Rooted + Refined — A Spanish Revival Reimagined
Rooted in the character of its original architecture and refined for the way this family lives today, this Willow Glen home is a thoughtful blend of old and new. A second-story addition created room to grow while preserving the warmth, charm and personality that made the home special from the start.
Throughout the remodel, classic Spanish Revival details are paired with a fresh, collected approach. Arched openings and a statement wood entry door bring softness and character, while warm oak floors, clean millwork and a streamlined staircase give the home a lighter, more modern feel.
The kitchen became the heart of the transformation, anchored by an oversized island and a beautifully detailed cabinetry wall. Glass-front cabinets wrap with glass sides, creating a light, furniture-like display for collected pieces, while built-in dining benches make the adjoining dining space feel both intentional and inviting. Warm brass accents, an apron-front sink and an arched range alcove layer in character while keeping the overall design crisp and timeless.
Beyond the kitchen, that same balance continues… from the show-worthy laundry and mudroom to playful tile, custom wood vanities, thoughtful built-ins and inviting covered outdoor spaces. Each detail adds personality while still feeling connected to the home's original architecture.
The result is a home that feels beautifully evolved rather than completely reinvented — rooted in its Spanish Revival character, refined through thoughtful design, and ready for its next chapter.
