These were custom cast for us by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.westonletters.com/?catID=23&file=index.php%20">WestOn Architectural Numbers</a>. We really wanted to get the Neutra set from DWR, however they unfortunately don’t make 6” numbers. Given that we are so far back from the street, we had to go with the big guns for maximum visibility. In retrospect, I would have gone with a lighter weight and used their "Ribbon" typeface for the perfect 1:1 Neutra knock off. </span><br />

Painting kicked off this week, but not before extensive color tests and multiple trips to see our friends Sherwin and Benjamin. We have settled on “Gunmetal” and find it a fitting color and paint name for the Thiel household.</span>Halli Brunkella Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04956537584624297431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884999838759208055.post-64216272656262808142010-09-23T17:35:00.000-07:002010-09-23T17:45:00.586-07:00surprise inside<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have a rocky relationship with our dishwasher. I feel like all I do is empty the damn thing. Repeat. The other night while bitterly unloading it, I was admiring the fun color that used to be the exterior. Its 70s aura provides a smart little punch of color when you open them.<br />

This was actually the first quick fix we did when we moved in last August. At some point the previous owner of 36thirty decided it was a great idea to paint over the beams in the house. The best part is that they were painted with a semi-gloss, institutional green. Classy. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The winter issue of <a href="http://www.atomic-ranch.com/%20">Atomic Ranch</a> arrived just in time for our holiday flight down to LA. Much to our surprise there was a feature about an <a href="http://totheweb.com/eichler/">Eichler house</a> in Thousand Oaks- my hometown. I knew LA had pockets of these “California Modern” mid-centuries, but little did I know they were right in my backyard this whole time. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://totheweb.com/eichler/">Joseph Eichler</a> (1900–1974) was one of the only post-war developers to build modern homes aimed at the masses. Between 1949 and 1974, he partnered with some of the most progressive architects (including Anshen + Allen, A. Quincy Jones, Claude Oakland and Raphael Soriano) to build more than 11,000 modernist homes. Key Eichler characteristics include open floor plans and floor-to-ceiling glass which help blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. The resurgence of mid-century architecture and the Eichler cult following has pushed average prices into the 800s. They frequently appear in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXK63kvUi6U">advertising</a> and film. <br />
<br />
We quickly pieced together the location and headed down for our architecture fieldtrip. Most of the homes are in great shape. You can certainly tell which owners know they have an Eichler on their hands. Here are some of our favorites and the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nt_blast3r/sets/72157623091116666/">full gallery</a>. Supposedly there are about 100 of these homes in the Thousand Oaks area. I hope to find the rest on our next visit. </span> <br />
