Do you remember the first person you encountered who validated that your mid-century house was great and that you should LEAN INTO its charm when updating it to suit your own life? That’s such a magical feeling. To realize that you’re not alone in wanting to steer clear of the HGTV “paint it white” world. Today I want to introduce you to one of MY OWN first sources of great Mid Mod inspiration.: Aletha VanderMaasI first “met” Aletha when I was a complete newcomer to the Mid-Century world.

I first “met” Aletha when I was a complete newcomer to the Mid-Century world.

Her home, her design project photos and advice were a revelation to me. She showed me I was not ALONE in thinking vintage mid-century homes could be lovingly updated in ways that felt timeless and still charming. (She also showed me that it was possible to run a small business providing mid-century design services!)

I finally got to chat with Aletha for this week’s podcast and we covered a lot of ground!
