Is Jamaica Plain really that diverse?

Grassroots Modern was started to help those who are looking for a modern contemporary style at an affordable price. We hope to be able to connect passionate designers with the masses and become a catalyst for change in the modern contemporary world.
You know I’m getting bored with the whole Victorian thing in Jamaica Plain. I like it dont get me wrong – I just like variety. Call me crazy. There is no sin in gutting an old shack of a Mansard and going modern.
I’ve been following another Modernist in Salt Lake City at Grassrootsmodern.com. Creede Fitch has written a lot of posts about his search for, acquisition of, design and implementation of a tiny little house in the Sugarhouse area. There’s also some posts on Creede’s favorite design, clearly hand-plucked from the web. Enjoy.

 Creede is a frugal design junkie. He loves miminamist and mid-century influences and often finds himself with a hammer and drill in hand in order to achieve the style he wants without breaking the bank. In 2005 he started Grassrootsmodern in order to share his ideas and inspirations on affordable design. Creede lives in Utah with his lovely wife, son, and golden doodle ainsley. Chances are he is currently working on his house. |

Thanks for the kind words! Gutting an old shack and going modern is a great way to get the modern look on shoe string budget. We bought our home for 106K and put another 70k into redoing it and adding a super modern 600 sq/ft addition. It was the perfect starter home for us.
