Colorful Home Makeover: Mid-Century Meets Maximalism

[@misstopportunity6914]

Echoing the majority of comments here: this was a great house with fun homeowners. Terrific video with a story! More of this please!

[@BMotz-ym1fn]

Yeah, colour! 🤗 🎉 And not just shades of beige! 😣 Very personal and individual. I love it and in particular the kitchen. Very inspiring.👍

[@annarchydeclutteranddesign413]

What a sweet couple, very respectful of each other's contribution to the discussion about the house. It looks a very warm, welcoming yet well curated home.

[@ArtbyOscarMejia]

I love them, as an Architect my self I think they did an amazing job with this house, it feels fresh but it has a lots of character and definitely seems like it belongs to them. As they said sometimes mid century modern houses now days feel like cutouts, they don't have a soul because they were trying to achieve a certain look, this house feels like it belongs to them.

[@LeticiaAGentil]

House and home team, thank you for this video. It's great when the videos are longer and more detailed! I love listening to people's life stories and how they connect to their houses

[@upseteating8679]

This house was a BREATH of fresh air! What a stunning, personal, joyous representation of their individual unapologetic personalities without constant “resale” mindset. Stunning. What I wouldn’t have given to have my grandmothers home bought by people who appreciated history and story of a home instead of the people who bought it and made the entire home white with marble floors, kitchen and bathrooms.Soulesss.

[@rneustel388]

This home is just as fun as its owners! It’s wonderful when a “designed” home can be as true to the personality of the owners as this one is. It’s always been my fear that a designer wouldn’t quite “get” me, you know. For one thing, I’m in total agreement with the gentleman that said he wasn’t into so many white spaces. I’m in love with the color of the curtains!

[@sarahelizabeth7638]

We had gold curtains in our home in Dallas when I was a child; 1960's. Not certain what the pop pallete was like back then.

[@rneustel388]

@@sarahelizabeth7638 My mother had JC Penney make custom gold velvet curtains for our house when I was 7-8, in the mid ‘60s. I thought they were the most beautiful things! That was in Little Rock, Arkansas.

[@sarahelizabeth7638]

It wouldn't surprise me if my mother ordered from pennies also. I think she liked JCPenney back then.

[@rneustel388]

@@sarahelizabeth7638 That’s neat. We’re from the same area of the country, basically.

[@sarahelizabeth7638]

@@rneustel388 cool.

[@cargogh]

I like it when the homeowners show their interests and collections. I love it when I like the collections. Great place!

[@redfullmoon]

So glad to see homeowners with actual taste and personalized styles! Not just painting everything black and gold and white and making everything modern.

[@marchirsch1647]

This place succeeds more so than the typical H&H episode due to their use of vintage. A house won’t have a soul if everything is new. Great job you two!

[@katew947]

BEST video H&H has ever done!!!! Wow. These men have true style. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. H&H please, please do more content like this.

[@evaboldt653]

Articulate, talented, fun and interesting owners! Love this house, wish we could have seen the pool area, appreciate how they value and display their books (as opposed to the sad trend of hiding the spines). I covet the studio and all that Lego to play with and the airplane studio, too. Wow! More like this please!

[@kgalvin7503]

I’ve watched this video so many times, and it keeps getting better. What a unique, personal style that pays homage to the best of mid-century design without being themey. So much character. Love the homeowners too.

[@fierywomanpacnw7004]

Such a sweet relationship between those two!

[@tammyvanholst6913]

ok wow. So much inspiration to be found here! I love the kitchen, the orange, the sage, the bookshelves! not to mention the owners. I can't wait to show this to my 11 yo son who loves lego, airplanes and home design! what a fun and creative home.

[@rosehughes599]

I think sign of a truly great renovation is that it looks like "this is how is should have been designed all along". Just the perfect balance of new and well-loved pieces. We have a Samsung Frame TV and I love that when it's "off" there's not a big black slab on the wall.

[@KasSommers]

I love this and love that they used so many pre-loved things and found things, even out of the garbage.

[@BankruptMonkey]

That's the most functional home book wall I've ever seen. No sculptures or plants taking up book space, different spaces for magazines and different sizes of books, wonderful.

[@goldenlabelstudio]

Easily my favorite. I was in love when I saw mid century 😍

[@hannahryan3535]

I didn’t realize until this moment that these two gems are exactly who my husband and I are unintentionally inspiring to be… Love this so much!!

[@nazaninzinouri9894]

LOVED THIS!!! There’s not much mid century mixed with maximalist style. So beautiful.

[@colinkulowcreative]

I love this so much. A big nod to mid century without being cliche. And I love that you’ve embraced a split level. And OMG, keeping the paneling was EVERYTHING!!!

[@france4me117]

This is certainly my cup-a-tea. I have styled my new home very similar to this absolutely beautiful Mid-Century modern and I absolutely love it. WOW! what a treat this home is and yes, Raymond Girard and Laird Kay have created heaven that they can certainly relate too ... Love Love Love

[@janemily2627]

I would buy that house in a HEARTBEAT! It's perfect.

[@valshiro515]

This is one of the few interior designs that actually makes orange look good! Orangey hues aren't easy to work with but these guys made it work. Nice!

[@mildredmartinez8041]

Love this home and the homeowners are awesome. They have a great eye for design and appreciation for the footprint of the house. I love how they have embraced the paneling, rug and took it to the next level. Classic and playful.

[@tsoumpa870]

Those office spaces are to die for!!!

[@-OBELUS-]

Those amber velvet drapes make my heart sing.

[@NiaSharapova]

Chefs kiss to that Lego room

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

Wow...what a way to update and predate at the same time. When they said southern Ontario I thought it could be my own home town, so many of these split levels built when I was a kid. They've brought such life to this one!

[@TheAndrewRitchie]

Love this house! And this couple. Great taste but not stuffy and a true appreciation of everything they love

[@eattherich9215]

I love this home with its individual rooms and WALLS. It's so refreshing to see a kitchen that has not had the walls torn down. I agree with Raymond Girard about the white walls in the bedroom, but the room does soften when those gorgeous curtains are drawn. @10:28, love that little collection of buses and actually rode some of those routes growing up in London (UK) where I still live.

[@WestwingDeutschland]

Wow, you can literally feel the personality everywhere! Amazing inspo, thank you! ❤

[@pd4887]

I love this house, so much color and character!

[@kaavinashnair]

this is reeky beautiful! I have never seen a home which is so customised in H&H where it's matches and compliments the couple in such an extraordinary way. its not a house for anyone. its a home for them

[@StephBer1]

This is perfect Mid Century Modern mixed with contemporary living. I love all their choices, especially the library in the main living room . Just gorgeous.

[@sarahcarotabrand8943]

This house is so cool! I love the studios / offices and LOVE that smoking room! It’s just the perfect amount of MCM to avoid being kitschy! Well done!

[@garyrobertson6778]

wow, would i LOVE to go to a party hosted by these two in their amazing home. so much inspo. just finished watching, and i'm going to watch it again now!!!

[@nicoleeboo38]

LOVE the house! And the owners are so lovely :)

[@franceswhiston2572]

What a wonderful segment. Two very interesting people. Loved hearing their take on the design while embracing their passions. So much fun to listen to. thanks H&H.

[@ericc3548]

Absolutely stunning. In love with everything. It’s like my brain was transferred into their home and they get to live in it. Plus, they are both very handsome. SOOOO……..JEALOUS 😬

[@xpsxps1339]

A beautiful, functional home concept that proves - minimalism doesn't need to be Japanese, Scandinavian, very (almost) white, and full of empty space, with no books (almost, lol) and basically zero decors. An exceptional result of the owners/designers' cooperation. Well done; enjoy your house, guys!

[@aileenhenry2464]

Love these two 'transport geeks' such a fun couple with excellent style.

[@esikazemese]

This house is amazing!

[@DarcieGlam]

I love what they did with this house! I love the bookcase, especially the magazine shelves. Beautiful!

[@ManUntdForever]

What an interesting home with such a great color scheme. Really, really the gorgeous dining room table!

[@emanuelalittle7429]

This was fascinating in the best way possible! I absolutely loved how they added their personal touch to the entire home, and took a cookie cutter style house that is everywhere, and made it unique and beautiful and stylish and so full of life and color! Kudos to the homeowners and builders and design influences that brought this all together...it is really magnificent.

[@rolindamorford8753]

I like how they unapologetically embrace their belongings. 🙂

[@MsYingyang2]

I love these guys. They are so unique and entertaining. Anyone would have a good time with them. I bet they are the best hosts and I for one would love to be at one of their cocktail parties.😂. They have such great taste. I never would have guessed their house originally was the classic split level. It was an amazing transformation.

I love the green in the kitchen. After living in Palm Springs for many years I can attest to the fact that they have captured it in many ways, minus the 120 degree summers.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

[@SonsWrays]

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Our homes should reflect what we love. Great design to show case all of that and more.

I've watched this video so many times, the home is just so charming and tells such a story about the couple and their lives together, and their own interests individually.

[@mishajameson8939]

LOVE the reuse of materials. The bar-to-countertop is gorgeous. They've created one of the best, fresh versions of this distinctive architectural style that I've seen. Love that they kept the rec room as is! And a B&O stereo?? I'm in love with these gents and their wonderful home. 💯

[@jalaybi]

The dream home. I’d live in this house any day.

[@MrSSantoro]

My parents built a house exactly like this in Louisville, KY in 1973 and lived there for fourteen years. The lower level room to the left was my bedroom. I like that they added a new garage in front of the old one and made use of the old garage space as a studio. 'Bi-levels' or 'raised ranch' houses were common in the 1960s and 1970s but this particular style was rather rare so I was fascinated to see how it was transformed.

[@livia-mt5yw]

The house has a strong, warm and welcoming personality! Lovely !

[@mio0101]

This is *Magnificent!!* I love the slatted partition between the landing and the living room, which allows you to continue viewing that Awesome mid century portrait of the man. Those purple chairs are Trying to offend me, but there's so much else that's wonderful going on that I'll forgive them by handing them back to the owners and continue my fantasy of pretending this house is actually Mine. Incredible job, gentlemen! Simply excellent!!
