Mid Mod Remodel

Even if you are currently a hale and hearty person with zero mobility issues, planning for universal functionality in your bathroom is a massive win. Anyone can break a bone and age is coming for all of us. 
Unfortunately, when most of us dream about updating a mid-century bathroom, we jump straight to gorgeous tile, sleek lighting, and the ultimate vintage aesthetic. And accessibility or other concerns about aging in place take a backseat…if they make it in at all. 
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
The right time start thinking about accessibility in your bathroom. 
How to design a future-ready bath you love today. 
Simple accessibility upgrades everyone should include in a bath remodel.

Even those of us who are now professional mid-century designers have skeletons in our closets (and in my case, basements). My fellow designer, Aletha Van der Mass of True Home Restorations, and I have both walked the design regret path. 
And now we both spend our time helping others avoid making the same mistakes. 
So today, in the interest of community (and laughter through tears) we are both sharing our shameful home renovation stories.

Welcome to Season 25…all about bathrooms! If you’re craving a tactical, "do-this-then-that" checklist, hold tight. We’ll get there. But before I talk about materials, layouts, or fixtures, I want to start with something more fundamental. Philosophy. 
Today I’m challenging you to stop asking how and start asking why.
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
Why asking the right questions about your bath remodel is so important. 
How to plan a regret-proof bath remodel.
All the reasons you should slow roll your bath remodel.

Any Pinterest or web search on “mid-century kitchen” is going to yield a plethora of open plan kitchens featuring a central island. But as we learned a couple of weeks ago from friend of the pod (and mid-century houses everywhere), Atom Stevens, a mid-century kitchen is a room with four walls.
So where did this “open mid-century kitchen” myth come from?
I’m wrapping up our kitchen season with a deep dive into one of my all-time favorite open kitchen plans - it’s also very likely THE OG island kitchen - The Stahl House (Case Study House 22), designed by California architect Pierre Koenig.
In today’s episode you’ll hear:
Why this open kitchen is actually defined by constraints. 
Which elements make this dramatic kitchen eminently useable.  
How to adapt Koenig’s creative design moves to work in even the most modest mid-century ranch.
