Kueber argues that midcentury modest homes have a lot going for them — high-quality materials, excellent craftsmanship and attractive appearances. She even loves what she calls the “’57 Chevy colors” that were common in bathrooms of the era, which she sees as cheerful.
Kueber said she’s found a following among younger homeowners, as well as middle-age people who feel nostalgic about the era. The popularity of the ’60s TV series “Mad Men” hasn’t hurt, either. Because of it, “midcentury modern has penetrated the mainstream in a big way,” she said.
That’s restoration, not renovation.
