Pictorial Modernism, This Modern Life

Big Fish in a Small Eichler

Over the past few years, one of the things we've done quite often is to hit most every MCM open house and estate sale we can find. It's a great glimpse into another space — and in many cases, another life. We've seen time capsules like the house on Shay Drive as well as diamonds-in-the-rough in our own neighborhood. In many cases, you can even find a few treasures.

A few weeks ago, while working on a project in Marin, I stumbled across an estate sale in an Eichler in Terra Linda. What I walked into is best expressed in pictures. While refraining from judgement, I can say that it's certainly the most unique Eichler I've been in in a while with some simply unforgettable choices.

I walked out with a few pieces for Casie's ModApple shop, but the best items might be the photos.

This Modern Life

The Littlest Rednecks

Marty left a huge void in the house… so much so that it took two cats to replace him. Meet Arthur and Gracie — the newest, littlest rednecks.

They've become quite inseperable as the below photos illustrate. And before you ask, yes… there's lots more photos, but posting them would turn this blog into CuteOverload. Click the images for higher-res adorableosity.
