apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


David and Amy's Great Room
Chicago Social

davidamy031009.jpgWaaaay back in 2007, we were happy to feature the apartment of Amy and David. Their vintage modern home filled with art, classic furniture and tiki touches has long been a favorite in our archives. Since then, they made the move to a home in...

 
 

...Munster, Indiana.

The owners of Pegboard Modern still maintain their presence in Chicago through the business (located in McKinley Park) , but love the period details and space that their modernist ranch house property includes. We love the central fireplace in their new great room, surrounded by some of their well-loved vintage finds such as the Finn Juhl Cheiftan chair and a George Nakashima rocker.

Check out their mention in Chicago Social this month and visit their house tour right here for a walk down memory lane.

This is another example of MCM to the exclusion of all else, however, albeit much more attractive.

Does anyone know the name/type/manufacturer of the fireplace pictured? Thanks.

If that's vintage, it could have been Wendell Lovett (Seattle Architect, known for the ubiquitous 60's/70's prefab fireplace). Or custom.

Agree with DN--too much MCM, although at least they have some actual vintage and no-name stuff in the mix. Better than the Oak Park house from yesterday.

Anyone else think it's a waste to have only hard wooden seating around such a kick-ass fireplace? I would want to curl up on a soft sofa or daybed there, not be exposed in the middle of the room on a wooden rocker.

Just another great reason to check out Munster IN, good folks like David and Amy. Their house is fantastic!
