This remodel included rearranging the entire floor plan (1055 SF), vaulting the living room ceiling, All new windows, stucco, venitian plaster throughout, insulation, lighting, plumbing, adding a bathroom and pantry, and a curvy concrete deck.  A very cozy and efficient little house for a downsizing couple with kids off in the world.  Ample storage is key to living in a small house. Many different strategies were employed from pantries to closets with barn doors to custom cabinets.
