I love mid century modern homes! The architecture is just fabulous
I'm 70. Been there, done that! Thanks for the memories.
Yes & then your generation ruined this country. SHAME ON YOU!
This is an amazing presentation! You have absolutely nailed the critical elements of the 50s design style and really brought out some design features that even though I grew up in that era, never did even notice. This could easily be shown in a graduate college architectural design course. It certainly does reflect a LOT of research and expertise to bring in examples illustrating the design elements that you are emphasizing. Thank you for this very interesting and educational video.
You know what draws me to mcm? I am 56. I have had homes my whole adult life that were so full of STUFF! So cluttered. Victorian is what I loved. Now I want a peaceful home-serene, tidy, purposeful- NO clutter!! Great example-I just got an mcm coffee table-you know, the kind with the sliding doors-low to the ground, clean lines! It replaced an ottoman with a tray with a bunch of STUFF on it! Now all my magazines and kids books are still within easy reach but you can’t see them! All you see is ONE lovely thing-the plant I placed on top! It is so lovely and peaceful to me! And it reminds me of my sweet Grampa and Grama! Their house was totally mcm!!
Yes, MCM looks so streamlined and clean without looking empty and boring.
I LOVE this and the other styles. It’s impossible to not love.
Such a classic design. I loved it back in the 50s and 60s and I love it now
My favourite all time style.❤
I love the 25ft wall of windows in my 1963 MCM.
Rebecca , I have to Thankyou 🙏 since watching your videos for many years now, I have learnt so much. TRULY … when I decorate now , it’s easier to see what works and what doesn’t , I think the best thing I have learned from you , is how SYMMETRY is so important. It really does make rooms look better planned out . I must say great respect for your job , omg 😳 it’s bad enough trying to buy what I wanted to look good and connected for my lounge and dining room. HOW YOU DO IT FOR A WHOLE HOUSE FOR SOMEONE ELSE I DONT KNOW . Xx thank you xx
I just love the mid century modern style!
This is so my Aunt! She designed several of the homes her family lived in. And she still has many of the furniture pieces they have always had. Someday I will be willed her coffee table. I have my grandmother's mid century game table that folds up to half size. She and friends used it for bridge club in her home. Grandma G loved modern style furniture.
Loved the chairs in the bedroom!
I love how you added history to this one! It’s so interesting to know where it came from and how it morphed.
We had turquoise appliances in my parents 60 ‘s house. I always loved that color !
I just paused for a minute Rebecca Lol 😂, I can remember when I had my first baby in 1979 in hospital and they actually had a place outside near the ward where we had our babies for those that smoked and that was in a hospital 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️, Thank goodness times have changed…now back to your video, I find this era very interesting…♥️♥️🇦🇺
I didn't know the acrylic furniture was an older style . I've learned so much from the series point . You never disappoint !
I love mid century modern. The openness of the homes it’s no walls always an open concept. Round fireplaces, stone work, large glass windows everywhere, it’s just gorgeous!
This is a great explanation of how the fifties style came about and how it evolved into the style of the sixties. I really enjoyed it and felt that I learned a lot.
Thanks for the guided tour Rebecca! Such bold colors.
I lived in an Eichler designed home in California. I loved the atrium in the center of the home. You didn’t see the street from inside the home, just the atrium. While I don’t enjoy the furniture from the period I loved the connection to nature in the architecture.
Wow that is so special! I would feel so honored to live in a historical home like that!
In Orange? I was the weirdo driving slowly down your street and wishing I lived there too. 😂
MCM is my favorite! I love going to Palm Springs! Reminds me of my childhood in a way.
Amazong work, Rebecca ! I am not a fan of this style, but what a nice history lesson! Very knowledgeable!
Always loved mid century ❤
I love mid-century modern! ❤
I love all of the Mid-Century inspiration pictures you provided. There is just something about it that is so great. Love your videos on all of these styles for sure!
Thanks for sharing this. It’s nice to know the history behind the design.
I’m so here for the MCM. I think that’s a big part of the reason I love old movies. Lana Turner’s home in Bachelor in Paradise… Fabulous!
Best video I've ever seen on this style
Thanks Rebecca for the historical review.
What a great video; such a professional production and so informative. Thank you! 🙏❤
Please consider doing a video on Feng Shui design ❤
I grew up in a mid century home, it was beautiful .. thank you for this informative video.
I absolutely LOVE mcm. I have a lot of pieces of mcm furniture. My design quiz came up with contemporary and modern. I live in a contemporary style “ski chalet “ in Colorado, and I have furniture and decor from all eras.
I really enjoyed this video on MCM!!! Mark and I live in a MCM ranch and you nailed it!
I Love love this design !! Its simple, calming, yet artistic and colorful ...
I really enjoyed this episode. I recognize many of those pieces and enjoyed revisiting this design era. Great job.
Loved the history lesson with the design! Great series Rebecca
Thank you Nichole. When I decided to do this series of videos on Design Styles, I had no idea how much fun it would be to look deeper into each style. I too have enjoyed the journey and I’m so glad you are enjoying it too. 🤗 RR
I love the high end mid-century look. The Frank Lloyd Wright homes are that. Hitchcock was inspired by FLW to have a house designed in that style for the movie North by Northwest. I love that house. Exactly how you were describing with earth elements: wood, stone and lots of windows to bring the indoors in. Thanks again Rebecca for this series! So informative.
I adore the FLW designs! The natural material incorporated is divine
Very interesting! 🤔 I am having trouble finding my style. I love decor! 😊
Thank you Rebecca ❤
This is my favorite episode so far. I love that you explained the historical aspects of the style ❤
Thanks for investigating and bringing this to us Rebecca, Goes to show how each generation has changed over the years! God Bless
I'm not a big fan of the MC color palette, but I love the wood furniture. I especially love the ones that are perfectly square in the corners.
I grew up in a mid century modern home. Now I lean modern/contemporary with eclectic touches. 😮
I was born in the 80s but I just love this era. I long to design and build a mcm home. Loved this episode. Thanks Rebecca xx
“Made of “Some sort of something” - you crack me up!😂
Rebi, this show episode was just too perfect‼️
Your blouse is stunning! Can’t stop staring. ❤️😍
Thank you for a wonderful tour. I came to America 32 years ago. It was very educational for me to get a glimpse into a style of a past. However, United States were never in space competition with Russia, it was Soviet Union. The evil empire that does not exist anymore. I think you’re doing fabulous job highlighting different styles. You have a beautiful gift connecting to your viewers. Always interesting. Always educational. Always relative. Can’t wait for your next segment.❤️💛💙 Valerie G.
Love the mid-century modern look! However, in my home, I am inspired by the look...
The only thing I like about mid-century is the windows - how expansive they were, especially if you have a pretty view! Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
Oh, I would love to have the Eero Aarnio 'Bubble' chair!
I did watch madmen in 2016. I dressed in that 60’s style with the flip up hair. Was fun. I grew up with mid century…. I could never incorporate it in my home. I can however appreciate it. I did buy a barrel chair but not happy with it fitting in with my traditional vibe.
I love the artistic interpretation of this style home! I could see myself living in one.
Fun reminiscing through this mid century modern home style tour. Total Brady Bunch vibe. Thanks for this series Rebecca!
Thank you Rebecca I love this deep dive you’re doing on all the different interior and architectural styles and furniture . This is one of my faves , because it actually started much earlier then ppl think .some ppl think it started in the 60’s because of all the advocado green , brown , and rusty orange and all the funky looking space ship
Style furniture and accessories . But it stated much much earlier with decorators and architects that weee very famous and also the bauhaus style .
Loving these videos!!! Love how you teach about the history and evolution in Interior design! Please do more!!!
Love this style!😍
Grew up with it and I definitely don’t want to go back to it.
I have watched all these design style video's and have to say this one is the best IMO even though this is not my style you have done a great job.
Flashback to my childhood right down to the spokey wall clock and the paneling. Where’s the black ceramic panther that all my friends moms had? lol. It was a clean uncluttered look. And yes, the tv was the showpiece. You showed two very nice homes. I like seeing all the different styles. Nice.👍
Thank you Rebecca. I really enjoyed this video. This period in design history was amazing and influenced the future of design. I’m a “boomer” and this video brought back so many lovely memories. I to grew up in a mid century ranch home and loved everything. Although the dark paneling everywhere was a bet much😘.
I really love it!!
Another great video by Ms. Rebecca. My mother had a white laquered hi-fi. She displayed her chinoiserie chargers resting on plate stands on top of the hi-fi.
I love the home
I would like a few pieces to mix in my home.I couldn't do the whole house that style. Brings back some memories though.
I would love to see how you would decorate midcentury!! I would die to live in a midcentury modern home! With all those windows!!!! But I am making it work with my own spin in my house built in 1978.
A great video Rebecca; you are so knowledgeable; you explain things so well. Not my style but love some of the pieces. ❤
The library kickstool in the background! Had 6 of those in my library. Kids are short and can’t reach the shelves😊
Oh wow! Thanks for commenting on that, I noticed it but didn't remember where I'd seen one and that it even had a name!
This video is well narrated and made, this could be used for history purposes. The MCM is nice to admire from the outside, I grew up with a version of it, however I would not choose it to live in it, I prefer a warm style, somehow I think MCM is too cold despite the expensive pieces of art and earth colors. Thank you!
OMGOSH, this so much reminds me of my parents home, it was built in the 50’s and stayed basically the same till the day I had to sell my family home as my Mum went into a nursing home, but the couple who purchased the home are leaving so much of it’s ordinality to it, all the different colours that don’t even match Lol 😂, the wood grain walls, the coloured couch they had which is all in my wedding photos Lol 😂, personally I don’t like any of it and glad to see the end of this era of home design, those pieces of furniture in that person’s home has withstood the hands of time and are in perfect condition, it’s a credit to the owner of this home, not that it’s my kind of home but it’s well preserved. Great video Rebecca, which design is coming next. Cheers from Queensland Australia ♥️♥️🥰🥰
Ok, glad the style is still alive.
Thanks for the tour and trip down memory lane. The rooms were so small back then 😅
Great reminder of the past
Love their choice of colors
Thank you
I love some of the furniture of MCM. The pieces were so unique and different from any other furniture style. I remember my parents having the hanging swag lamps. They also had the console stereo cabinet complete with the record player. I loved that. I like this style but would not go total MCM.
Very educational regarding the fact about the materials being available for the first time. Living in an original would be tough due to the eight-foot ceilings and lack of lighting.
I would love……. To live in a midcentury house!
Would have liked to also see a few typical Mid-Century bathrooms.
Can still recall " updating"
one of my first homes from it's Torquoise & Pink
Kitchen appliances/ formica to more "Modern"
(1970s) palette of Harvest Gold/Avocado Green/Rust...& installing one of the first-on-our street Over-the- Range Microwaves ( a GE)...a very proud accomplishment at the time!!!
I love a touch of MCM. Glad you got to go to Lortadale area in Tulsa.. Great video!
Love that house!
There are some Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the Laurel Highlands area of Pennsylvania- Fallingwater, Polymath Park & Kentuck Knob. They’re gorgeous, but there are only bits and pieces that I would want in my own home. Nice to tour, but makes me think of the Brady Bunch! 😂
It would be fabulous to stay at the air b&b and watch Mad man, whilst you're staying there.
Loved this video, also looove your blouse. Can you post where you got it?
I would love to live in a mid-century home. Love the angled roof line. At the same time I love comfortable contemporary furniture. Would love to mix the 2. Thanks for a great video!
I'm guessing that the widespread use of bolder colors in the '60s was brought on by the advent of color television. TV manufacturers wanted to show off the capabilities of their new products and the more neutral tones of the '50s didn't pop off the screen. So set designers used bold color.
We attempt to create a midcentury ranch lodge. I like it.
I started following you years ago and told myself I'd circle back once I own a home and I'm BACK❤
Wow… so much of that takes me back to my childhood. 🤍
This is the one style I don't like. I was young when this was fashionable, now for me it feels outdated.
When people incorporate that style now, they use it as a reference and mix it with other styles. What's outdated about glass walls and simple layouts? I love the californian case study houses or the Palm Spring's butterfly roof houses
Love this style! I am incorporating MCM in my home now. Have you thought of doing a video for a Feng Shui home?
Agree…my son is into this-everyone likes differences
I don't care for it either. I don't like contemporary either.
I can remember having all,of this! Been there done that, still have my cedar chest!
Its my favorite stile 🤩
In 🇬🇧 uk our parents had been through a war..many homes lost to bombing..so new houses started to be built in large numbers by the 60s..it was the era of the “baby boomers” …the Festival of Britain 1951 had showcased the future and young couples wanted it for their homes..after years of austerity….and rationing left people eager for change…..lots of ideas came from Scandinavia….not just furniture…but lifestyle too.
This one was hard to watch. I have never been a fan of mid century modern. I remember these styles as a young girl. I love your styles. You’re the best!
I think everyone on my street had a TV. Grew up in the 50s and 60s. Don’t really want to repeat those styles.
excellent!!
I like certain aspects of MCM. The tulip tables, the leggy furniture, a lot of the art. I couldn’t live in a 100% mcm home though. I like painted walls too much. I can see incorporating elements.
There are versions of Mid-Century Modern that I like... but not this one. You showed a pic of one with a white couch and two tan leather chairs, and that I like. I love the first one that is for sale, with the high ceilings, stone and wood. It's beautiful. I always love the exterior and low expansive profile of these homes.
Hi Rebecca, 6:25 on the clock may not be accurate, as you mentioned, however, 6:25 is correct twice each day.
❤❤❤❤❤
eccomiiii ❤
I’m trying to convince my hubby to get a real Eames lounge chair and ottoman instead of a cheap knock off. We will see if I succeed!!
Was the Brady Bunch mid century modern?
Rebecca, where in Oregon did you move from?
Ciao, i grew up in mid century style home, parents loved it but for some reason don't like them so much. Reminds me Soviet era, mostly had this style, must say furniture was really good quality. Only that chairs i still like them of course real thing& were really heavy.
Soviet era was smack dab in the middle of the MCM period, so many furniture will be MCM inspired.
