When Carla and Niall Maher bought a 1950 suburban ranch house in Westchester, New York, the couple made a commitment to midcentury style. Built into a hillside among other midcentury houses by Roy S. Johnson and Stanley Torkleson, the house was sheetrocked and whitewashed by previous owners (and an Ikea kitchen to boot). The Mahers unearthed the original house plans and restored it to the way it had been. The master bedroom is complete with midcentury furniture, lighting, and Pendleton bedding. Here, we dissect the look.

Above: The original Arne Jacobsen AJ Wall Lamp for Louis Poulsen in yellow-green (shown) is hard to come by, but the light comes in 10 different colors from the Danish Design Store for $664.70 each.
Bedding & Accessories
Above: The Company Store’s 400-Thread Count Supima Percale Bedding in Cinder is $188 for the queen sheet set. Above: The Pendleton Earth Blanket in black multi is similar to the Pendleton blanket on the bed; $319 at Pendleton. Above: The moccasin shoes by the bed are from Japanese clothing brand Visvim. For something similar, Visvim’s current men’s FBT Shoe in off-white is $841 at Need Supply. For more bedrooms with style, see our posts:
