midcentury modern

The Midcentury Modern home of Justin Edwards, one half of the couple whose love story informs the show — an adaptation of Judy Blume’s 1975 novel — is flooded with work from Black Angelenos.

Out in the desert, where Midcentury Modern design has never gone out of style, there were revived motels left and right.

Rather than embrace rustic farmhouse style or minimalist Midcentury Modern design as is often the case in Los Angeles, Dazey has taken the Highland Park home she shares with husband Phillip Butler and given it an over-the-top maximalist spin.

The book also includes modest homes, like one on Hudson and Larchmont that features a period stained-glass window but whose interior was remodeled in the Midcentury Modern style.

By 1973, Dastoli noted, fewer independent motels were being built, Midcentury Modern style was fading and the Hollywood Premiere was advertising its waterbeds and adult movies in back pages of the Los Angeles Times.
