Luis and Alex’s Mid-Century Modern House
Name: Luis and Alex Location: West Seattle. Seattle, WA My wife Alex and I bought this charming 1950s mid-century house last year in a quiet 50s neighborhood in West Seattle, about 20 minutes from downtown. It’s a really tiny two bedroom, one bathroom bungalow around 900 square feet (before we finished the basement). Before we moved in we re-did the kitchen. We opened up the wall to the dining room to allow much needed daylight to flood the room.

From Amanda: To brighten up the space, we installed a tongue and groove accent wall (to cover the heavy knock down texture) and painted it white. A new larger glass French door let light pour.
