Spanish Mediterranean Entry With Rug

The pretty entry of this Spanish-style home does interesting things with lines: exposed beams broadly cut across the white ceiling. In the back, a wrought-iron railing swoops up and around the stairs for a stylish path to the second level.

Mediterranean Living Room With Ottomans

Many of the original details of this 1920s Spanish Mediterranean home were preserved, such as the coffered ceiling and the sconces. The custom-built sofas by Cameron Park Furniture provide plush seating, while the ottoman-style coffee tables from Quatrine bring structure to the setting.

Sitting Room Includes Colorful Art

Against the side wall, art by Helen S. Cohen makes a colorful splash above two denim-blue armchairs. Thanks to its mix of hues, the piece complements multiple elements in the room.

Neutral Accents, Flowing Curtains

In this elegant neutral-hued living room, curtains that reach from floor to ceiling help visually add height to the space. An oversized area rug below softens the hardwood floors.

Open Kitchen With Herringbone Floor

In this kitchen's makeover, the tiny space was opened up and modernized with chef-grade appliances and a spacious, open-concept layout. What used to be a maid’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry and sunporch now houses tons of counter space and an island, a large refrigerator and a six-burner Wolf range.
