In my town there is a well known builder by the name of Mossman. He built a lot of houses in the early 1960s. He is well known here for the quality of his construction, and for traditional ranch style homes. There are a few modern ones he built, but not many. And I ended up with one of the traditional ones.
So the point of this was not to make the house look like the day it first sold in 1964 (in fact the before photos are not much different from that frankly), but rather to re-imagine a traditional ranch home of the era as a home that would showcase our Danish Modern furniture. I think I succeeded.
All the wet area floors are natural slate, Montauk Black, special order from Home Depot, from a company called MSI.
The kitchen counters are soapstone from the Alberene quarry in Virginia.
The dry area floors are the original red oak, refinished with Waterlox and Trewax, except for the master suite, which has cork flooring.
The flooring used on the exterior front, interior hallway accent wall, and the firewood boxes is sold as "Golden Teak" (technically it is Enterlobium schombergkii, which is a South American legume tree more closely related to rosewood than teak).
The furniture is a lot of Johannes Aasbjerg, with a few pieces of Hans Wegner and Børge Mogensen, a few other Danish and Norwegian designers, and finally a few of my own pieces.
