travelguy_73 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As a former mod owner (O'Meara Dr. next door in Willow Meadows), I am so excited to see your home featured. It takes dedication and grit to restore an older home, even harder when it is a mod.Congratulations, and if this convinces just one other person to do the same, then it was worth it.

Subdude Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 And Eames lounge chair and a Womb Chair. I am jealous! Is that a Poulson PH5 lamp in the dining room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes, we went with a PH-5 over the original globe light. It was a tough decision since the original light was original to the house, but the globe light clashed with the roundness of the arco lamp and we really love the PH-5 so we went with it. I will keep the globe light and possibly find a place for it somewhere else - utility room, maybe? The PH-5 isn't too expensive. Everyone should have one. I really love the color of the one we got.The Eames 670/671 is great! It's 1978 and is a little worn down, but it has character. I was afraid that it might be too cliche, but instead I think it pulls the room together. The womb chair was reapholstered not too long ago and it is gorgeous (Thank God for Karen Stodelle). We don't know who designed the orange "Grasshopper wannabe" chair. It's a mystery, but it stands up designwise to the other chairs, you know what I mean? With its bold color it refuses to take a lesser role.I'm a SUCKER for chairs! And I still haven't gotten the Cherner chairs that I want... Or the Eames DCWs. In good time.JasonAnd Eames lounge chair and a Womb Chair. I am jealous! Is that a Poulson PH5 lamp in the dining room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub, I didn't realize you were such a BIG Scaninavian Fan. Me too. Willow, I meant to ask, about the dining table is that Herman Miller ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 The dining table is Knoll. It's called The Partner Table. It's used as a small conference table or a dining table. It has small drawers that you can put silverware or pens/pencils in. It has been refinished. The rosewood is beautiful on it. Keep a secret, the black chairs are knock offs, not Series 7. Eurway!

texasdago Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Awesome... so glad we had a chance to get this set up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I know what you're saying about the Eames 670/671 lounge cliche, but it's still a classic and will always look good. Mine is also 1970s vintage, I think, with the original rosewood. Looks good with the Noguchi table. I've wanted a Womb Chair for a long time, but you need a large space for it, since it seems to dominate a room. Another one I would love to own, Jacobsen Egg chair: Btw, where did you get the PH-5? I was thinking of one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey01 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Willowisp, I just had to give you props! Your place looks great and caught my attention while thumbing through the new 002.

Willowisp Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Wow! Thanks a lot! Yes, I think that if I recommend some more people to Carla Valencia, the editor that maybe it could become a semi-regular thing. She was extremely receptive and excited about featuring Mid-Century Modern in her magazine, and our house is not the "ultimate in interiors" like a few other houses I know of, so yeah, I agree - if they can find MCM houses with some period furniture to match they should definitely keep going with it. I can think of 5 houses off the top of my head I'd send them to. I guess it depends on the number of compliments the magazine gets.And thanks to everyone who came out to our party last night. It was super cool to have that many modernists in one house together!JasonWillowisp, I just had to give you props! Your place looks great and caught my attention while thumbing through the new 002.
