Asymmetry, in a nutshell, is about balance...instead of matching. 

In previous eras, impressive home design showed its classiness with repeating, matching elements along a central line. These elements feel formal, weighty and grand.   
The mid-century aesthetic challenged this formality. Mid-century design is about being off-center and less structured, but still balanced. 

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

• Why asymmetry is a cornerstone of mid mod design. 
• How balance can be more inviting than uniformity. 
• Where symmetry makes sense.

Most mid-century bathrooms are pretty modest by modern standards. They tend to be small and there often are too few of them in the house. Upgrading or restoring the mid-century charm in a bathroom while making it work better is one of the most consistent requests from both design clients and Ready to Remodel students.

So, how can you give yourself a serious bathroom upgrade while remaining true to the mcm feel of you home? The right choices for you are going to depend on your family and your taste and the home you’re working with. 

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

• Why you should kick-off your mid-century bath design using the master plan framework.
• How to plan a timeless, not trendy, update that’s perfect for your mid-century bath. 
• The seven design essentials of a great mid-century bath update.

Consistency in branding colors and style is also crucial to avoid turning off potential clients.

Last week was all about starting small. This week we’re talking about how you can plan dramatic changes for your home without erasing its mid-century character. This episode is for people asking, how do I keep my BIG remodel Mid-Century while I tweak ... or transform? My friends, I've got the answer for you

Today, I'm introducing a new framework I've been working on for a while: the four cornerstones of mid-century design.  Grab the Cornerstones Workbook here! 

These are design principles that were common in the mid-century era and are found in virtually every home built in that era - even the most modest ranch.  

We’re going to talk about how to incorporate these design cornerstones throughout the remodel process to help you maintain, replace, or improve on the mid-century features of your home. 

These design principles can help guide decisions as you go through the steps of dreaming, discovering, distilling, drafting, and developing your master plan. They will help you create your very own mid-century masterpiece, that both reflects its roots and is perfectly suited to your modern life!

Plus ... you can now sign up for the August 6th Mid-Century Design Clinic!  Get your ticket right here to save your seat!

In Today’s Episode You’ll Hear:

• How to make the most of (or revive) your home’s mid-century charm, even if someone has already erased it. 
• A bit about each of the four cornerstone concepts of mid-century design.
• How to incorporate these design concepts into your remodel Master Plan.

"You can make the world beautiful just by refusing to lie about it" - Gio Ponti (1891-1979)

Welcome to Episode #54:

The last day of a travel adventure can be a quite distilling, generally it is a tricky day where the emotions run up and down, with that inner knowing that something special is about to end.  Sometimes it can be a relief, sometimes the wheels fall off the cart, and sometimes the pressure to just enjoy it all can be simply too much, yet whatever the case it is a day to enjoy and revel in no less.  

And that is why I organised a ticket to the Villa Necchi Campiglio in the heart of chic Milan.  Not far from the Corso Venezia and the Fashion District on Via Monte Napoleone, this urban and modernist villa is quite the inspiration if you are interested in Italian design and Beautiful Things….
