We are restoring our home in Crescent City, CA. Built in 1946, so very good bones. We put in a laundry chute. It has a ship porthole as the door to the chute on the 2nd floor and leads directly to the laundry room below. I am so glad that you have an original. I also LOVE toilets behind doors. No pocket door for us. When you open the vintage door with vintage glass doorknob to the 'water closet', you see the corner vintage sink, the bidet directly across and the toilet next to the bidet behind the door. LOve IT!

Our laundry chute is mounted on the wall next to our claw footed cast iron bathtub, which is free standing outside of the water closet next to the master bedroom.

Before replacing the couch, try pulling the pair of chairs up onto the rug away from the wall to create a cozier conversation area. By doing so, the couch may not seem so small.

I love your mid-century eye and style! I will guess that your ficus is losing leaves because it is acclimating to a new environment after moving. The light, air, water, temperature, and humidity are all different for the plant. Also, check to see if the ficus is in a drafty part of the room. Things like high traffic areas, air vents, heat vents, doors opening and closing, fans, fireplaces, and how the air flows through the room, etc. can cause a draft. Ficus tend to lose their leaves when they are exposed to a drafty spot in the room too. I hope this helps!

You've done an absolutely beautiful job remodeling! The hickory wood cabinets are understated - so low key gorgeous- the vertical lines are stunning. It would be so cool if, where you have the shelf to the left of the stove, you had a row of pottery mugs hanging down - they'd be gorgeous against the backsplash. Your living area windows look so so nice the way they are. When your living area is viewed from your kitchen such a cool clean vibe is given off -so crisp and refreshing! What you see out all of the windows is beauty because you can't see the mess on the ground. People forget to clean up their outdoor area, that can be seen from the inside, when they have the floor to ceiling windows and it messes up the interior beauty of the living space. When windows are ground level they must constantly be cleaned on the outside because dirt, old leaves, cobwebs, and debris end up on them. If you all are looking to stay with your beautiful crisp mid century feel then don't elongate your windows.

I'm in the process of designing my FIRST kitchen after years of reading design books, blogs, video etc.I have always been a vintage lover (I bought/repaired, and chalk painted furniture as a business) but when my husband and I downsized in our 70's we bought a contemporary condo in a 1982 building ina HIGHLY DESIRABLE neighborhood overlooking a lake in a tourist town. This is an invest property for us at our age, so that when we run out of our retirement savings, we can sell our condo and live off the proceeds for the rest of our life. So as a result, I opted for a light, bright and timeless design.

Laura, think about where you want dimmers on your lighting. After a couple of builds I decided that it was nice to have dimmers in the bedroom, in the dining room, and even in a hallway where you might want lighting at night. Also if you want outlets for any holiday decor and lighting on porches, fireplaces etc.

You may tell them they have worshippers from afar. Well, Wyoming, so not too afar I think, but, anyway. Your home is absolutely lovely. I generally am not a fan of mid-century style but your mid-century style I love. One thing in particular I wanted to comment on was your end space on your island. You made the comment that you hadn't styled it, but I have to say it was so good to see something not magazine-perfect. It 100% took your kitchen from "showroom" to "home."

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the kitchen cabinets, tile, and black accents in the kitchen. When you were doing the demolition work I was wondering how your manicure held up. L.O.L. Here in N.Y. C. you have to hire a professional asbestos removal company to remove and dispose of it. When we replace our furnish we have to do that because it has sealed asbestos on it. ( it looks like a pizza oven ). It's an old furnish that works great but was installed many, many years ago. I love seeing all your treasure spread out around the house and can't wait to see everything finished. Great work guys!

I'm loving all the house pictures and news. It really is shaping up to be a showplace...yet warm and inviting. I had a ficus about that size when I lived in Portland.

Island wood, the hickory is breath taking! Kitchen is beautiful, it looks Asian-esque If you so much as look at a ficus tree the wrong way they die back, it may look ugly for a while but if you dont move it or give it drafts, it should make it. It needs same conditions and water, light and food as you did in the old place, see a greenhouse place ask them. Love the cats creeping around to explore, they gotta be happy ;)

We remodeled our kitchen and it was so fun to design and hunt for but I discovered something about myself, I hate not having floors! We gutted our kitchen which included our entryway so we had to walk on dirty plywood and it stressed me out so much but the wood flooring was worth it!

How fun! My late husband and I loved remodeling our little bungalow in Vancouver. It's said the test in a marriage is remodeling. We had fun and just could'nt understand why people just could'nt get thru it and fun too. Our house is 103yrs old, not too far from your house you had here in Vancouver. Oh what treasure we found when the old walls came down. We found two pretty medicine bottles, a newspaper from the '50's at one end of the old porch and a newspaper from the '70's, the outline of the old stove on the wall, tube insulated for cloth covered wiring, push button lighty switches, etc. We told our builder we'd go 50-50 if he found a wad of moola. Alas it was'nt to be. Oh well. I love our updated little house. Thanks for all the inspiration. Enjoy the run up to a finished kitchen. Have fun! love ya, Mary.... the Tin Man's Mom
