  • SUCH a helpful MCM resource!

    I’ve been listening to Della’s podcast since before I owned a mid-century home. She is so knowledgeable about different ways to retrovate a mid-century home and she always has tons of resources to share on this podcast. Also, my husband and I enrolled in the Ready to Remodel class where we workshop creative ideas to improve our living spaces. We are very grateful to have Della’s help!

  • Wow

    (S1e2) Thanks for addressing White Flight, Redlining and the insidious, systemically racist practices in home ownership of the mid-century era. It’s very important to acknowledge this and I appreciate you took time to explain it.

    Im a new listener and I think a MCR is perfect for me and my family and plan to buy one and remodel it! Im learning so much already!

  • So incredibly helpful!

    I can’t say enough good things about the Mid Mod Remodel podcast!

    Della is so passionate about mid century homes and you can hear that enthusiasm in her podcast. And then she backs that passion up with that she is a knowledgeable and experienced architect who knows how to put things in terms listeners will understand.

    Sadly, I don’t actually live in a MC home, but I like MC style, so I started listening to Mid Mod Remodel when we were a family of four in a two bedroom apartment condo. I needed... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mid Modness of a Neo-Mansard Roof with Atom Stevens
Q: And I'm so curious what got you started down the rabbit hole of neomancer homes?
Atom explains that the neomancer topic emerged from a combination of looking for typologies in Denver, noticing the prevalence of these roofs, and recognizing a broad, under-documented history. He describes it as a period where architects and builders independently experimented with historicist forms, leading to a distinctive but dispersed set of examples across the region.
Wall to Wall Carpet is back with Homes with Max
Q: What advice do you have for people hunting for a time capsule house?
Lean into the era's ethos, don't fear constraints, and be willing to explore imperfect homes; the goal is to preserve the design DNA and adapt thoughtfully rather than replace everything.
Wall to Wall Carpet is back with Homes with Max
Q: What kinds of houses are you drawn to now, and how do you decide what to feature?
He says he softened earlier strict criteria to include fixer-uppers and partial remodels, focusing on time capsule features and potential that preserve original character, especially things like original doors, windows, and built-ins.
Wall to Wall Carpet is back with Homes with Max
Q: What made you start the Homes with Max account?
Max explains he started documenting time capsule homes while studying architecture in France and found Chicago firms dismissive, so he turned to Instagram to share listings and time capsule spaces with a growing audience.
A mid-century kitchen is a room with four walls with Atom Stevens
Q: What makes a mid-century kitchen distinct from modern designs?
A mid-century kitchen is best understood as a room with four walls that is visually separated from the rest of the house, often featuring built-in cabinetry, flat countertops, and a layout that emphasizes specific work areas, unlike today's more open or modular configurations.
