Woodstock has a pretty swank mid-century house.

Mid-Century Exterior Paint

We've been talking about painting the exterior trim of our house. Neither of us is in love with the green.
We're going to leave the white because 1) we like it and 2) we don't want to turn this into a giant project. So I've been looking to color schemes, based on the main color of white, that look good and fit the time period of our house.

A soft or mid-tone grey with a door that pops could be really interesting.
Blue is a strong contender.
Black and white is classic, but might be a little stark.
We'd love to get some more suggestions.

Another peek inside a mid-century Austin home.

The bathroom situation is a little weird, but I could live with it for a house like this.

Mid-Century Austin Estate Sale: 6108 Janey Dr.

There's a decent estate sale going on this weekend. The furniture, which is amazing and what got me in the door, is overpriced, but the smaller items - clothing, jewelry, accessories, household items - are going for a decent price.

Don't go looking for this brown purse though, it was one of the things that was under priced and it's in my wife's closet.

Here are the details:

October 8 - October 10: 9am - 4pm

Mid-century Austin Postcards

It's hard to image what Austin looked like back when our mid-century ranch home was built. Luckily, we don't have to imagine because of these vintage postcards.

Can you spot what's missing in one of the postcards?
