To live and blog in Hemet: Renovating a “brick house”

This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.

I was snooping around Kate in the Valley’s blog the other day, checking up on Sherman Oaks listings, and Kate recommended a very cool blog about interior design and home remodeling, so I’ll pass it on.

If you are interested in what you can do to stylize a ‘50’s-era tract house, check out The Brick House, which tracks the ongoing renovation of a plain-Jane brick house in Hemet. Moto: ‘All about fixing up a 1950’s mid-century cement brick house. Trying to make it awesome and do it on a tight budget.’

The blog, and the home decorating, are the work of artist Morgan Satterfield, who lived in Los Angeles before moving to the Brick House in Hemet. Yes, it’s in Hemet and it’s cool.

The house is still a work in progress. The blog is fun and very accessible — flea market finds, trying to duplicate a look you’ve seen in a Martha Stewart magazine, paint swatches on the side of the house, etc.
