I finally took some time to take some updated photos yesterday! We’ve been working on getting the house ready for the market. We are still finishing up some projects downstairs and I’ll share those soon, but the main level is just about set. It looks like the house will be live for sale in about three weeks, but if you know anyone looking for a house in Austin leave me a comment with your email address and I’ll send you the preview listing our realtor has posted online. I still can’t believe we are actually doing this after all the work and time we have put into the house, but it just seems like the right thing to do for us right now. We hope to downsize a bit in both size and hopefully monthly payment, be closer to Mike’s job and Zoey’s daycare, and have a place with a flatter yard where Zoey can play outside and maybe one day we can put in a pool…We’ve been looking at houses here and there, and soon I’ll post some pics of houses we are considering as well. I wish I could say we have come across something with as much character as this one, but I can’t say that we have. Which is ok, we can always add character. But, a few we are looking at definitely have some mid century flair/bones… more to come.
Love that blue color! And all that fabulous wood! Nicely done!
Your place looks amazing! I especially like the use of bold color and that gorgeous kitchen.
incredible!
Wow. Beautiful. We’re on our way to buying our first mid-century house and your blog is a huge source of inspiration for me and my husband.
I love the cabinets. Do you have any information on them you’d be willing to share?
Thanks so much! The cabinets were custom, built by my uncle. They are pretty simple in design, so you should be able to find any custom cabinet maker to do them. They definitely cost more than IKEA or a big box, but so worth it.
I really love what you’ve done with this. I especially love the bold use of wallpaper (I am so happy to see that it’s coming back a bit). Nice job! It looks like you’ve had a lot of fun with this project. Always nice to see.
I LOVE your house! I just came across your post from a few years ago on apartment therapy. Could you tell me the name of the wall paint you used in the dining/meeting area with the white tulip table? I saw that you said galapagos green and surfer but neither look like that seafoam color…. THANKS!
Hi Anita,
It was indeed Galapagos Green, from the Martha Stewart line. I am not sure if she still offers that color, but I imagine you could go into a paint store that sells the MS line and ask them for a match? Also, here is a link that may help: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/16774_Martha-Stewart-8229-Galapagos-Green
Thanks so much for the reply! I hope you are enjoying all of your efforts you put into remodeling! I know it is a lot of work!
