Bahar and Mathieu have a love-hate relationship with their home. It’s a dream authentic mid-century modern<\/a> space, but they’re at a standstill as to how they’re going to get more function out of it without losing any of the original charm. Bahar and Mathieu moved into the space about a year ago with their three children. Since then, they’ve come to loathe some parts of the home, and they really hope Drew and Jonathan can help change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural light is beautiful\u2014they have a ton of windows<\/a>. But they’re single-pane, and with a rock roof and no air conditioning<\/a>, the home turns into a sauna in the summer. Then there’s the kitchen. They love cooking together as a family, but the kitchen is a disaster to navigate. Between faulty appliances, less-than-ideal storage space, and a blocked view into the dining room<\/a>, Bahar and Mathieu have become fed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I first walked in, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m in a time piece,'” Bahar says. “This feels special and unique, and there’s history here.” Bahar and Mathieu didn’t want to lose that history\u2014they wanted to celebrate it<\/a>! So when it came to renovations, they were weary about how to pull that off aesthetically and functionally. “We love the look of the house,” Mathieu says. “But there’s a lot of things that don’t work for us.” So, they’re calling on the help of Drew and Jonathan to make their space feel like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better Function, Better Flow<\/h5>

Finally, Bahar and Mathieu can wave goodbye to that bulky overhead vent! Now, natural light moves throughout the space and conversation flows better. The kitchen and breakfast bar meld seamlessly into their front room, with better functionality that provides a cozier, more intimate ambiance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Mid-Century Taste Meets Modern Needs<\/h5>

The Bros were able to infuse some much-needed functionality into their cooking space, without losing the mid-century modern look Bahar and Mathieu wanted to honor. A more streamlined layout, better cabinetry, and updated appliances<\/a> made a world of difference to turn their kitchen into a space they’ll love cooking in together.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Upgraded Storage and Organization<\/h5>

Brand-new flooring throughout the entire first floor did wonders all on its own, but crafting a more functional layout in the kitchen was the real kicker. They wanted to update the cabinetry without sacrificing that mid-century style, so they stuck with a natural wood finish\u2014but added panel-ready appliances to keep the look sleek and stylish. Since they were able to relocate the awkward washer and dryer at the back of the kitchen, they got to reclaim that space for a more savvy pantry setup. Now, the kitchen works for<\/em> them, not the other way around.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Balanced Aesthetics<\/h5>

Drew and Jonathan updated the dining room area with leather seating and a striking MCM globe chandelier to ground the space and improve the overall look.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Original Features Shine<\/h5>

The Bros let the original fireplace shine. They updated and reoriented the furniture to better focus on conversation and keep up with the mid-century style. Overall, the home now looks more cohesive, feels more functional, and makes Bahar and Mathieu much<\/em> happier.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
