There’s something incredibly grounding about this first view. The long, curved driveway slows you down before you even reach the front door, letting the house reveal itself gently. Bathed in warm desert light, the soft exterior color wraps the home in a calm, almost nostalgic glow—quiet, confident, and unmistakably mid-century. And then you see it: the red and white VW bus parked just off to the side. In that instant, you know this isn’t just a renovation. This is a story.

She sets the tone instantly: bold, nostalgic, and full of personality. Before you’ve even stepped inside, the house is already telling you exactly who it is. Love it! 🙂

This makes me miss summer! A full view of the back of the house reveals a mid-century modern outdoor patio designed for relaxation and connection. White built-in seating flanks a large white firepit, creating a clean, architectural backdrop that invites conversation and cozy gatherings.
From the poolside, you can see the casita in the distance—a full guest house with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathrooms. (Let me know in the comments if you want a full tour of this space!).
A closer look at the firepit area highlights the design’s clever use of low, white architectural seating walls and planter beds. This backyard with a built-in fire pit is perfect for both lounging and entertaining. I can imagine myself here!
The pool area is a serene oasis framed by lounge chairs, extending the home’s joyful energy outdoors. The biggest takeaway? Living with what makes you happy—a love for mid-century modern style and vibrant colors—creates an energy that uplifts the homeowner and everyone who steps inside. Touring it on Home Bunch, you can feel it too! 🙂
1. Are mid-century modern renovations expensive? Costs vary, but many homeowners start with budget-friendly updates like new lighting, neutral paint colors, hardware swaps, and organic textiles before tackling larger projects.
2. How do I make a mid-century space feel warm and inviting? Focus on warm neutrals, soft ambient lighting, layered textures, natural fabrics, and wood accents. Earthy tones instantly add comfort and warmth.
3. What are key features of a mid-century modern home? Look for clean lines, open floor plans, large windows, natural materials like wood and stone, integrated indoor-outdoor living, and minimalist built-ins. Pops of color and sculptural furniture pieces can elevate the design.
4. Can mid-century modern design work in small spaces? Absolutely! Use multifunctional furniture, built-in storage, mirrors to expand the sense of space, and light, neutral wall colors. Even in compact homes, the characteristic clean lines and clever layouts shine.
5. How do I mix mid-century modern with other styles? Layering mid-century furniture with contemporary or boho accents can create an eclectic yet cohesive space. Keep core pieces mid-century in shape and material, then add color, patterns, and textures from other styles for personality.
A gentle thank you to everyone who helped bring this beautiful home tour to life.
