Design ideas from a small-home makeover
The goal of Sunset's Dream Remodel was to make the most out of 1,400 square feet on a not-much-bigger lot.
This 90-year-old Spanish-style bungalow in Los Gatos, Calif., was in need of a makeover and a new location, as it faced a busy boulevard. Because we couldn't move the three-bedroom house to another site, we did the next best thing: We reoriented it toward a side street. Then we gutted it, adding a modest 117 square feet, and remodeled it stylishly.
