A vacation retreat in Pismo Beach, California was recently remodeled to the vision of the ultimate beachside retirement home using modern Mediterranean style to naturally brighten up the previously dark and dimly-lit house. Tackling the whole house with new paints, materials and detailing transformed the home into the ultimate coastal paradise.
Substituting lighter-colored cabinetry in place of the red-stained wood and changing the dark countertops to white made the most of the decision to more light enter in through the bigger windows near the kitchen. The entrance and living room were remodeled in a similar fashion to incorporate a functional wet bar that maximized empty space, opening up the living room for more entertainment options. Widened doorways that still had arches to honor the original architecture while adding the convenience of modern design made the rooms feel more connected. Previously unused spaces were cleverly utilized, such as the new wine cellar display cleverly integrated to the bottom of the staircase. The master bathroom received a glamorous makeover with lavish details, and the main floor bathroom got a subtle remodel to match the rest of the house’s modern Mediterranean style with curb-free easy access to the shower.
