MORE MID-CENTURY MODERN
(Left) The master bedroom sports a herringbone marble floor, subway tiles on
the walls and a painted vanity that began life as a mid-century dresser. The mirror
is vintage as well. (Clockwise from top left) The sunlit foyer has space for sitting
and taking shoes off, and is decorated by Saeed’s mid-century glass collection.
“People say ‘Why would you have that with kids?’” says Saeed. “I say ‘My kids
don’t touch it because I told them that if anything happens to that glass, Mommy
will cry forever.” In this view of the high-ceilinged family room as seen from the
foyer, two benches, a farm table for games and crafts, and a vintage wall map of
Bruges, Belgium, can be seen. The playroom on the lower level houses a lemonade
stand, chalkboard magnet wall, mid-century shelving and a Ramadan tree; the slid-
ing barn door into the room has been painted blue. The guest room is part of an
in-law suite with kitchenette designed so Saeed’s mother could stay for extended
periods. The artwork on the wall is a mid-century vintage work; the headboard is
covered in cotton linen.
