Vintage Gem






Beautifully remodeled vintage home. This one is particularly close to my heart. When my husband and I were 23 we purchased our first home, a perfectly preserved little rancher from the '60s. We bought it from the original owners and every detail had been left intact, from the gold starbursts on the formica countertops to the broken tile entry floor and the vintage sliding glass doors and windows. At the time, finishing school and beginning life were the priorities and so we left it as is. To this very day we regret the sale of that home. Our family grew and so it was inevitable that we would move on to a bigger home in a better school district...yada, yada, yada. But, I still miss that pristine little gem and often daydream about the renovation we might have embarked upon.

Just One More








Another interior designed by Jamie Bush and Co. This ranch remodel is a perfect example of how monochromatic can be anything but plain jane. I am definitely a color and pattern girl, but this home shows how much interest different textures can add to a space. And this home has it all, wood au naturale, painted paneling, terrazzo floors, and beautiful furnishings. Gotta say, I love this ranch remodel.
