Renovated Front Exterior
To give this historic Tudor home a new look, the designers removed the wood accents in favor of an all-stucco exterior. Decorative brick around the door and windows, though, accentuates the home's more traditional features and keeps it from being too modern.

Open Dining Room
The bright, sunshine yellow of the family room is carried through to the adjacent dining room. Here, the designers removed a large wall to create a clear line of sight into the kitchen. As a nod to the home's Tudor style, they kept the exposed beams on the ceiling and brought in dark wood furniture to complete the look.

Updated White and Yellow Kitchen
Yellow walls keep the kitchen bright and cheerful, while white cabinets and black soapstone countertops offer a unique contrast. The upper cabinets are glass paneled, creating a more modern display case, while the lower cabinets are updated and have plenty of room for storage.

Concealed Appliances
To update this cozy kitchen, the designers added new cabinets that were more functional and modern, but still remained true to the home's style. They then concealed those appliances with wood panels for a clean, seamless design.
