“We fell in love with Eichler homes and mid-century modern design after seeing a nearby open house for a thoughtfully restored and renovated Eichler,” Karen says. “We decided we wanted to live in an inspiring home like that one, as a place to raise our boys and entertain friends and family.”

The living room is really what we call the mid-century dream. The lighting is simply one of our favourite details since it takes in light from all directions, including from the ceiling skylight. Of course, we also love the s putnik chandelier that provides a sophisticated touch to the room.
