Mid-Century Martins: who we are

Hello World!

We are Hershel and Jody Martin of Overland Park, Kansas.  We love mid-century music, fashion, decor, culture and the rest!  Our interests focus on the 1950's and early 1960's.  We just moved into our 1954 ranch home and are taking it back to the 50's.  Through our blog we will share with you our passion for mid-century life.  If you are looking for a blog about mid-century modern...well, this isn't the place for you.  We aren't into the mid-century modern stuff.  Not our scene.  We look forward to sharing with you our passion for mid-century life!

We want to thank our good friends, David and Rachel Rainwater, for encouraging us to start this blog.  Also, Hershel would like to thank Stephanie Kuhr, of Dottie's Delights, for assuring Hershel that blogging is manly!  Thanks you guys.  We love you!

Let the mid-century adventure begin!

Our 1954 ranch home.  Love at first sight!

Us at Viva Las Vegas 14 in April 2010.  Jody was sporting some Betty bangs and red lipstick.  Hershel was just beginning to grow out his hair for a pompadour.  It's getting there...slowly but surely.
