A Spanish Revival Renovation in Los Angeles
In this Sundae Rehab Story, we take a technical look into how this Spanish-style property was restored with a modern makeover.
At Sundae, we take pride in our ability to breathe new life into the homes we renovate. This Sundae Rehab Story focuses on a Spanish Revival property that had great bones and a wealth of potential. This home, located in a desirable pocket of North Hollywood, got a modern makeover that accented its Spanish flair. Here’s how we got there.

While we were deciding what to do with the floor plan, we had our trade specialists assess the foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Knowing how much of our budget was needed for getting the major systems up to par would help us determine how much we could alter the floor plan.

With a solid plan in place, it was now time for me, Sundae’s Interior Design Team Lead, to get to work putting together a custom design package for this unique Spanish home.

At this point in the rehab, all of the foundation work had been completed, and we were off to the races addressing the floor plan changes, replumbing the house, and completely rewiring the home. We always bring these major systems up to code and have everything pass inspection to ensure a top quality end product for our future buyers.

Given the neighborhood, we felt strongly that we needed custom cabinets to appeal to the buyer pool. We felt the dark, muted teal color cabinets would offer buyers a unique kitchen with some Spanish flare. We also opted to accent the interior doors in this same color to bring the design together. Cabinets and doors are Behr Le Luxe PPU25-20.

We decided to focus on the property’s landscape. This home sat on a lot with great potential. When we purchased the property, the deck in the backyard was already there and in great condition. However, to take the backyard to the next level, we stripped back some of the concrete work to add a lush lawn and gravel fire pit.

Here, it was time to get the kitchen wrapped up! We decided to go with that previously mentioned Behr Le Luxe teal color for the cabinets and a light wood butcher block for the countertops. Our design team chose a simple white backsplash to not compete with the other bold kitchen selections.
To add curb appeal, we installed a decorative porcelain tile over the existing front patio. This casita is really starting to take shape!

This renovation is almost complete! The only things that were left to install were the appliances, decorative lighting, and plumbing fixtures. At this point, all of the tile work was completed, and we were ready for our final inspection.
