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 primary bedroom is complete with midcentury furniture, lighting, and Pendleton bedding. Here, we dissect the look.

Iluminación
,
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 $1,011 each. A less-pricey lookalike? The Barret Cone Wall Sconce by Alder & Ore, $266 from Lumens.
Bedding & Accessories
Above: The Company Store’s 400-Thread Count Supima Percale Bedding in Cinder (shown) is no longer available, but their Classic Cool Cotton Percale Bed Sheet Set in Mocha is a good substitute; $154 for the queen size.
Above: The Pendleton Earth Blanket in black multi is similar to the Pendleton blanket on the bed; $339 at Pendleton. For more bedrooms with style, see our posts:
