ok, maybe not the only, but I honestly don’t believe that Little Rock is overflowing with mid-century modern architectural gems. That’s why I’m so in love with this one. Even though it’s empty, I can already see the potential it has to be my dream house.

And it can be mine for the low low price of half a million dollars. Le sigh….

Excuse me while I keep dreaming. In the meantime, enjoy:

I love how lush the outdoors feel!

And how open the indoors feel! This house is the perfect blend of open airiness, yet still private.

Oh, hi dream kitchen. I love your openness and lightness and your rafters. Whoever made you appreciates a granite countertop but knows that nothing darkens a kitchen quicker than black countertops. I love you.
