B & D saw this diamond in the rough just last Summer and have made it shine with refinished concrete floors, an entirely revamped kitchen, new windows, and an additional bathroom.

This was a thoughtful and respectful remodel that included careful consideration of energy efficiency and conservation. Clever and creative materials and methods were used to help keep costs down.

Finishing touches include modern classics and local artwork. This is a great renovation that you won't want to miss.

Hey kids!

Did you know that the 2013 Sacramento Mid-Century Modern Home Tour also highlights significant mid-century spots around Land Park and South Land Park?

Our tour is about much more than just homes. We will be identifying 26 "points-of-interest" around the neighborhood; four of these will be open to the public. It's another way to spread the love and share the message about the importance of preserving the great vintage goodness we have here.

Come learn all about the history of the beloved original Tower Records neon sign -- and what it shares in common with another popular sign in town.

K & G's wonderful Eichler Home was originally built for Arnold and Lenore Spitz. If that name sounds familiar, you are correct: this was the childhood home of Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz.

You're going to love this distinctive home designed with a cool palette and mix of vintage and contemporary modern. K & G's renovation is a story of persistence and hard work! Their home will be featured in the May edition of Inside Publications so be sure and check it out.
