Though we had a handsomely shaped bungalow to begin with, this 1930s bungalow was tired and lowly. It didn’t shine - especially when compared to its neighbors which are located in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in West Austin - Old Enfield. Making Modern Home directed the remodel of the exterior with a bold blue, black and white paint scheme with copper accents and unique terracotta house numbers from Clay Imports. Inside, to make this home appeal to a more sophisticated buyer, we opted to refinish the hardwood floors with Minwax Classic Gray. We added Saltillo and cement tile (in a saturated color) from Rustico combined with Sherwin Williams Oyster Gray Cabinets, honed granite counters, gold accents, and restored crystal knobs/trim. We were able to add a master bathroom and second closet by stealing some room from the kitchen and by creating a stackable laundry area complete with a real steel and glass door we found for under $400 on homedepot.com!
