Architect Don Davies designed the 1950s residence for his family after building a similar house next door. Abstract paintings by homeowner Kari Brandt hang throughout the house and play off the VINTAGE color palette. Architect Don Davies was a commercial artist by trade, but when it came time to build a home for his family, he was just the man for the job. His walkout rambler, nestled behind a cluster of trees in a quiet neighborhood outside Minneapolis, provided an idyllic home for his wife and three girls in the mid-1950s. It was the vision of postwar suburban bliss—so much so that Better Homes & Gardens even sent a photographer to document the family’s stylish abode, capturing a moment in time that endured for more than five decades. “When…

“I’m a believer in using similar materials throughout the home, creating continuity.” When interior designer Elin Walters and her realtor husband Christian Ward first saw the green and maroon tri-level 1958 home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they’d been touring properties in the area for a couple of months, seeking, as Elin puts it, “an affordable, manageable home with an open floor plan and good bones.” For Elin and Christian, their search was particularly significant: Whatever home they found, it would be the place to bring together their blended family of seven. This one, with its unfortunate color scheme and unattractive porch might have turned away other potential buyers but Elin and Christian weren’t deterred. Instead, their years of design and realtor expertise (she is the principle designer and owner of…

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO START FROM SCRATCH. When Val Nehez of Studio IQL was brought on to this kitchen upgrade, she knew they had a lot of work ahead of them. “It had all the original everything,” she says. “But it was really broken down after 55 years of use.” Though everyone involved had respect for preserving midcentury authenticity, there was no saving what was left. “It was hard to have the confidence to take it out, because it was original,” Val says, “but the homeowners are huge gourmet cooks and the original space and appliances weren’t sufficient.” With a new vision in mind, they set to work blending the midcentury bones they were given with a more functional space. SUFFICIENT SPACE Their first priority for this Hermit Street,…

“To get to our home, we have to go up this bucolic hill or drive through a small web of winding and hilly country roads,” Claudia Andrade-Desbiens, the homeowner and designer, says. “It is a very pretty ride that helps us unwind, and a great escape from the fast-paced and high-stress urban environment of LA.” Along with her husband Michale Desbiens, whom she describes as “partner-in-crime, business partner and marketing manager,” the couple owns a stunning 1959 ranch in the Friendly Hills neighborhood of Whittier, California. DREAM HOME 101 The custom home was the work of Titan Construction Co., a local builder that was responsible several of the homes in the neighborhood, while the architect and engineer were from Durand Designs. Set on a half acre of land, the sprawling…
