Before & After: This Kitchen is Virtually Unrecognizable Thanks to a Breezy Cali-Coastal Makeover

A modern kitchen with dark blue cabinetry.

The cool, cosmopolitan vibe of California's Pacific coast owes itself to the melting pot of cultures and creatives that reside within it, and the world of design is no exception. When the owners of this home wanted to remodel the kitchen and bathroom, the design team honored the craftsman-style space while upgrading it with contemporary finishes, and the result is seriously impressive.

Nestled amidst the picturesque charm of La Mesa’s historic district, the property - first built in 1922 - stands as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the area, once belonging to La Mesa’s very first police chief. The 1,288-square-foot, three-bedroom home has been given a modern day makeover by local studio Blythe Interiors who revived the heart of the home through the redesign of the kitchen and primary bathroom. Breezy blue cabinetry, zellige tiles, and artisanal oak shelving now make for a cool, contemporary space.
