Though typically a very traditional and dark styled home, using colorful and modern elements brings a refreshing twist to this single family residence in Alameda, California. Soft blue-greys, pops of yellow and a nod to Spanish heritage with terra-cotta faux porcelain tiles really makes this space a unique one. The patterned floor in the entryway is welcoming to guests and family members, giving them a place to sit, drop their bags & coats into beautiful oak cabinetry with reeded glass doors and grey accents. Limiting the recessed lighting and installing more surface mounted lights is more aligned with the true architecture of this home. The main bathroom has a fun and functional trough styled sink, medicine cabinets for storage, and a beautiful custom quarter-sawn oak apothecary cabinet for everyday storage. Downstairs, the guest bathroom is an unexpected modern surprise of white hexagon tile, a floating vanity & timeless design.
