Colorful Home Makeover: Mid-Century Meets Maximalism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- When two mid-century architecture-loving homeowners bought this suburban home, they knew they wanted to bring it back to its former glory. Working closely with builder BenHomes, creative minds Raymond Girard and Laird Kay gave this dated home a new life, modern upgrades (a sleek green kitchen!) and a colorful maximalist edge that fits their lifestyle. From lego sculptures to aviation paraphernalia, this stunning collectors' can only be described as FUN!

Echoing the majority of comments here: this was a great house with fun homeowners. Terrific video with a story! More of this please!
What a sweet couple, very respectful of each other's contribution to the discussion about the house. It looks a very warm, welcoming yet well curated home.
This home is just as fun as its owners! It’s wonderful when a “designed” home can be as true to the personality of the owners as this one is. It’s always been my fear that a designer wouldn’t quite “get” me, you know. For one thing, I’m in total agreement with the gentleman that said he wasn’t into so many white spaces. I’m in love with the color of the curtains!
We had gold curtains in our home in Dallas when I was a child; 1960's. Not certain what the pop pallete was like back then.
@@sarahelizabeth7638 My mother had JC Penney make custom gold velvet curtains for our house when I was 7-8, in the mid ‘60s. I thought they were the most beautiful things! That was in Little Rock, Arkansas.
It wouldn't surprise me if my mother ordered from pennies also. I think she liked JCPenney back then.
@@sarahelizabeth7638 That’s neat. We’re from the same area of the country, basically.
@@rneustel388 cool.
I love them, as an Architect my self I think they did an amazing job with this house, it feels fresh but it has a lots of character and definitely seems like it belongs to them. As they said sometimes mid century modern houses now days feel like cutouts, they don't have a soul because they were trying to achieve a certain look, this house feels like it belongs to them.
I like it when the homeowners show their interests and collections.
I love it when I like the collections.
Great place!
Those amber velvet drapes make my heart sing.
House and home team, thank you for this video. It's great when the videos are longer and more detailed! I love listening to people's life stories and how they connect to their houses
This house was a BREATH of fresh air! What a stunning, personal, joyous representation of their individual unapologetic personalities without constant “resale” mindset. Stunning. What I wouldn’t have given to have my grandmothers home bought by people who appreciated history and story of a home instead of the people who bought it and made the entire home white with marble floors, kitchen and bathrooms.Soulesss.
So glad to see homeowners with actual taste and personalized styles! Not just painting everything black and gold and white and making everything modern.
Such a sweet relationship between those two!
I love mid century furnitures and teak. This home is so tastefully done, clean and not overdone.I love how the kitchen is like a jewel from the living room. Just beautiful.
BEST video H&H has ever done!!!! Wow. These men have true style. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. H&H please, please do more content like this.
This place succeeds more so than the typical H&H episode due to their use of vintage. A house won’t have a soul if everything is new. Great job you two!
I would buy that house in a HEARTBEAT! It's perfect.
I love this and love that they used so many pre-loved things and found things, even out of the garbage.
This is one of the few interior designs that actually makes orange look good! Orangey hues aren't easy to work with but these guys made it work. Nice!
Easily my favorite. I was in love when I saw mid century 😍
The modern 1970's aesthetic. ❤️
ok wow. So much inspiration to be found here! I love the kitchen, the orange, the sage, the bookshelves! not to mention the owners. I can't wait to show this to my 11 yo son who loves lego, airplanes and home design! what a fun and creative home.
The mossy cabinets 😍 gorgeous
The transportation theme 🪄
I think sign of a truly great renovation is that it looks like "this is how is should have been designed all along". Just the perfect balance of new and well-loved pieces.
We have a Samsung Frame TV and I love that when it's "off" there's not a big black slab on the wall.
That's the most functional home book wall I've ever seen. No sculptures or plants taking up book space, different spaces for magazines and different sizes of books, wonderful.
I’ve watched this video so many times, and it keeps getting better. What a unique, personal style that pays homage to the best of mid-century design without being themey. So much character. Love the homeowners too.
This house is amazing!
I didn’t realize until this moment that these two gems are exactly who my husband and I are unintentionally inspiring to be… Love this so much!!
Elevated nerdery .. ha! Perfect!
Chefs kiss to that Lego room
I love this so much. A big nod to mid century without being cliche. And I love that you’ve embraced a split level. And OMG, keeping the paneling was EVERYTHING!!!
LOVED THIS!!! There’s not much mid century mixed with maximalist style. So beautiful.
Those office spaces are to die for!!!
Love these two 'transport geeks' such a fun couple with excellent style.
Love this house! And this couple. Great taste but not stuffy and a true appreciation of everything they love
This is certainly my cup-a-tea. I have styled my new home very similar to this absolutely beautiful Mid-Century modern and I absolutely love it. WOW! what a treat this home is and yes, Raymond Girard and Laird Kay have created heaven that they can certainly relate too ... Love Love Love
Wow, you can literally feel the personality everywhere! Amazing inspo, thank you! ❤
I love this house, so much color and character!
Whoa. Coolest lego sculptures.
Articulate, talented, fun and interesting owners! Love this house, wish we could have seen the pool area, appreciate how they value and display their books (as opposed to the sad trend of hiding the spines). I covet the studio and all that Lego to play with and the airplane studio, too. Wow! More like this please!
I love this home with its individual rooms and WALLS. It's so refreshing to see a kitchen that has not had the walls torn down. I agree with Raymond Girard about the white walls in the bedroom, but the room does soften when those gorgeous curtains are drawn. @10:28, love that little collection of buses and actually rode some of those routes growing up in London (UK) where I still live.
Love the couple!!!
Lego room is the show stopper!!
Love this home and the homeowners are awesome. They have a great eye for design and appreciation for the footprint of the house. I love how they have embraced the paneling, rug and took it to the next level. Classic and playful.
Wow...what a way to update and predate at the same time. When they said southern Ontario I thought it could be my own home town, so many of these split levels built when I was a kid. They've brought such life to this one!
I like how they unapologetically embrace their belongings. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous in every way.
this is reeky beautiful! I have never seen a home which is so customised in H&H where it's matches and compliments the couple in such an extraordinary way. its not a house for anyone. its a home for them
This is perfect Mid Century Modern mixed with contemporary living. I love all their choices, especially the library in the main living room . Just gorgeous.
Love love love all those green plants...large scale pots and large scale plants... I am SO copying this idea!
LOVE the house! And the owners are so lovely :)
Really beaitiful home! Aspirational! design and not boring!!!
The house has a strong, warm and welcoming personality! Lovely !
I love what they did with this house! I love the bookcase, especially the magazine shelves. Beautiful!
Beautiful space! Love y’all’s “elevated nerdery.”
'Elevated nerdery'. That's my design aesthetic nailed!
This house is so cool! I love the studios / offices and LOVE that smoking room! It’s just the perfect amount of MCM to avoid being kitschy! Well done!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Our homes should reflect what we love. Great design to show case all of that and more.
What a wonderful segment. Two very interesting people. Loved hearing their take on the design while embracing their passions. So much fun to listen to. thanks H&H.
Absolutely love everything about the house.
I need this chicken wall lamp. The house looks great, very inspiring.
Very impressive!!!😍😍😍
One of the best house is I've ever seen love their collections Longford mid-century love their taste love the bank air every room is amazing congratulations you great men and you got great taste
I love this couple
Favourite bit: where Raymond (almost...) let Laird finish a sentence...
A fab home and very talented owners 🙌 the Lego sculpture and photography, both superb👌
What a beautiful inspiring home you have created.
This was fascinating in the best way possible! I absolutely loved how they added their personal touch to the entire home, and took a cookie cutter style house that is everywhere, and made it unique and beautiful and stylish and so full of life and color! Kudos to the homeowners and builders and design influences that brought this all together...it is really magnificent.
The dream home. I’d live in this house any day.
"The house of two grown men who can't quite grow up" I mean the phrase has a nice ring to it, but I don't find it to be true. They are stiking to what they love and what means the most for them; and okay, it might be too geeky for some, but it works for them, and I am glad that they could create that for themselves, a house that evokes their personality 🙌🙌🙌
What an interesting home with such a great color scheme. Really, really the gorgeous dining room table!
A beautiful, functional home concept that proves - minimalism doesn't need to be Japanese, Scandinavian, very (almost) white, and full of empty space, with no books (almost, lol) and basically zero decors.
An exceptional result of the owners/designers' cooperation.
Well done; enjoy your house, guys!
Absolutely stunning. In love with everything. It’s like my brain was transferred into their home and they get to live in it. Plus, they are both very handsome. SOOOO……..JEALOUS 😬
Lovely humans! Stunning home.
I love this! I love their life together, and they have such style and taste. I want to explore that house properly. Bet they throw exceptional parties 🍸
The buses!!! 👌🏼😍
I adored this. Didn't think I'd see fellow mid century avid maximalists on this channel. Their house is fire
Gorgeous! Love the before and after shots.
This house is brilliant! 🤩👏🏻
What an amazing HOME. Me fascinó, elegante con el mejor de los gustos y los dueños encantadores!!!
The house is gorgeous! It just kills me that they’re the literal stereotype of a HGTV couple.
“Hi! I’m a photographer, my husband is a Lego sculptor and we have a budget of $895,000” (made the price up).
How did they afford this!?
I'm glad to see more colour in design lately
I love how this house looks. You all did an amazing job.
Beautiful and really personal style!
Title says it all! Love it.
Ahhh Yes!! Finally a home with depth, design, colour. House and home you need to show more folks like this rather than your traditional “white” aesthetic. Bravo ✨🙌🏽✨
FINALLY COLOR. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!
If I see one more black and white house I’ll scream
Wonderful home and interview. It’s so impressive to me that the exterior in particular has such a natural mid century feel now considering what it was before. Just stunning.
It would be so much fun if the original architect or architects and the original residents could make a trip into what for them would have been the future so they could see the house now. I'd love to get their reaction. I can imagine characters from "Mad Men" being in this house when it was new. I wonder what Don Draper and the others would think of the present-day version!
Though midcentury is not usually my thing, they personalized it and made it fun and hip! Love it!
'This' is exactly what I look forward to seeing.. they're super naturals hosts!!!
SUCH AN INCREDIBLY COOL HOUSE!!! And I ADORE, REPEAT ADORE the guys LEGO SCULPTURES!!!❤❤❤❤
Omg such a cool and personal space! Really beautiful and unique.
They have excellent taste
I've watched this video so many times, the home is just so charming and tells such a story about the couple and their lives together, and their own interests individually.
Love this house and the entertaining presentation.
wow, would i LOVE to go to a party hosted by these two in their amazing home. so much inspo. just finished watching, and i'm going to watch it again now!!!
Would have been fun to spend LockDown in that Library Living Room with pre dinner drinks every night!!! Lol!
It is not my taste, but for mid-century, this is exceptionally well done.
your comment is not my taste, but I see where you come from and I appreciate your effort in commenting something positive
Same for me.
I love these guys. They are so unique and entertaining. Anyone would have a good time with them. I bet they are the best hosts and I for one would love to be at one of their cocktail parties.😂. They have such great taste. I never would have guessed their house originally was the classic split level. It was an amazing transformation.
Love this house!
I love the green in the kitchen. After living in Palm Springs for many years I can attest to the fact that they have captured it in many ways, minus the 120 degree summers.
What a delightful couple! And a wonderful restoration of the home!!
