Mid-Century Ranch House Renovation

May 15, 2015
  • Share

Mid century Ranch House Renovation Banquette Dining Room

In today’s post, a 1940’s mid century ranch house is updated and gets a “country-industrial” makeover. The 1400 square foot home was transformed from an outdated bungalow into a 2000 square foot quaint but fresh home with a budget of $700,000 according to the feature article in the New York Times. The color palette is white, browns and blacks with Turkish kilim rugs, chalkboard walls, industrial metals and country accents like the rustic wood beam ceiling in the dining area, the clawfoot tub and country style iron bed.

I would call it mid-century ranch house modern country!

    What a lovely house. That kitchen is literally the stuff of dreams. Hopefully we’ll be lucky enough to live somewhere like this one day right?! haha x

    My favourite room is the kitchen because I have wood love, the exterior is beautiful too.

    LOVE this home, and everything about it. From the chalkboard walls in the kitchen, to the cozy dining room, to the black claw foot bath tub. It’s perfect in every way!

    Next summer I am planning to redecorate my house. It has a lot of unnecessary furniture and I just want to get rid of them. I spend most of the time cleaning and cooking, but that house above looks so nice and easy to maintain. It reminds me to the stories I have read in my childhood. That home is made with a divine taste. If I find I will use mid century furniture to get a serene and tranquil look at my home.

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.

London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @s London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @studioashby along with French architect Antoinette Zalewski @antoinettezalewskiarchitecte transformed this St Germain residence from two separate units into a seamless, elevated whole. New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled fine craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.
