California Modern




These are two of the houses in our neighborhood. I love these two. I've really never thought much about owning a house... I sort of assumed I want to, one day, or it's the "right thing to do", or the grown up thing to do, or the thing Suze Orman said is really financially important to do... I think I have Peter Pan syndrome. I don't want to grow up.

It wasn't until I moved to this neighborhood recently that I started to think I really want to own a house; one of these houses! They were built in the late 50's and early 60's, during the height of the California Modern period. They are designed to be low and softly colored, and not overshadow the landscape. Most of them have an atrium inside!
