Second Home Challenge:
A second home and a good investment often require remodeling. The clients requested an updated large space for the activities of living in the Southwest - entertaining, cooking, dining, reading, watching TV, and quiet conversation.
Solution:
Walls were removed and reconfigured. Ceiling heights were raised leaving curved soffits to define the dining and kitchen areas. New doors on existing cabinets, new appliances, granite countertops, a new island, and lighting combines with chili-colored paint to update the kitchen. Good traffic flow encourages interaction between the activity areas.
The Southwest inspired fireplace is the focal point for the TV-conversation grouping and warm Mexican colors, new lighting, niches, and area rugs define space. Leather, fabric, metals and stone provide a rich texture for that special welcome home feeling.
