St. Louis Style

50's Stone-wear

Once again I was rummaging around one of our houses at the farm and took a picture of some old 50's stone-wear.  My grandparents bought the farm in the 50's and there are nice remnants of 50's items still out there.

It is fun to see a tired mid-century home get a fabulous overall.  Check out the BEFORE and AFTER pictures.

Mid-century Ladue

Ladue is probably the best treasure-trove of quality mid-century finds in St. Louis.  All you need to do is find a ranch that has been lived in by its original owners and you are set.  Can't wait for the estate sale for this house! A little Brady Bunch, though fun!
