The Week I Spent In 1957
MCM is not really my aesthetic, but I can appreciate quality materials, form and design, which the place has in spades. It’s not a rumpus room filled with thin paneling and vinyl furniture. It’s actually a 68-year-old who skipped the fillers and facelifts because she didn’t need them.Things to love:•A backyard out of a Slims Aaron photograph•I have never seen this much Blenko and Bischoff glass in one place•The closet full of Russel Wright crockery so beautiful•All of the original appliances work! There are two modern small fridges and a chest freezer•The neighborhood is nearly silent day and night•The terrazzo floor feels amazing on your feet and looks brand newQuirky things:•The shower head height is about 2 feet shorter than standard install today, it's tricky the first time you use it•Pea gravel drive. I personally love it, but there will be some that won’t •The bed was a tad too firm for me•I travel with extension cords and used both in this houseAfter you get past feeling like you are in a museum and really start “living” in the house you can appreciate the timeless materials and craftsmanship that went into the home and why it was worthy of the careful continued care. I work for a week in Lakeland each April and this home is at the top of the list for a return stay.
