However, when we purchased the house, it was simply meant as a space to share photos with friends and relatives \u2014 *the joke was: it took a move to a modern house California to motivate the purchase of a beat-up pickup truck (and not something that was otherwise part of growing up south of the Mason-Dixon line). At the same time, we started <a href=\"http:\/\/www.norcalmod.com\">Norcalmod<\/a> as a space to feature our design-build and product work&#8230; and later, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyanovox.com\">Cyanovox<\/a> for my audio projects.<\/p>\n<p>While they got their start over 10 years ago, the renovation project took over (as they tend to do) \u2014 and interest grew in what we were doing grew. The site and house got a bit of attention at spots like Dwell, DWR, ApartmentTherapy, DesignSponge, and West Elm&#039;s Front+Main. Redneckmodern was front-and-center for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Since the renovation project has (almost) wrapped, there&#039;s less going on here, and more going on over at Norcalmod \u2014 and now at Cyanovox. There&#039;s still stuff to do around the house and there&#039;s still stuff to discover if you&#039;re tackling your own new renovation (so dig around), but don&#039;t be mystified if there aren&#039;t weekly updates \u2014 that&#039;s how it&#039;s supposed to go: you are supposed to finish projects, right?<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Ans, since we&#039;re almost done, more time has been dedicated to your house (not my house) \u2014 and the NorCalMod projects&#8230; from built-in cabinetry to bespoke storage units (with integrated audio!) began to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome \u2014 let&#039;s get to work&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Redneckmodern chronicles the renovation of an Eichler-built home in Concord California&#8230; since then, it has also become a repository for Eichler-specific know-how; general renovation information; and, mid-century-modern restoration tips.
