Updated MCM home

Came across this article on an updated MCM home.  Take a look, I think it's quite well done, a large improvement over what was there.

 

Have no idea why the previous owners would have used swag type draperies and colonial doors in a modern home,  but there is no accounting for taste.

The redo puts it to about what it should’ve looked like in the first place. Definitely seems like there were conflicting styles/tastes in the original design.

The view

is great! Nice renovation, very high end. Not crazy about the tile in the powder room. That's at least a million dollar home, or close.
8 foot ceilings don't bother me because of our winter heating needs.
Ours are 8 ft., 9 in the step down family/dining room.
Portland doesn't have severe winters.
We just got a 7 foot tall china cabinet, and it is in our living room. It makes the ceiling seem higher. The house had a former pass hall at the back of the living room with a pony wall. After it was removed, it opened up usable space, but the room felt very long, and narrow. This piece balances the room now.
We had a sofa table, and grand father clock there before. It was time to retire the early 90's one of a kind local Milford artist's abstract acrylic painting which hung on that wall. It's colors are aubergine, mauve, teal, silver, and white.
It looks like a whale spouting water (sort of), with a rather pronounced appendage.
I paid her a handsome $200 for it. At first, she did not want to sell it.
