When a young homeowner with design and renovation experience got her hands on this one in Ludlow, she gave it a “mid mod” makeover.
The Midcentury Modern style (often called “mid mod”) has become very popular, helped along by TV shows like
Mad Men. Homeowner Stacey Childs took the clean lines, uncluttered look and blend of organic with geometric from that style and used them to reimagine her urban bungalow.
“When I bought the house, it looked like a box of crayons exploded in here,” Childs said, referring to the many paint colors used in the house. In addition to neutralizing the wall and ceiling colors, she opened the dining room to the kitchen and chipped off a lot of old plaster. This created a spacious kitchen with room for a table, long island and open shelving. There was even space for a new powder room with an exposed brick wall.

Packer s Four Americas
Thumb-Sucker of the Month. Of all I ve read this month, the opinion piece that most got me thinking (although
not, in point of fact, actually sucking my thumb while doing so) was George Packer s Four Americas article in
Atlantic magazine.
Whoa there, Derb. Isn t
Atlantic a lefty outlet, with anti-white word-salad merchant Ta-Nehisi Coates on the masthead? And isn t Packer himself left-progressive?
Yes and yes. Packer s more of an old-line liberal, though (he ll turn 61 in August) and capable of talking sense for quite long stretches before lurching reflexively into mention of the dark energies behind Reaganite conservatism, or the reality of planetary destruction, or how Donald Trump aligned himself publicly with hard-core racists. I took all those quotes from the Four Americas piece; and no, Packer doesn t identify any of those hard-core racists.
