Re-Design

As the floor comes to a finish, it is time to start playing with the furniture layout. Here we decided to break up the space from the dining room to the living room with the loveseat we got from Ikea. It has a nice look from the back, but on the opposite wall it feels too light with only the tulip chairs flanking the sliding glass doors. We're thinking about getting chairs that compliment the loveseat, possibly Le Corbusier, to balance the space. Also by adding greenery we can bring the outside in and make the space flow better. We haven't made any decisions just yet- we are waiting for the right pieces to find us.





Here we put our Wassily chairs between the first ever wooden bat table. Can't expand on that now, but it looks great with the chairs. We are also going to be building a new cover for the heaters to give it a more updated modern look.



So, I know there are only pictures of this one room, but we are working on finishing it up before starting other projects. It is a slow process as we are busy with work and the holidays, but it is a labor of love and it coming out even better than we planned.
Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by!

We Ha Mod Gets a Facelift


Well, we're almost done laying the floors, and what a difference it makes! I don't feel like I'm in the same place as I was two months ago. I've spent about a week and a half, on and off, laying the floors like a magical mexican elf, and they look amazing! A few more small cuts and some detailing and they will be done!

This is our latest set-up for our living area, so tell us what you think!!







Artie's table really makes the place feel like a One-of-a-Kind modern getaway. I almost don't want to think about moving in two years!




The thing we need most is a great seating area. We entertain a lot and need a functional layout that will maximize the space. We decided on this layout, with the loveseat along the wall and three chairs on the sliding doors that can be turned to face the TV. We put one more Wassily chair next to the loveseat to get a good balance.

Halloween = Laying Floors and Watching Movies


So after 5 straight years of hosting Halloween parties in Boston, Lil P and I decided to take the night off and work on Weha Mod. Our neighbor downstairs is in Mexico until Nov 4th and laying the floor can be quite loud at times, so we want to make sure we finish before she gets back. After some tricky corner cuts we finally finished the "office/guest room" and began working on the combination living room / dining room. After a few hours we were thrilled at the ease in which the boards were sliding together and the progress we had made.



We decided to stop around 10pm and watch old school 1960's James Bond. Great movies and amazing vintage mod furniture throughout. Today we will be working on the floors till 11am then heading out to Olive Garden with Linda, watching Lil P's dance performance in M-Town and finally rocking out at MoSUN.
