Okay, this house is as white & beige as can be, but let's look at it as a blank slate and appreciate the original architecture. It's a fairly rare 1939 Moderne home, located in Austin, Texas. 3bds, 2ba, $1.185M. I'm kind of surprised at the price, TBH. Anyway...
Tumblr media
This is an actual 1939 home color guide - look at the cracks in the paint samples.
Tumblr media
Look at how different and beautiful the fireplace is, and how the arched ceiling has uplighting.
Tumblr media
I wonder if that glass door is original.
Tumblr media
Small dining room with a tray ceiling- that would really pop with some color.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen is a nice size and the cabinets look original. The floor looks original, also.
Tumblr media
Look at the little desk. And, the stainless steel backsplash MAY be authentic, but more than likely, it would be laminate.
Tumblr media
Instead of a dining room, they may have opened this up and put in a kitchen counter to give it a family room like a modern open concept layout.
Tumblr media
I think that at least part of it was a dining room b/c of the double doors that open to the patio.
Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is lovely.
Tumblr media
The tile is so pristine- it must've at least been regrouted. Look at the peeling on the mirror- that's original.
Tumblr media
What a sweet bedroom with angels on the ceiling.
Tumblr media
The 2nd bath is also very nice. That has to be an original vanity.
Tumblr media
Here's a lovely sunroom. I would do this in a retro tropical style.
Tumblr media
The 3rd bd. is a home office.
Tumblr media
I wonder what that structure on the roof is- they don't show it. Could it be that sunroom? Maybe it is. That would be so cool. I wish they showed how to get up there.
Tumblr media
It has a large yard.
Tumblr media
The garage was converted into a music studio and office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I guess if the new buyers want to, they can change it back, but they would have to take down the walls.

Vietnamese architects and historians consider the years from 1940 to 1975 the golden age of Vietnamese modernism. In that period, major modernist public buildings such as hospitals and hotels were designed and constructed.
- Mel Schenck via Saigoneer, "How Vietnam Created Its Own Brand of Modernist Architecture"

This is beautiful. It’s an elegant 1933 house in San Francisco, California with 3bd. 1.5ba. and is $1.595M.
Tumblr media
Nice big entrance foyer. Beautifully detailed ceiling and original light fixture- the style of the 30s was still Art Deco, but called Moderne.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rich dark woods, moderne, rather than rustic, ceiling beams, and a corner fireplace. Like how they painted the chimney dark gray for contrast.
Tumblr media
The dining room is bright, has a different ceiling pattern that looks painted on, and beautiful original doors.
Tumblr media
The dining room opens to this wonderful patio in the middle of the house.
Tumblr media
Sunny little breakfast room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s roomy enough. I wonder why there’s no exhaust over the stove, though.
Tumblr media
The rounded hallway is very Art Deco.
Tumblr media
Lovely main bd. This home is so filled with light.
Tumblr media
Love the original tile in the bath.
Tumblr media
This could actually be a main bd., also. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isn’t the family room amazing? And, it has a bar plus a fireplace.
Tumblr media
They have it set up as an extra bd., but it’s not meant to be one.
Tumblr media
It does, however, fit in nicely at the end of the room that opens to the garden.
Tumblr media
The stairs are lovely. It doesn’t look like it, but this is the lower level of the home.
Tumblr media
And, here is the 1/2 bath.
Tumblr media
Very nice laundry room with a sink and folding table.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isn’t the garden pretty? I like the upper patio.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The garage is so neat and has lots of storage.
