Calimia Home has reimagined this Mediterranean-style home into a beautiful open and airy floor plan, located in Coral Gables, a city near Miami, Florida. Nestled behind a beautifully tree-lined street, the exterior was transformed with a fresh coat of creamy white paint, a dark door, new windows, and striped awnings. The gorgeous exterior mirrors the inside aesthetic.
The home was completely modernized for today’s design trends while respecting the original historic design and details. The walls were taken down to the studs, pulling off layers of yellow Venetian plaster. Original details such as the arches, oak floors, and even the French range were preserved in the new design.
Another original element that the designers opted to keep was the cherry cabinets, which were sanded and painted. The kitchen was completely opened up by removing the upper cabinets and adding open shelving with modern sconces. Upstairs, they created a primary suite with a relaxing palette and beautiful furnishings, and a serene baby’s nursery.
What We Love: This Mediterranean-style home in beautiful Coral Gables features beautiful and carefully curated details throughout. The designer did a fabulous job of reimagining this home with thoughtfully selected furnishings, accessories, and finishes to make this house a home. Living spaces are warm and welcoming and perfect for everyday living for a growing family. We are especially loving the attractive exterior facade with its refreshing facelift.
