SOUTHERN MODERN REVIVAL
Arcata, CA
The remodel transformed the existing kitchen, laundry room, and living area, focusing on creating a more open and functional layout. As with many renovations, the goal was to enhance circulation and maximize the use of space.
To achieve this, the kitchen was opened up to the adjacent sunken living room, creating a brighter, more inviting environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
A new butler’s pantry was seamlessly integrated into an expanded hallway, leading to the remodeled laundry room for improved convenience and storage.
Additionally, a custom record storage room was designed to showcase and protect the owner’s extensive vinyl collection, blending display with functionality.
For the final touches, the owners selected finishes that balanced warmth and modernity—brightening the existing wood tones with a refined, Southern-inspired layout.
