Mid-Century Modern Renovation | Littleton CO
At Jamie House Design, we are excited to introduce a stunning mid-century modern full-home renovation project in Littleton, CO. This home, originally built in 1977, had remained largely untouchedโpreserving the character and architectural charm that make mid-century homes so special. Our goal? To modernize the space while maintaining its original integrity, creating a stylish, functional home for a client who values full-service interior design and timeless aesthetics.
The pictures Iโm sharing are before images with a smattering of in-progress shots.
Preserving Mid-Century Character While Modernizing
One of the most remarkable features of this home is its original architecture, including soaring ceilings and gorgeous saltillo tile flooring running throughout its 3,400 square feet. We knew immediately that these elements had to remain untouched to retain the homeโs character. Instead, we focused on updating outdated finishes, reconfiguring inefficient layouts, and integrating modern conveniencesโall while staying true to the mid-century modern aesthetic.

Kitchen Transformation: Function Meets Design
The original kitchen layout underutilized space, with oversized pantries limiting functionality and a lack of ample workspace. Our renovation included:
Expanding the kitchen footprint for better flow and usability.
Installing custom cabinetry that enhances both storage and style.
Upgrading to modern appliances that complement the homeโs sleek mid-century lines.
Retaining original flush-mount light fixtures, a subtle nod to the homeโs past.
The result? A highly functional yet beautifully designed kitchen that feels both fresh and era-appropriate.
The simplified and expanding kitchen design by Jamie House Design is nearing completion featuring an expanding work space, a coffee bar, historic mid-century modern paint colors, and professional appliances.
Primary Suite: A Retreat Designed for Comfort
The primary bedroom offered generous space but lacked an intuitive furniture layout. To maximize functionality, we designed around the roomโs existing windows, seamlessly incorporating them into the overall aesthetic. Key updates included:
Custom window treatments to enhance privacy while maintaining natural light.
A thoughtfully designed bed placement that balances symmetry and style.
A neutral, sophisticated color palette to replace outdated beige tones.
In all of the bathrooms Jamie House Design maintained the original vanity cabinets and counters. The counters are a great neutral poured material in pristine condition. The penny tiles with modern mirrors and plumbing provide a much needed modern update to the mid-century modern home.
Remodeled primary suite wet room features terrazzo and penny tiles in neutral shades highlighted by brass plumbing fixtures.
In the primary bathroom, we transformed a dated and inefficient space into a luxurious retreat by:
Updating all surfaces with modern yet timeless materials.
Redesigning the wet room to improve functionality and flow.
Retaining and refinishing original cabinetry to preserve mid-century charm.
Study & Living Spaces: Cohesive, Curated, and Timeless
The homeโs study featured original wood flooring and a unique sloped ceiling. To maintain its charm while optimizing storage, we:
Expanded and painted the built-in bookshelves for a more cohesive look.
Updated lighting fixtures to remove outdated track lighting.
Kept the stained glass detail, embracing the homeโs history while incorporating modern furnishings.
Throughout the home, we carefully selected designer furniture and accessories to complement the architecture and provide a truly curated, high-end finish. This is the essence of our full-service interior design approachโblending modern updates with timeless mid-century details to create a home that feels both luxurious and livable.
