Mod Room: Pan American Health Organization Building

http://mod-room.blogspot.com/2012/05/pan-american-health-organization.html

Celebrating inspiring and fun design in the Bluegrass and beyond. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Pan American Health Organization Building. 8232;
After returning home, I've learned that Uruguayan architect Roman Fresnedo Siri. Known for his design of civic buildings throughout South America, won an international competition in 1961 to design the building. It was officially opened in 1965. My favorite part of the structure though is the geometric screen that encases the entire building in true midcentury style.

crestwoodmodern | Crestwood Modern

https://crestwoodmodern.wordpress.com/author/eholsomback

On July 16, 2012. As mentioned in the last post, we finally got around to getting our subway tile backsplash up. It took us about 9 hours that weekend to (nearly) finish everything–cutting tiles, placing tiles, and putting in grout. Sadly, we ran out of grout at the very end with a little over 1 square foot left. That small area will be finished very soon. A couple pictures of what it looks like now:. And just to show how far the kitchen has come since last year, this is what it used to look like:. Once ...

The living room gets a bookshelf | Crestwood Modern

https://crestwoodmodern.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/the-living-room-gets-a-bookshelf

The living room gets a bookshelf. On November 2, 2011. On our recent trip to Ikea. The vases on top of the shelf also came from Ikea. We’re thinking about adding a white lamp on the top…still have to find one, though. We also finally found some frames we liked at Ikea. To fit our slightly larger than 4×6 postcards in:. Postcards were purchased from one of our favorite shops, What’s on 2nd? We are finally getting some of the main living space looking like someone actually lives there! Blog at WordPress&#4...

Finally getting around to the master bathroom | Crestwood Modern

Finally getting around to the master bathroom. On November 11, 2011. Hopefully we’ll get the glue off the wall fairly soon (this has been a very slow process) so that we can actually begin painting once we select the shade of brown for the walls.

We Have Not Disappeared | Crestwood Modern

https://crestwoodmodern.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/275

We Have Not Disappeared. On June 18, 2012. We haven’t disappeared or quit working on the house. Between the wedding and holidays, we just haven’t had time to take pictures of what we’ve done and write about them. The subway tile in the kitchen is finished. It will have a post of its own. Photos for the master bedroom wall were finally purchased and look nice on our newly painted white wall. Larr; Refinishing a dresser. Subway tile backsplash →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

New addition to the dining room–Tea/coffee bar | Crestwood Modern

https://crestwoodmodern.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/new-addition-to-the-dining-room-teacoffee-bar

New addition to the dining room–Tea/coffee bar. On October 26, 2011. Several weeks ago we got an idea from Pinterest. To have a coffee/tea bar in our dining room. It seemed like a great idea to solve a couple problems in our kitchen and dining room: the large blank white wall and limited storage and counter space in the kitchen. Since we have quite a bit of tea and coffee related items, this would actually free up a significant amount of space. To this project posted on Pinterest.). We now have space to ...

Mod Room: All Things Midcentury

http://mod-room.blogspot.com/2012/03/all-things-midcentury.html

Celebrating inspiring and fun design in the Bluegrass and beyond. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. So, it's hard to believe this was my fourth year to attend the 20th Century Cincinnati. This year's Feb. 25-26 event was as good as ever, probably due to the expansion of the convention center space, which allowed for more elbow room and less lines at the door. The modern design of the new wing pays homage to the spirit of Cincinnati's deep-rooted modernism and seemed to elevate the event to a new level. Yellow Eam...

Mod Room: 20th Century Cincinnati Show

http://mod-room.blogspot.com/2011/03/20th-century-cincinnati-show.html

Celebrating inspiring and fun design in the Bluegrass and beyond. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. 20th Century Cincinnati Show. Saturday was gloomy and cold in the greater Cincinnati area, but not inside the Sharonville Convention Center. That’s where my husband and I and a large crowd of other “modern” collectors and fans lined up to see a colorful and dizzying array of midcentury furniture, art, toys, costume jewelry, electronics, house wares, and more, all under one roof! Dinner is served- atomic style! Simpl...

Mod Room: Brief Encounter

http://mod-room.blogspot.com/2011/03/brief-encounter.html

Celebrating inspiring and fun design in the Bluegrass and beyond. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Last month on our way to the 20. We passed this sweet Mid-century Modern high school in Sharonville, Ohio, just before arriving at the convention center. Princeton High School near Cincinnati. I love the clean lines, interesting roof angles, aluminum siding, and mosaic tiles. I couldn't find any information on the colorful tile mural, if it's original to the building's design, or if it was added later. Amy lives w...
