Watch as we slowly, oh so slowly, turn this unloved and neglected historic, mid-century gem from "Oh honey, you're just gonna have to gut it!" into a fabulous, comfortable, totally cool space to love. We're doing all of the work ourselves on a shoestring budget. The work takes time since we work all week but we're dedicated to the project.

Modern 50 - Houses Invitation!

We received a letter from the Modern Architecture preservation Project of Tucson (MAPP) informing us that our home has been nominated as a candidate for the program. The group is gathering information on 100 historic homes in Tucson through photos, plans, and other publications and will be viewing our home sometime in May. The awards program is entitled Modern 50 - Houses and will identify 50 "exceptional and unique Modern homes built in Tucson during the mid-20th century." We're pleased to be invited to participate and are so thankful that the group is willing to wait until our kitchen project is completed before they come to view the house! If you'd like more information about the project you can visit http://mapptucson.org. to see an article from the Arizona Daily Star on the Modern 50 for commercial and institutional buildings you can visit http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/byauthor/305770.

Wish us luck!!!
