This modest house on Hill Drive sits on a corner lot. We remodeled the interior and exterior of this 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house using mid-century modern colors and materials.

We used colors from the mid century pallet to select the exterior and interior colors. Our plant materials are native to California and drought tolerant-Agave Attenuata, Senecio Mandraliscae, Blue Fescue grasses and red flax. We used gravel and decomposed granite for the ground cover with drip irrigation throughout.

The plans shows the large main space at the top. We removed several walls at the top floor to create an open floor plan. When the project was spaced planned, we have five seating areas in the upper main space, each with its own connection to the spaces.

We used a dark walnut for the flooring and cabinetry and we contrasted it with bright white for walls, counters and wall cabinets.

The kitchen is a large open space with a generous center island with a 5-burner cooktop with a downdraft exhaust vent. The large center island offers adequate storage.

We vaulted the ceiling through the entire main space and restored the existing fireplace. The gable glass below the roof beam allows for the exterior garden and light to illuminate the interior of the house. The large sliding doors allow light and breezes to enter the space.

We remodeled this existing bathroom with cool grey slate tile for the flooring and shower. We matched the finishes with a vertical subway tile and a clean, grey quartz counter with a butcher block vanity shelf at the mirror.

This shower was designed to be a large shower in a small room. We have designed the entire room to be a shower with a modest tempered glass return to prevent splashing. The space works very well and we have incorporated a vanity space too.

This room has a nice, long view to the setting sun to the west. We maintained the existing wood flooring on the residential side of the house and rebuilt al of the closets and cabinetry. We also installed new lighting, plumbing and electrical fixtures, dimmers and outlets throughout.

Our strategy for the bathrooms on this project was simple. Cool grey counters and flooring, white vertical subway tile, vanity mirror which extends to the backsplash. Chrome tipped light bulbs and recessed lighting finish the design of this marvelous bathroom.

This is the view from the front door before the project began. It is hardly recognizable. We removed the dividing walls between the living room, dining room and kitchen to open up the floor plan and we also vaulted the ceiling
