Project Tour: Midcentury Meets Adobe

Before & After, Interiors / By Bonnie Reece

Some homes just get you at first sight, and this was one of them. Built in the 1960s on a breathtaking property, this ranch-style home had adobe walls, warm wood details, and incredible outdoor views, but the interiors weren’t quite living up to their potential. The homeowners loved the character of their home, but they needed it to feel more functional, welcoming, and refined.

Instead of a full renovation, we took a thoughtful approach, embracing the home’s midcentury roots while adding layers, softness, and a touch of ‘70s cool. One of the biggest challenges? Filling the large, open spaces with furniture that felt both useful and inviting—ensuring every piece had a purpose while maintaining the home’s flow.

Library Shelves Ikea Hack DIY

DIY, Plumb Mid Mod / By Rebecca

Back in 2020 my dad and I designed this built-in library shelving for my dining room. The budget was to tight for custom cabinetry, so we figured out a way to build the idea I had in my head using Ikea and a whole lot of trim. Over the years I’ve referenced this project a lot in my DIY consultations and have had a few people tag me in their own versions (so cool!). I always wished I had written an explanation with visuals so I’m finally doing it. Keep in mind, this was close to 4 years ago, so we’re going by memory, but hope this is helpful!
