Before updating an MCM home, you want to know what has changed in the generations that have passed since those mid-century ranches were constructed. We aren’t the same people our parents and grandparents were, so we need to tweak their homes a bit to make them facilitate a modern lifestyle. Think about updating an MCM home as a holistic project that reaches back to the past, plans for the future and suits the way you want to live right now. #MCM #remodel Ranch Remodel, Midwestern, Pep Talks, Design Thinking

It helps to know where we’re coming from before we plan where to go next. The main message here is that history happens in a context. The materials, style, choices, and culture that add up to a mid-century ranch all come from somewhere. Knowing the history, helps us recognize what’s still important about our homes (and what might not be). Knowing what’s important to you will help you streamline decisions about remodeling your house. #history #midcenturymodern
