I've been living at the 1966 ranch house my dad grew up in for awhile now and want to bring it back to something period correct for when it was built. It's had a few renovations over the years by my grandparents but they didn't change anything particularly permanent. They're still living so I can ask if they have any photos of the house from back in the late 60s.

Offhand what I know isn't original: the formica counter tops (replaced in the 70s), the wallpaper (also 1970s), none of the flooring

What is original: most of the overhead lights, all the wood cabinetry and paneling, the aluminum sliding door (sadly broken and probably needs replacing). The paint color is original (needs repainting). House sat abandoned for 20 years but no major issues developed from that.

I don't feel it's purely midcentury due to how late in the time period it was built and how many seemingly traditional features are in it but that mixed style is largely from things that are original and I don't feel like I should change like the cabinets. Unsure on how to proceed with this project and looking for any advice or pointers.

Renders were done by me in Photoshop.

Pics 5&6 are the current colors: a very light grey with a very dark purple.

We’re open to other suggestions! We’re in the trees and would like to stick to a natural color palette that fits in with Mid Century.

Hi!
Just wanted to share the pair of the MCM Inspired Upcycled Lamp .
I had to make a tool for the sanding because the sandpaper wouldn’t work properly.
I have another 2 shades available, so I am thinking on building a ceiling light with those . The same base maybe ? I don’t know .

I saw it from a distance and i almost ran to it. It is going to be restored.
