This video was shot with a iPhone 10s, mostly with the app MoviePro and some with the Apple Photo app. The video was shot over several months so some furniture and paintings changed from shot to shot. I would get an "F" in continuity if this were a commercial project...lol.
I want to thank Walter Pawluk of Walter Pawluk Productions for taking our crude video footage and making it look much better.

It’s so amazing that your letting ordinary people like me into your world. I so appreciate it. What a terrific tour. Love the house and all the art. Very inspiring!!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

that's sweet. thank you.

[@sandysteven6792]

What a beautiful property! Bravo!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you!

[@RealEstateHappens]

Extraordinary mid century modern home Chase! 🌴🏡🌴

[@GM-yn9nc]

Doesn't get any better than this. Such love and care radiates out to us all. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

You are so kind

[@averagealice8877]

So strange that when I was young I took these types of homes for granted, and now they seem so incredible and well- conceived to me… such a beautiful setting!

[@sheilastahl633]

My new Med Century home is rising from the ground as I watch this video of your wonderful artful and beautiful home.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

I'm excited for you.

[@jasonhurley3954]

Love your house and the video, thanks so much for sharing your home!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Cloudburst2000]

I love that you have kept so many of the original features of the home. So many people get rid of the beautiful original features and try to make the homes look like Pottery Barn inside. I recently bought an MCM home where I live (no where as near as lovely as yours LOL). It has last been updated in the 90s so very little MCM left in the home. The home in under renovation and I am adding back in as much MCM as possible.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thanks for sharing. good luck with your new home.

[@lapislazarus8899]

The house I inherited is MCM, and my parents had gotten Danish furniture for dining & formal living in the late 70s/early 80s that goes well with the the clearstory windows and such. It's just a lot of cubic footage to try to cool down in hot New Mexico summers... Awnings on the ground level south-facing glass doors helps. I can't afford to replace all the windows and such; winters are mild so don't rely on heating as much. It is too much house for me though... Even though it's a little over 1100sqft!

[@colinstables]

I've just bought a 1950 Beach house in New Zealand, Super excited for the renovations, it'll be true 50s with super modern vibe like cavity sliders with no architraves, original 1950 oven and kitchen, will be a true 50s refresh with new and old. Your home is the only cohesive mcm ive seen and is superb, the change from 50s to 60s is so subtle, bravo

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thanks for saying that.

[@mirtikaschultz3282]

It's funny. I came to see the house (fabulous) and kept thinking, "Wow, I love the art in this house." Then I find out YOU are the artist. :). Thanks for the tour. Just so envious. :)

[@Marsydotes]

Absolutely amazing architecture! I love that you stayed true to the MCM roots of the home and didn’t replace everything with contemporary fixtures.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Us too!

[@ChrissieNicely]

Both your homes are stunningly beautiful, very modern yet cosy. Your paintings really complement the spaces and vice versa. Thank you for sharing these insights. 🥰😘

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much! Glad you saw both videos. take care.

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

Must be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NICE😭😭😭😭😭

[@suepeer3078]

I love everything about your home. Your art work is beautiful!

[@lisajames7128]

Absolutely stunning!!!! I wish you both many happy years there. I love everything about it, and your art is beautiful!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thank you.

[@aztekman68]

One of the most amazing homes I have seen. You guys have killed it!!!

[@kimberlylee5195]

Your home and art are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

You are so welcome!

[@andrewh3730]

Wow! Such an amazing house. I love the layout with the brick exterior. Also the idea of having an area where you can set it up as an art Gallery. The outside pool area is amazing, I’m not much of a pool person but it feels very relaxing. I love the mountain area around your home and how you’ve welcomed those walking their dogs providing a watering hole is you will. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thanks for the nice comments.

[@carlosalenduran4630]

Absolutely gorgeous home

[@artvaultcalif]

Thank you for sharing your home. You have done a wonderful job of honoring the past and moving it forward.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much!

[@liliannaa3627]

What a beautiful and authentic home, full of personality! You are such a welcoming host! And your art work is absolutely amazing!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much.

[@timward3116]

Thank you for posting! I absolutely LOVE your paintings, the house, and landscape/view! I know such a place must be very expensive, and I am glad to see that you didn't get one of those cold, sterile marble palaces reminiscent of a 1980's shopping mall with a Sears on one end and a Dillards on the other. The view of your home from every angle indicates your great eye for design. You two must be very happy there! I'm always working on my little place, which is an amoeba in comparison, but even small condos can incorporate some of what you've done with your place - and I am always working on mine. Have a great day! Again, thanks for sharing!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thanks for the nice note.

[@davidsheppard1362]

Excellent. You have two fantastically gorgeous homes.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much! we have now sold both and have a ranch house in Rancho Mirage. We are working on making it special in our own way. Maybe someday I'll do a video about it.

[@aeroglyphe]

So Beautiful! So much character!

[@danfriedman1267]

Exquisite home, beautiful artwork, and a delightful video production!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Dan -- So glad you liked it. It was fun to do. It's very "homemade". ;-)

[@misfitted4874]

I enjoyed this tour of your lovely home. I love how it’s historic and your art is magnificent! 🥰😍✨

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much!

[@chrishoey61]

Love your home. Big fan of Mid Century architecture. .

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thanks Christopher!

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Chase that house!! What a dream. I wish I could afford one of your paintings! Our little place is mid century ranch and doesn't have a lot of pizzaz but we're trying. My husband is the bread winner now as I am disabled. I am struck with your taste and impressed with the art. Ty for the tour.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

thanks so much Jeff. Good wishes to you both.

[@lauragwillim1055]

Such a nice relaxing tour of your beautiful MCM home. Your artwork fits the home so well!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

That's a nice house, and interesting design. I like the modern style.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Glad you like it!

[@coxpix4255]

Truly a fabulous video Chase! Your LA home is so so stunning, and your narration and tour of it is so beautiful and informative. Bravo!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maverickflint1991]

Going to go watch the other video of the other home in Palm Springs.😊👍

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

That is by one B of the three or four most beautiful houses I’ve ever seen. The painting is impressive.

[@beijingcowboy]

Fabulous tour Chase and so good to learn all the details of your marvelous home-its creation , contents, environs, history. I only had the pleasure of visiting it prior to 2002, but the images of that time have always stayed with me, and your video helps explain why the imprint was profound. Thank you!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CherzArts]

You guys are so lucky!!! I have just acquired a true 50’s contemporary and I am so happy. We have to renovate mostly everything in the house, but not do it all ourselves. There is just under half an acre of trees and azalea bushes to view from the floor to ceiling windows. I watched your video on how to create a studio in order to get some ideas for mine. Wow! How we think alike, I have those same wheels on the heavy cabinets, too. Thanks for your ideas.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Cheryl -- thanks for writing.... congrats on your new house. Chase

[@Terrazona929]

Your home is absolutely beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing this with all of us mcmophiles ❤

[@lapislazarus8899]

I love the succulent gardens. I believe those cactus that were mentioned specifically are San Pedro. 🥰

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Good to know!

[@maverickflint1991]

That place is so awesome and thank you for showing me the place.😊👍

[@tngirlz4622]

Love your beautiful home and your paintings - thank you for preserving a piece of architectural history so elegantly!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much! The new owners will do the same.

[@mesovogue]

I love this house. When I will build my own house I will defiantly take inspiration from this.

[@blakeaaron5698]

I love the way you two have grown into, articulated, and preserved this wonderful property - well done!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you so much! it was a labor of love.

[@raeart]

Super stylish and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. We have a mid century beach side home in sunny South Australia and have retained many original features and have authentic furniture etc . Friends and family urged us to update and get rid of the "old fashioned and dated" furnishings! Now the pieces are highly prized and very collectible. Your Art work is stunning and your home is fabulous.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Melody -- Thank you so much!

[@carolepivarnik9316]

Amazing, beautiful home!!! The xeriscaping is fantastic. I love how much thought and love you put into every detail. I also love your sense of humor and sweet, kind offerings to the visiting dogs. As a fellow artist and dog lover, I might be fan-girling a bit. I can't help myself, please forgive me, LOL! Best to you and Steve! I hope to see some more painting videos from you. Your work is both appealing and inspiring.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Carole -- you've got me blushing. thanks so much, Chase

[@ginaperry8209]

Fabulous

[@ChrisLaRockGorton]

It was sooooo good to see my friend - even if on a monitor! Hopefully it won't be too long before I see both Steve and you in person. xo

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Hi Chris -- we will probably visit Michigan in the next few years.

[@ponolovefarms3926]

Your home and views are amazing!

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Thank you! 😊

[@melaniecrane2755]

Dream home 💕

[@mariannejudd6088]

Beautiful house and art. Thank you for the tour.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Marianne -- Our pleasure!

[@maverickflint1991]

If they ever sell it to me I want to find any pieces of furniture that was in there when they 1st built it and make it a show home like you were walking into 1965.😊👍

[@ChazH2011]

Chase thanks for sharing your home with us. Kudos to you and your partner for finding and saving this mid-century gem. Love your art and the added artists throughout your abode. Yes it has that relaxed gallery look. I really like the low maintenance xeriscaping plus landscaping. My only disagreement with you would have been in maintaining the original redwood accents, trim and screens on the house with a clear or wood stain. I'm not fond of gray. I'll defer to your taste and desires yet I would seek to restore it to its original glory and intent. I would suppose it is difficult to maintain natural redwood in the sunny dry climate of Santa Monica. Here in TX we have pine borers and termites plus a lot of moisture (algae) which is a distinct hazard to most wood.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

It is funny you mention the panelling ..... I was thinking about it recently and had regrets that we didn't restore it. Back then I didn't realize how to do that so we painted over. I should mention to the new owners that there is walnut veneer under some of the the painted walls. In hindsight I agree with you.

[@mouniabouaziz2847]

Waw magnifique 🏡🖼🎨🤩

[@maverickflint1991]

You let those owners know that if they ever want to sell the place give me a call it will be my retirement home .😊👍❤️

[@nepenthe_gal759]

Looks like the house from the film 7 DAYS IN THE VALLEY. Am I correct?

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

no, it isn't but now you've got me curious.

[@willyummiest]

Wasn't Harry Gittes the name of Jack Nicholson's character in Chinatown?

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

right, just used Harry's last name for the character.

[@seascapes152]

You live in Santa Monica? How much is the house worth?

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

no. 90210. I'm not going to answer your second question, sorry.

[@stighelmer1265]

It's a living Hockney painting.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

I love Hockney, thanks.

[@janejdough2230]

A little Dave Brubeck would be a preferred background music.

[@ChaseLangfordArtist]

Jane -- yes, that would have be wonderful.
