El Cerrito

Welcome to El Cerrito (translates to 'The Fifth Little Hill') and was designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti, definitely one of those classics of the modernist movement any fan of modern design should get to know. The home was originally built for the Planchart family and is also known as Villa Planchart. It sits on a hilltop in El Cerrito in Caracas, Venezuela. Though the house was completed in 1956, i can't image it will ever be out of syle!

There was no forgetting the ceiling in this home, I love the selection of colors pale blue with yellow and white stripes. 

Check the stair detail so clean and seamless, but incredibly functional, you could swiffer right down those stairs! 

thank you apartment therapy for digging this classic up!

Weekend Flip

BEFORE

AFTER

This weekend my new accomplice and neighbor Julie and I conquered a cute mid-century desk. As we took the drawers out and began to clean and prepare for hours of sanding. We found some hidden treasures that maybe the previous or first owner had lost: a beaded necklace, tax returned from 1977 and letter from her attorney and this book The N

egro in The Civil War printed in 1938: 

Flipping through the pages of the book I found this photograph inside.
