EICHLER HOME TOUR


At the beginning my California trip, I had the pleasure of staying with my BFF and her husband at their incredible home. Their house was built by Joesph Eichler, best known for building mid-century modern subdivisions throughout Califonia between 1946-1966. During this time period, Eichler built over 11,000 homes in Northern and Southern California.

Eichler's goal was to bring modern architecture to the general public. Some typical characteristics of Eichlers include post and beam construction, window walls, skylights, and atriums; the intention of these features was to bring the outside in.

So far, my friends have renovated the kitchen, a bathroom, added oak flooring throughout the main living area, and have completely remodeled the outside living space. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the outside, but one of the most stunning updates is the modern fence that wraps around the perimeter of the home.

I've always flip-flopped on whether or not I could see myself living in a modern home; this house has me completely convinced that I would love it! Please enjoy some of the photos I took while I was there.

While I was there, we began redesigning the bedroom. To start, we painted the walls Benjamin Moore, Pure White. The next steps will be updating the dresser, night stands, lighting, and adding a rug.
