This mid-century modern home had
spectacular views of the Texas Hill
Country but unfortunately, most of the
interior spaces did not meet my
client’s needs and the exterior needed
some work. Most important for my
client, the original kitchen was cut off
from the living room (and views!) by a
large stone wall with a fireplace. To
open things up, the wall and fireplace
were removed, the laundry relocated
and a butler’s pantry was taken in to
create the new kitchen and mail room.
A new Venetian plastered
fireplace/coat closet floating wall was
added to separate the living room
from the front entry. This same
floating wall idea was used in the
master bedroom to separate the
sleeping space and bathing space. In
addition, the master bedroom was
reconfigured to include a larger walk-
in closet and a separate small but
efficient office. Currently we are in the
construction stages of a new guest
house/studio.

The remodeled kitchen has a mixture of natural cherry and white-painted
cabinets. Countertops are concrete and soapstone. A pale-green back
painted glass backsplash completes the look.
